Jewish identity

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Order propecia online cheap, Several recent posts on MondoWeiss decry the fact that the overwhelming majority of attendees at the recent J Street conference were (horror of horrors!) Jews, or that they looked at the conflict through a distinctly (gasp!) Jewish prism and dared to discuss (how appalling!) Jewish values.

Lynn Gottleib asks "do we really need another Jewish only road?"

J Street was a place where Jews talked to Jews about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Cheap propecia no rx, Few Palestinians were present. Apparently they didn’t make it through the checkpoint. The narrative of J Street, Hawaii HI , like most Jewish narratives about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Massachusetts MA Mass. , reflects the nature of the conflict as seen through a Jewish lens: Palestinians are physically absent. A Jew who seeks to express her activism in solidarity with Palestinians is in danger of loosing her ‘I love Israel’ card at a mainstream Jewish checkpoint, order propecia online cheap. There were checkpoints at J Street.

...How can we think that calling together 1, propecia online kaufen,500 Jewish progressives with few Palestinians present will yield a realistic picture of how and what kind of struggle we might conduct in the name of peace. Wisconsin WI Wis. , Only in partnership with Palestinians can we ever hope to transform the current conflict.

Philip Weiss concurs:

[T]his conversation (Israel/Palestine) also taps into Arab-Americans’ deepest personal feelings of family, history and community, as Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb reminded us, ordering propecia online legally. But they had a lesser role in the conference, South Dakota SD , just as they have no role in the political force that J Street says it’s taking on...I remember that American blacks played a key role in ending apartheid in South Africa, out of solidarity. Order propecia online cheap, J Street is not including the Palestinian solidarity folks this time around. And just imagine if Palestinians were included, California CA Calif. . J Street would have to change its line on Goldstone.

How can I count the ways in which this premise is wrongheaded. παραγγείλετε online propecia, It ignores the political reality in Washington, where, like it or not, ordering propecia online cheap, identity politics is a game that must be played. Købe propecia, For years, the political elite believed that just one segment of the American Jewish community --the conventional Israel lobby-- was politically consequential. To develop a political counterweight, it is essential to show them that there are Jewish voters and Jewish donors who disagree with that lobby on some--although not all--points, order propecia online cheap. That was the purpose of the conference, goedkope propecia apotheek. It was not intended to take on the MUCH harder task of forging a broad-based movement with Palestinians. Online propecia, These criticisms are the expressions of people who have no practical responsibility for organizing anything other than their own thoughts. Their complaints boil down to the idea that the J Street ccnference, one of the most ambitious political undertakings in my memory, generic propecia, was simply not ambitious ENOUGH.
. αγοράζουν φτηνά propecia, Of course a broader-based movement of Jews, Muslims and Christians is vitally important. But you need to organize the union in your own industry before you can be in solidarity with workers in other industries, αγοράζουν online propecia.

Also, Cheapest propecia prices, Weiss ignores the fact that, just before the conference, American Jewish leaders under the auspices of J Street met with Arab American leaders gathered together for a conference of the Arab American Institute, propecia prices. I was there. There were heartfelt pledges to work together, order propecia online cheap. Propecia sale, It was stirring. It offered hope for just the sort of "movement" Weiss wants. Would he also criticize the AAI for meeting separately, New Mexico NM N.Mex. .

These objections against a conference of Jews betray something deeper, Buy propecia without prescription, I think, something more than just a practical objection to the organizing principles of one event. Order propecia online cheap, They betray a discomfort and sometimes even an outright hostility to the very idea of a Jewish people, of Jewish community, of Jewish bonds. That is one of the recurring themes in Philip Weiss' commentaries and in the expressed sentiments of too many far leftists when they look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ordering propecia no rx. In other commentaries on the J Street conference, Osta alennus propecia, Weiss complained about all the "handwringing" and the agonized conversations about the impact of events in the Middle East on "Jewish identity." He and his fans have no patience or tolerance for anyone who cares about Jewish identity while Palestinians are stranded at West Bank checkpoints or boycotted in Gaza. Figuring out who we are, and our place in the cosmos, Køb billige propecia, and the nature of our own community, New Hampshire NH N.H. , is treated as a kind of bourgeois indulgence rather than a critically important step in the process of making common cause with others.

I've noted this before. One of the best posts on this blog was an early one called "The far left's discomfort with Jewish identity." A brief excerpt:

Identifying oneself as part of the Jewish people is an expression of a simple, deep-seated human yearning for community, for ties with those outside of ourselves, order propecia online cheap. What is wrong with that?...

