The divided Jewish family is one of my big themes here. Divide, divide! is my message. Have it out, or we're all lost! Well, here is the charming and entertaining writer Daniel Radosh, son of Ron Radosh, a sobersided neocon who thinks that it's wonderful that Israel is slaughtering Palestinians, saying acidly in his last post of 2008 that once again "Israel is killing Palestinians". I sense but don't know, that Ron and Daniel disagree on this question, and do so on almost-strictly generational grounds. Ron is Holoaust era antisemitism Jew. Daniel is modern media privileged shiksa-partaking Jew. Just an assumption there, apologies to all if I'm wrong.
But here is the very serious point: It is essential that these generations stop tiptoeing around, and have it out! Have it out over Zionism! New York Times Magazine or New York magazine or New Yorker, assign Daniel Radosh a story about fighting with his father over this question. Daniel, it is a really important story and it is yours. I know you want to write about the late great Eartha Kitt. So do I. But J Street needs some backup now, and this is NOT a parlor game, other sons around the world are looking to you. Thanks to Jeet Heer for tip.
