Out of tribal identification, I am secretly if unbenownst to him grooming young journalist Josh Nathan-Kazis to take over this blog. Here he attacks Birthright on the Jewish site New Voices, saying if you take the trip, you're giving support to Sheldon Adelson and Adelson is supporting Netanyahu, who is on "the wrong side of history." Don't know if I entirely agree–me, I'd take the free trip if I was young on my theory that you're only young once and the camels are pretty over there. I suggest that Nathan-Kazis attack the anti-Arab brainwashing that takes place on these trips. As John Mearsheimer once said to me, "You're going for the capillary, Phil, go for the jugular!"
Fat's in the fire: JTA has now picked up Nathan-Kazis's piece and questioned his claim that Birthright is "propagandistic." I'll hide you, man!