...To most American Jews, the quest to define their Jewish identity and find solace in Jewish community is one way to remain sane and whole. To many of them, it also involves an embrace of principles rooted in ancient texts that, in fact, were the first to articulate many of the values that Phil Weiss and the modern left also embrace, including the injunctions to welcome strangers, pursue justice and “seek peace and pursue it.”

Much of my own Jewish identity is defined by an effort to fix what is broken in Israel and Palestine. This effort involves participation in a global community of progressive Zionists who are fighting settlement expansion, urging the Israeli government to stop taking steps that could preclude a 2-state solution and trying to build alternatives to the conventional pro-Israel lobby in America. If the price of building a community that can achieve those ends is a certain amount of parochialism, I’ll pay it.

Without a certain amount of parochialism, in fact, without the angry sense that human rights violations in the territories are perpetrated in our name, without the conviction that the Jewish community--OUR community--has been misrepresented in DC for far too long, the movement to circumvent the conventional Israel lobby would be less motivated, less effective. And, in the long run, that will hurt the Palestinian cause.

Buy propecia online cheap, It was Palestinian suffering that got me engaged with Israel and concerned about its future. φτηνές φαρμακείο propecia, I had attended Habonim camp and had grown up in an ardently Labor Zionist household. But when I was in my twenties, cheap propecia online cheap, Where to buy cheap propecia, I didn’t have much to do with Israel until the massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon, in the Fall of 1982, cheapest propecia in the world. Cheap propecia without prescription, Initially, I was appalled by Israeli officials' denial of any responsibility, North Dakota ND . Maryland MD Md. , But my fury turned into something more constructive when I learned about a massive Peace Now rally, where hundreds of thousands of Israelis demanded that their government investigate the extent of Israel's culpability and fire Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, buy propecia cod.

I began to investigate Peace Now and the Israeli left, to explore the nuances and complexities of The Situation, to participate in debates and conversations about the PLO and territorial compromise, buy propecia online cheap. Om propecia online, I joined a group called Friends of Peace Now (the precursor to Americans for Peace Now). I became committed, acquistare a buon mercato propecia, Kaufen propecia, in a way I had never been before, to the survival of a Jewish democratic state next to a Palestinian state, Osta propecia. Order propecia, No doubt that will be unfortunate news to those who believe nothing about Israel is worth preserving, but it’s the news that's fit to print, propecia online cheap. Propecia online kopen, This journey (described in a bit more detail in my book) was hardly unique. Buy propecia online cheap, Over the years, I’ve seen others arrive at the doorstep of groups like Americans for Peace Now because they were mainly concerned about human rights and social justice. Initially, halvalla propecia apteekki, Kjøp Discount propecia, they didn’t feel many connections to Israel. Eventually, Utah UT , Acquistare online propecia, by aligning themselves with likeminded progressives in the Jewish state, they learned to see the world through the eyes of Israelis as well as Palestinians, propecia generic. Kopen goedkope propecia, And they developed ties to Israel that had not existed before.

J Street did not invent this process, Rhode Island RI R.I. . But it has the potential to encourage it on a large scale, based on what was happening to the college students and recent grads who flocked to its just-completed, already-legendary conference in Washington, buy propecia online cheap. Ordering propecia online, A small number of them were one-state advocates. Some were committed, acheter propecia bon marché, Nevada NV Nev. , left-leaning Zionists. My impression was that many of them were just trying to figure out what to think and how to feel, searching for ways to identify with a Jewish state and society that, to their peers, is a toxic and evil empire.

“I get inspired by the idea of a place where Jews are in the majority,” said a young man during the small-group discussion that followed the first plenary session. Buy propecia online cheap, But he didn’t know whether “it’s possible to do that without oppressing another people.” I asked random young people what they were getting out of the conference. One said she had come because “progressive people” she knew were in the Palestinian solidarity movement and “I just kind of wanted to check out the liberal Jews, see what they were about for myself.”

Jim Besser writes of the “student faction that embarrassed J Street leadership with a debate about minimizing the use of the phrase “pro-Israel” in campus activism.” (By the way, it is not true that “pro-Israel” was deleted from the official description or platform of "J Street University," as was reported in the
Jerusalem Post and then gleefully picked up in the vengeful right wing blogosphere. Here is an official statement that clears this up).

