JOHN PODHORETZ ON ISRAEL: The Crisis Has Exploded. “We may be hard upon a great moment of testing for American Jews. Are they going to fall for this? Are they going to allow themselves to be used as a wedge against Israel in hostile territory like the United Nations? Are they going to provide more ammunition to the president and his effort to still his critics only weeks before the United States might be announcing its acquiescence to the gravest existential threat the Jewish people have faced since the Holocaust?”

We may be hard upon a great moment of testing for Americans in general, and not just where Israel is concerned.
