Klein is living in the antisemitic bubble of a legacy media organization, surrounded by Free Palestine cult members and progressive cowards. That’s the extent of the ‘Jewish community’ that he likely knows.
My son still has Zionist young friends at 22, and my daughter returned from Freshman year with Stand with Us stickers on her laptop. All her friends know how pro Israel she is.
One thing is true - as the Democrats allow the progressive to turn their brand antisemitic, people like me who were militant Democrats are turning into independents or crossing over to the GOP. That process can only be stopped if the Democrats read their progressives the riot act and keep out DSA infiltrators, but I don’t see that happening, though it is their only way to survive as an electable party.
Wonderful article. The NYT has been irrelevant for a good twenty, if not thirty years. It is now the newspaper of the wealthy, with no basis in reality.
Conditional Zionists like Thomas Friedman are beyond contemptible. Friedman and his ilk want Israel to be the Jewish Disneylans of their youthful imagination. It never was that and there is no such thing as conditional loyalty. There is loyalty and there is disloyalty. Friedman and his ilk will demand their delusions be implemented down to the last Israeli. Israel a good and free nation with the same problems that exist everywhere and one that exists nowhere else is not interested in going along with it. Zionists do not make common cause with the Jew haters (because that's what all anti-Zionists are). Zionists can be critical. Lord knows Israelis are critical of each other. But they do not stand with their own enemies. Friedman and his ilk are not Zionists.