I don’t know if any of these young people will ever pass the “pro-Israel” litmus test that is imposed by the Jewish establishment. But there is a good chance that many of them will begin to swim in the waters of Israeli politics, understand the complexities of The Situation, then find themselves arguing vociferously with both the Israel-right-or-wrong types and the lefties who hate all things Israeli. In other words, they will join or stay involved with the Jewish community, buy propecia online cheap. That is a good thing. I, for one, want this extraordinary, ongoing experiment called the “Jewish people” to succeed.

In a post decrying the aforementioned, false report about J Street University, Michael Goldfarb wrote the following, astonishing sentence: “J Street is a left-wing group that supports social justice in occupied Palestine and a bunch of other dopey progressive ideas about the Middle East.” It is those "dopey" ideas that have a chance to salvage an entire generation of Jews, as long as J Street and its fellow travellers continue the kind of inclusive community-building that began at its conference.

Order Clomid

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

A new Zogby International poll Order clomid, shows that 71 percent of Obama backers think the United States should "get tough with Israel" in order to stop settlement expansion, while 26 percent of McCain supporters feel that way. 80 percent of likely Obama voters also agreed with the statement, ``It's time for the United States to get tough with Israel, købe clomid,” in contrast to most McCain supporters. Buy clomid no prescription, No doubt many Israelis and their right wing American backers are mortified by the fact that Obama’s base wants him to do something about the settlement enterprise and to impose costs on Israel if it does nothing. No doubt the far left and other attackers of all things Israeli will rejoice at these poll numbers.

In contrast, kjøpe clomid online, while I am in the camp that wants Obama to have the political wiggle room to take a fair, Rhode Island RI R.I. , evenhanded approach to the conflict, I hope that Netanyahu will NOT put Obama in a position where the President is forced to "get tough" with Israel. Like others on the pro-Israel left, I believe there is no chance to unravel the Gordian knot of the Israel-Palestinian conflict without bold American diplomacy, and the U.S, order clomid. must insist that the settlements project comes to a dead-stop even as it presses for an end to Palestinian violence and incitement, clomid online.

But that doesn't mean that I and my fellow travellers in Americans for Peace Now, Ordering clomid without prescription, J Street, Israel Policy Forum, Ameinu and Brit Tzedek v’Shalom will be happy if the U.S, California CA Calif. . is forced to exercise tough love. Generic clomid, If a bitter public confrontation has to happen, so be it. Order clomid, But it will hurt, in the same way that it hurts to argue bitterly with a recalcitrant family member.

Israeli pundits on the right do not seem to understand this, ordering clomid online legally. Nor do they understand what the pro-Israel peace camp in the U.S. Order clomid without prescription, is advocating. They seem to believe we would be delighted by a confrontation and are rooting for it because of our hostility to the very idea of Israel, and our ardent desire for it to make one-sided concessions, buy clomid cod. A column in the Jerusalem Post on this topic by Lenny Ben-David was entitled, "Rapture over the Rupture." A diatribe from Isi Liebler calls us “fake Zionists “and expresses outrage at “the favorable media exposure provided to fringe groups…, whose prime objective is to ‘balance’ AIPAC activities by lobbying the Obama administration to force Israel to make further unilateral concessions.”

The Jewish right finds it inconceivable for us to believe what we believe and still worry about Israel’s security and well-being, order clomid. In fact, Billige clomid Apotheke, we are taking our cues from experienced Israeli diplomats and other international experts who understand it is fruitless for a well-armed, occupying power to negotiate the terms of a viable settlement with an almost defenseless occupied people, unless a third party mediates and presses both sides to take politically unpopular steps they otherwise might not take, buy clomid.

In my book, Osta alennus clomid, a whole chapter is devoted to interviews with a broad range of Israelis who favor various forms of interventionist American diplomacy, including former diplomats and officials like Shlomo Ben-Ami, David Kimche, αγοράζουν online clomid, Daniel Levy and Ephraim Sneh. Cheap clomid online cheap, None of them want the U.S. to sell Israel down the river by compromising its core security requirements or forcing it to make unilateral concessions; all of them want America to stop both sides from taking steps that will destroy the possibility of a two state solution, and to come up with creative proposals to bridge the gaps between them, Illinois IL Ill. . Order clomid, But even if Israelis feel that way, we are not permitted to, according to the Israel-must-be-left-alone crowd. Moreover, Florida FL Fla. , the fact that we are Americans who believe it is in our own nation’s interests to bolster the forces of moderation in the Middle East is an inconvenient truth they don’t even mention.

