Finally a mainstream organ has picked up on the Yale debate of last week that you read about here first– the Jerusalem Post, though it does so in a slightly distorted manner, saying Yale students voted to "end" the U.S.- Israel relationship, not just the "special" relationship. Note commenter/writer/poet Shalom Freedman, a visitor to my blog and to Commentary, saying of Laura Marcus, the member of the Yale Political Union who suggested inviting Mearsheimer to the school though she disagrees with him, that she has "made a negative contribution to the Jewish people." Another commenter says a vote for Obama is a "vote for the end of Israel." Sort of like the Republican Jewish Coalition saying Obama has the next holocaust up his sleeve. A little like my mother's friend who says that she would sooner vote for Hitler than Obama. Make a joyful noise!!! Shalom, I think it's arguable that Israel is hurting the Jewish people right now, inasmuch as it's become a nation that defies international law out of a sense of chosenness and U.S. proxiness. How good is that for the Jews?
