At Al Jazeera, MJ Rosenberg says that there is “eroding consensus” in the American Jewish community on behalf of Israel. He cites Peter Beinart and David Remnick as indicative of the trend… So the liberal Zionist position is in danger, and powerful editors push a two-state solution that it would be hard for anyone to characterize as just….
[I]dentification with Israel is strongest among those in their 80s and then drops precipitously among the now-ageing “baby boomers” and their kids. (One Ivy Leaguer recently told me that even J Street is a hard sell among Jewish kids. As for AIPAC, forget about it. In fact, any passion for Israel at all makes you pretty much an outlier.)
A year later, David Remnick has crossed Beinart’s Rubicon. In a “Talk of the Town” essay in his magazine, Remnick definitively asserts that it is time for the United States to put a comprehensive peace plan (exchanging the territories for peace) on the table and to push it to fruition.