While the Jewish right denounces people in my camp for turning our backs on Israel, much of the international left despises us for having emotional ties to Israel and/or Israeli Jews, buy clomid cheap. Believing that Israel is an Evil Empire with no redeeming characteristics, Order clomid no rx, they can only abide Jews who reflexively find everything about it to be contemptible. Any other sentiment is considered "Jewish particularism," a synonym for vile and unjustified tribalism, order clomid pills. Essentially, Maryland MD Md. , they object to our desire to belong to something that is larger than ourselves and smaller than the entire human race.

Sorry, universalists, Osta clomid, tough love for Israel will be tough for me to bear, Clomid online kopen, because my identity as a Jew is bound up with Israel and I am emotionally and spiritually connected to it. Sorry, supporters of the status quo, order clomid online cheap, if I endorsed Israeli behaviour or policies that I believed were deplorable and misguided, if I stopped trying to help progressive Israelis who are trying to fix what is broken in the Jewish state, that would be turning my back on Israel.

If my camp's sentiments and ideas are mercilessly bashed by both the Jewish right and the far left, it is a good sign that the sentiments are justifiable and the ideas have merit.

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

Viagra pharmacy, A commentator with a brilliant nickname, "Agog," was disturbed by the previous thread's discussion of candidates' positions on Israel. Agog asked: "Is that how you judge the merits of the respective candidates: who is best for Israel, Minnesota MN Minn. . αγοράζουν online viagra, Shouldn’t the criterion be who is best for the US. The two countries’ interests are not one and the same."

The premise that Israel is the most important priority for American Jewish voters has been endlessly recycled in this campaign season, köpa viagra. Købe viagra online, It was stongly implied in pre-Super Tuesday primary coverage that focused obessively on the positions of Obama/Clinton/McCain on Israel. It was assumed by the ignorant creeps who came up with the smear campaign against Rob Malley; they seemed to believe that if a whiff of even-handedness could be detected in Obama's advisor, it would automatically swing Jewish votes away from the candidate, viagra pharmacy.

All of this chatter feeds the suspicions of people like Agog, Hawaii HI , Cheapest viagra online, who choose to believe that when American Jews discuss politicians' views on Israel, it is evidence that we don't care enough about our own country, buy viagra online without prescription. Viagra without prescription, But while Israel's fate is certainly a concern for most American Jews, an American Jewish Committee poll in November, discount viagra, Buy viagra without prescription, 2007 revealed that it an obsession for a tiny minority of Jewish voters:

When asked to pick their most important campaign issue from a list of options, 23% of those surveyed named the economy and jobs, ordering viagra overnight delivery, Oregon OR Ore. , followed by health care (19%), the war in Iraq (16%), osta alennus viagra, Order viagra pills, terrorism and national security (14%), support for Israel (6%), ordering viagra no rx, Buy viagra from canada, immigration (6%) and the energy crisis (6%).

It is impossible to discern how many of the respondents who ranked the economy or health care as their highest priorities also looked closely at candidates' stances on Israel. I suspect the percentage is high, købe viagra. Ordering viagra online without prescription, Hillary might have had increased appeal to Jewish voters in, for example, Texas TX Tex. , Cheap viagra no rx, New York, because of the perception that she was "good on Israel." But that doesn't mean Israel's plight or future was anything close to the most important reason why they voted for her, District of Columbia DC D.C. . Viagra pharmacy, For me, the most important priorities when I entered the voting booth were fixing our unconscionable health care system, preventing the economy from collapsing, getting us out of Iraq and making college education more affordable for my daughter, who is in high school. Indiana IN Ind. , But of course I also factored in the candidates' stances on Israel and the Middle East, as well as their ability to restore America's shattered international credibility, kjøpe viagra, Ordering viagra, when making my choice.

The truth about Jewish voters' priorities won't matter to the conspiracy theorists who search for ways to prove that we are a bunch of disloyal fifth columnists intent upon subverting the Republic, Wisconsin WI Wis. . Logic and facts don't do anything to dissuade them and it is no use trying. But their close cousins, who believe there is something incompatible about American citizenship and concern for Israel's survival and safety, are often more lucid. They include the likes of Philip Weiss, who insists American Jews' commitment to Israel means they are less loyal to America than they should be, and that we need a public conversation about this "problem."

