I contributed the following comment on fellow PJM author Ron Rosenbaum’s article, “Comparing Hamas to Hitler…”. Hours later, it is still awaiting “moderation”. Mr. Rosenbaum also notes his pride a being a liberal Jew. I am a Christian, but am proud to support and pray for Israel and the Jewish people.
“From the perspective of American politics, I cannot grasp the term “liberal Jew”, which seems an oxymoron. It tells me those who accept such a designation care more about their pampered, “old money” lifestyle than about their brothers and sisters in Israel. Perhaps liberal, western Jews will begin to understand the struggle when leftist European and American leaders turn their backs as radical Muslims openly burn synagogues and attack Jewish citizens on the streets of EU/US cities, while “good people” watch and do nothing. Israel will become the only refuge, and liberalism will no longer be an alternative.”
