Israel's Newest Critics: North American Jews

Read our blog "The Flotilla and American Zionism" http://bit.ly/bDAZ7f

The world is still reacting to Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. And some of the most vocal critics to the raid have been North American Jews. Is the reflexive support for Israel -- bound by a legacy of faith, tradition and tragedy -- a thing of the past? Have the realities of modern Zionism fallen out of favour with young North American Jews?

PULEASSE....."IT'S NEVER BEEN AN EASY DESTINY TO BE A JEW."

Get the hell off your victim soapbox. I'm crying a river for those who control most of the economy and media, and get to be treasonous and are applauded for it.

Here's the solution: Get the hell out of the US and move to your true homeland in murderous Israel.

American Jews are going through a crisis. Most of the younger generation are just liberal scum that are basically anti-American and anti-Israel. I'd say this is about 90% of them.

They are mostly atheistic, homosexual supporting, abortion supporting haters of any morals. They are basically enemies of America and probably should be thrown out of the country.

However, the Orthodox appear to be a decent community that is pretty right wing and likes America. I prefer them over the secular ones.

David Frum should grow up, and stop preaching moral corruption.

When your most visible spokesmen are Dershowitz, Frum, and Foxman, you are screaming to the world "do not listen to us, we are all liars".

The Israel lobby has destroyed democracy through their lobby groups. The penalty for that should be extreme torture and death to all members of that lobby.
