Overcoming Jewish America’s Israel fantasy
The idea of Israel has long been an integral part of Jewish-American identity. But with a generational change among American Jews and increasingly stark political differences with Israel’s leadership, could this be the dawn of a new era? Last summer Michael Oren, who served as Israel’s ambassador to the United States from 2009-13, blithely offended virtually…

Jerusalem, in context
The current events in Jerusalem have a political history and context.

‘Chickengate:’ In the confrontation between Bibi and Obama, Palestinians are only a sideshow
The rift between Washington and Jerusalem has to do with the changing American interests in the Middle East and internal Israeli politics, not with an end to the occupation.

Racial profiling is just racism: A response to Goldberg
Jeffery Goldberg, one of the most well know Jewish American journalists, had an entry in his blog raving about Israeli security procedures at Ben Gurion airport. Ben Gurion (TLV) has no naked-scanning machines and you don’t have to take off your shoes. Instead, security personnel use racial profiling, thoroughly checking Arabs in back rooms while exempting Jewish…

Jeffrey Goldberg: TLV airport security should ask me if I’m Jewish
Journalist Jeffrey Goldberg just flew out of Israel and decided to write a post revering security at Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport, comparing it to the much less effective and what he considers more humiliating American airport security. (I do agree with him that Israeli security is way more effective than American security, since Israel is indeed…

New NYTimes J’lem bureau chief accused of bias against Likud
The demand that the New York Times new Jerusalem bureau chief – who has yet to take up her post here – be “unbiased” towards the Netanyahu government is the height of ‘chutzpah’ Jeffrey Goldberg, the former IDF prison guard and self-appointed gatekeeper of all things Jewish and Zionist, is not happy with the incoming…

Publisher’s Obama assassination call tips ‘Israel-firsters’ debate
Andrew Adler, publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, urged Israel to consider assassinating President Obama. In doing so, he resolved a silly debate Andrew Adler is the publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times, and soon he’ll have to spare some time from his busy schedule to answer questions from Secret Service agents.

Yes, Israel is a source of anti-Semitism
Israel is playing a regular bait and switch: Now it is the State of the Jews, the next moment Jews have nothing to do with it The scandal du jour is the fact that the US ambassador to Belgium, Howard Gutman, told a Jewish conference last week that Islamic anti-Semitism is the result of Israel’s…

Settlement of Sheikh Jarrah not ‘bad politics,’ it’s simply bad
Jeffrey Goldberg believes that the Jewish settlement in Sheikh Jarrah is “not necessarily” in the best Jewish self-interest. Why not? Because peace is important, and without a Palestinian East Jerusalem, there will be no Palestinian state, and hence, no possibility of peace. Israel will either cease to be a Jewish state (through the absorption of…
