Upheavals among Jewry in the US
JVL Introduction
As we reported recently, Senator Chuck Schurmer highest-ranking elected Jewish figure ever in US politics, has called for Netanyahu to go. His call paved the way for the US to abstain in the recent Security Council vote calling for a ceasefire.
The American Jewish community is in turmoil, the dominance of the old regime challenged not just by a young, popular and militant anti-Zionist lobby personified by Jewish Voce for Peace and If Not Now, but by a middle ground that would probably insist on calling themselves Zionist but who have had enough of being bullied by the Lobby whose uncritical support for Israel is, they feel, bad for the United States.
