Every Jew who wants to admit it, knows that we are anyting but a monolithic people. Only the anti-Semites (or Arabs) view us as one. Whether a web site, some sort of umbrella with perhaps offshoots, will accomplish anything more than the thousands of existing locations of Jewish and Israeli interests) is problematic? 15m Jews, and 20m opinions on just about everything. I mean, we cannot even agree on who is or what is, a Jew? Let`s be honest. From the most disenfranchised to the most Haredi, we come in all shades of belief and opinion and observance. We are socialists and capitalists..we believe in gun control to a fault, yet many have numerous weapons. Our politics is equally fragmented..from Meretz to Likud, and from leftist Democrats to right-wing
Republicans.
We have the Americans for Peace Now, a group which believes that Israel`s occupation is the cause of all it`s troubles, to AIPAC which supports the existing Israeli governments to the ZOA, more strident than other, etc. |
