This is just a quick link to follow -- an "aside." These are links to interesting things that, for one reason or another, I didn't place into a full posting. Click the link to visit the full article. Go to the blog index for a regular listing of posts.
JCPA: The Intellectual Assault on Israel and Pro-Israel Advocacy: How the American Jewish Community Should React - '...American society at large remains open to persuasion that America's support for Israel is just. Whether the Jews will care enough about their Jewishness to continue to make that case remains an open question. The distancing from Jewish matters in general is at the core of American Jewish distancing from Israel. However remote the possibility may seem today, a Jewish community in danger of losing its Judaic distinctiveness may one day no longer be sufficiently committed to engage in pro-Israel activism.'
That's a substantial read, members of the Jewish community should take it to heart; slow erosions can be, potentially, the most deceptive and the most penetrating.
