That was good! Especially “elephant Jew in the room” lol

The thing I would add is the assumption that Caroline Glick speaks for all Jews in the diaspora, American or otherwise. She’s thumbing her nose at the huge contributions made by ZOG, Haddasah, B’nai Brith, the Birthright program, all Young Judea’s programs (all long time American Jewish organizations) and countless others that bring old and young American Jews to Israel. Their millions of dollars in funding and programs mean nothing to her?

The whole hubbub about how young American Jews do not like/support Israel or have been taught not to like/support Israel by their self-loathing anti-Zionist (how insulting can Glick get anyway??) is quite hogwash. There’s been other studies done recently - this month, that show similar figures. I don’t know what purpose Glick has for repeating these lies about Zionists and what Zionism means to American Jews.

I can love and support Israel, and feel my heart belongs there (I do) while simultaneously supporting my mother country. Wow! Imagine that! That doesn’t classify me as a sell out, Israel-firster or whatever anti-Semitic tripe someone calls it.

I will not vote Republican. I never did before, I’m not starting now. I’m to compromise everything I believe in? Freedom and justice for all races, women, children and the elderly? That wouldn’t make me much of a Jew or a person, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m sorry Glick doesn’t seem to get that.
