I've always had a very uneasy feeling around my Jewish friends who feel they need to be first in line to criticise Israel (not that I wasn't once one of them). Some of these guys need to be "more anti-Zionist than thou," make sure they have something negative to say about the Israeli government and a quick excuse for the latest Palestinian terrorist. It's always seemed obvious to me - should they get what they want - that once the dust settles, they'll look around themselves and find that the acquaintances they culitivated are not really their friends. Guess Rabbi Michael Lerner got a little reminder of that.
