Beinart has pushed the reset button on Israel

The Beinart piece is huge. I have to admit it. I resisted; I didn’t see anything new in it, and it bugged me because it is the effort of a religious Jew to revive Zionism among young Jews, but it is huge. It has brought the news home to the Establishment that liberal Jews don’t like Israel for good reason. Here is David Rothkopf, who states here that he is a former roommate of Michael Oren, the ambassador of Israel to the U.S., saying that the Beinart piece marks the "new normal" for Israel (and her propagandists who once sat up late in their bunkbeds thrilling one another with stories they’d read of the Mitla pass). I don’t think I have the patience to read the Rothkopf, too long. But he seems to be saying it’s chilly weather for the special relationship.
