I agree, but it takes guts and American Jews are a squishy bunch. They desperately want acceptance and they want to believe in utopian fantasies of total equality.. . They experienced the Nazis from a distance, and they never experienced the Soviet antisemitism, or the Muslim version. You must remember that 70% of Isralie Jews are not of european origin, and they have a much more conservative and cynical,attitude.. They come from North African, or the Arab countries or Ethiopia, or IRAN or the central Asian republics and Russia. This population, understands the traditional Muslim mentality and treatment towards any kind of descent or opposition. This is why they will fight to the death for their freedom to worship and to live in a liberal democratic. and tolerant society..
