.......between the negative and the positive
..........between the erev rav and authentic Jews
Are the Leftists co-opting Zionism's
raison d’etre?
The Failing American Jewish identity:
In 2003, several prominent Jewish philanthropists hired Republican pollster Frank Luntz to explain why American Jewish college students were not more vigorously rebutting campus criticism of Israel. In response, he unwittingly produced the most damning indictment of the organized American Jewish community that I have ever seen. The philanthropists wanted to know what Jewish students thought about Israel.
"LUNTZ FOUND THAT THEY MOSTLY DID NOT"
“[I]n Israel today, this humane, universalistic Zionism does not wield power”
DO ISRAELI LEADERS NEED A NEW IDENTITY?
To Better Reflect its People:
“In 2009, a poll by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 53 percent of Jewish Israelis (and 77 percent of recent immigrants from the former USSR) support encouraging Arabs to leave the country”
“When Israeli high schools held mock elections last year, Lieberman won”
“March, a poll found that 56 percent of Jewish Israeli high school students—and more than 80 percent of religious Jewish high school students—would deny Israeli Arabs the right to be elected to the Knesset”
“If American Jewish groups claim that Israel’s overseas human rights critics are motivated by anti- Israeli, if not anti-Semitic, bias, what does that say about Israel’s domestic human rights critics?”
“In 2002, America’s major Jewish organizations sponsored a large Israel solidarity rally on the Washington Mall. Up and down the east coast, yeshivas shut down for the day, swelling the estimated Orthodox share of the crowd to close to 70 percent.”
We just came from Har Sinai
We stood under a Chuppa
We were wed to HKB”H
We were given the Torah
With is Laws and Customs
and
Hashem gave us
His Law & Customs
Ten Commandments
To become a Nation of Holy People
Forty days prior
to a birth
It is decreed that plony marries plony
It is so decreed
There will be no Divorce
from Hashem
and His Laws & Statutes
We are Forever
Married
