How vacuous and small minded of Earn Money... Back Beinart. Briefly in his opening statement he worries that Israeli policies are alienating American Jewsih young people from supporting the State. He claims they have no interest because Israel does not give democratic rights and oppresses Palestinians under the occupation. I believe so many of these young people don't care about Israel because they have been raised in homes that are from mixed marriages where Judaism, Jewishness and Israel are never on the agenda. And if not from mixed marriages they are from so deeply assimilated homes and backgrounds that Israel is not a homeland to them. Beinart gives way too much credit to internal Israeli policies for the alienation of American Jewish youth.OPAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-49525052857953253842010-11-07T14:38:48.502+02:002010-11-07T14:38:48.502+02:00thats the title he uses, I have no problem with it...thats the title he uses, I have no problem with it.
