it is more ironic that you are a Zionist anti-smite that is not in Israel

Ben - their monetary contributions are just as unwelcome. Read With Friends Like You: What Israelis Really Think About American Jews by Matti Golan. It's a bit old, but very true. Benjaim - I don't like those organizations either. As for Israel - it is the nation's home, which Jews wish to simply admire or criticize from afar, Israel has every right to speak in the name of the nation, but not for individuals. I did not say all of American Jews are simply a waste of breath, but that organizations like J Street, AIPAC, or any other Jewish American organization that seeks to influence Israeli policy at all, is. Lastly, it is rather ironic that you write accusation of "Classic Zionist Anti Semitism" - from Israel.

And how do you feel about AIPAC or the Ir Daivd foundation based in Brooklyn? Israel speaks in the Jewish name all the time. Even in the name of Jews that do not want anything to do with Israel. Why don’t you write about that?

If Israel is the forefront of modern Jewish life then surely Jews that have roots in the United States and live should have a say in the ‘forefront’

How sick it is that you simply disregard the opinions of the second largest Jewish community (not by many) in the world as a ‘waste of breath’

Classic Zionist Anti Semitism!

American Jews’ opinions don’t matter – just their monetary contribution and group loyalty. A fine vision for “modern Jewish life.”