They should look at the AJC poll results and try to understand something that should not be hard to understand: Israel is one of the things Americans Jews care about and worry about, but when it is time to exercise our civic responsibilities, what happens here at home is what matters most to us.

Viagra Sale

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Viagra sale, The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations recently "reaffirmed its longstanding position that a united Jerusalem should remain the sovereign and eternal capital of Israel," according to a JTA story. Some left-of-center groups were against it but they could not stem the tide. Anyone with the slightest familiarity with Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in the last decade, billige viagra Apotheke, including Ehud Olmert, Viagra pedido en línea, knows that the status of Jerusalem is an open question that must be resolved as part of a comprehensive agreement, but that did not deter the groups from, once again, billiga viagra apotek, being more Israeli than the Israeli government. Viagra without prescription, The idea that the Jewish people have had a continuous, unbreakable emotional and spiritual connection with Jerusalem for thousands of years is, of course, Iowa IA , one of the organizing principles of our narrative. Cheap viagra no rx, I certainly feel that connection, deep in my bones. But the transformation of that emotional and spiritual identification into the core of a political ideology, is, in fact, a recent phenomenon, viagra sale.

For one thing, cheap viagra from canada, many secular Israelis on the coastal plain want nothing to do with Jerusalem, Texas TX Tex. , rarely if ever venture there, and live quite happily without such a connection. That is, lowest price viagra, I think, Buy viagra no prescription, their loss. But the Zionist pioneers who are mythic heroes to American Jews also lacked an attachment to the city. I just stumbled upon a compelling tidbit in The History of Zionism by Walter Laqueur, För viagra online, by far the best and most comprehensive history of the movement. Viagra sale, He is, by and large, sympathetic to the Zionist cause. Ordering viagra from canada, But, in a new preface written in 2005, he tells us:

The question of Jerusalem illustrates best the enormous difference between historical Zionism and the ideology that has replaced it, comprar viagra de descuento. Jerusalem contains the holy places of three world religions, Alaska AK , and elementary prudence if not basic tolerance should have prevented declarations according to which Jerusalem was to remain forever undivided under Israeli rule. It was, in fact, cheap viagra, an empty declaration, Rabatt kaufen viagra, for in actual fact Jerusalem is of course a divided city.

When Hertzl first visited Jerusalem, he saw only the musty deposits of two thousand years of inhumanity, Massachusetts MA Mass. , intolerance, Comprare viagra, and impurity; he perceived superstition and intolerance on all sides. Hertzl suggested Haifa as the capital of the new Jewish state, viagra sale. But it was not only Hertzl, the assimilated Jew, buy viagra online, who reacted in this unsentimental manner. Buy viagra no rx, Chaim Weizmann always feared becoming involved in the Jerusalem imbroglio. And because their attachment to the city was not overwhelming, David Ben Gurion and other leaders of the second aliyah did not visit Jerusalem for the first time until two or three years after their arrival in the country, viagra cheap. For many years, Pharmacie viagra bon marché, not a single Zionist leader chose to live in Jerusalem. Viagra sale, For them, Jerusalem symbolized the negative past of Jewish history, that part of the tradition from which they wanted to disassociate themselves.

The idea that Jerusalem was the beginning and end of Zionism, that Israel could not exist without having full sovereignty over the entire city emerged only after 1967 and the growth of a religious fanaticism and aggressive nationalism that had more in common with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood than the founding fathers of Zionism, West Virginia WV W.Va. .

And so, South Carolina SC S.C. , guarding the holy sites has become a nightmare and Jerusalem itself has become a dangerous flashpoint. The insanity of a few religious fanatics –Jewish, Muslim or Christian—has the potential of transforming a local conflict into a religious war with incalculable consequences, Kansas KS Kans. .

Word up, Walter.

Worth reading: “Reclaiming the Z Word” (i.e., Zionism)

Friday, April 13th, 2007

On Sunday, I am going to argue that it is important to start answering the claims of educated anti-Zionists with cogent, calm and respectful arguments, rather than engaging in frenzied efforts to deny them platforms. In the meantime, the following essay by Chris MacDonald-Dennis on why he calls himself a Zionist is worth reading. […]

Philip Weiss and the straw man of Jewish “separatism”

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

On April 1st, I remarked that a post by Philip Weiss had conveyed the far left’s discomfort with Jewish identity. Weiss’ response created so many straw men that it would take hours to torch them. But one of his ideological scarecrows deserves comment, because it is based on a notion of Jewish identity […]
