Israel and its government policies also play a part in the growing alienation from the large Jewish community in the United States, but the in-depth processes in American society show that even the sensitivity and consideration that Israel can and must take will not change the alarming trend. In the US. The plundering of the Hersh sheep in the abolition of the "Outline of the Western Wall" filled the Saha. Israel's ongoing friction with President Obama and its demonstrable identification with its hated successor have exacerbated tensions. The lack of progress towards peace and the plight of the Palestinians have been attributed to Israel's duty, despite the Palestinians' own responsibility for their refusal and promiscuous behavior.

But even a more sensitive, considerate, pluralistic and flexible government, which wins the trust of the mainstream in Israel, will not be able to bring Israel closer to the large and important Jewish community outside it, to the extent that it balances the processes of large sections of American Jewry. And the mainstream is where the interest in Israel is waning: educated young Jews see the Jewish state as less relevant to their identity, their world of values ​​and their destiny, with nearly a third, the vast majority under the age of 40, not affiliated with any current, with the natural increase (1.4%) less than half in Israel. About 70% of them are married to non-Jews. Only about half feel belonging to the Jewish people. About half of the parents do not provide Jewish education to their children. The deep emotional connection to Israel among them is less than half of those aged 65 and over. The Jewish community as a whole is much more liberal than the rest of the population. % Of her are Democrats, 78% voted for Obama in 2008.

In Israel, only in limited circles is there an interest in the challenges and dilemmas of their people across the ocean, and very few expectations of them. Only about half of the Jews in Israel believe that "Jews in Israel and Jews in the Diaspora share a common destiny" (secular only 42%) and less than a quarter strongly agreed. 60% thought that Israel should not take into account, in important decisions, the positions of the Jews in the Diaspora. This is a deep position gap; While the vast majority of American Jews despise Trump, the Israelis, for their part, prefer him at a rate of three and a half times over Biden (56% vs. 16%). 20%).

the trend is alarming in itself. the situation worsens enormously due to the radicalization of the Democrats and the growing tendency among them to align with the messages H"frogrsibiim. "spokesman prominent and articulate their own, Peter Beinart, Nathan week divorce Zionist enterprise. long and detailed article in the New York Times ", formulated a doctrine that effectively denies, in the name of human rights, the legitimacy of the right of self-determination of the Jewish people, and of all nations, only its own. For many years Bainert has characterized Israel as infected with racism Cumulatively, Israeli governments differ. critique deteriorated, obsessively poisonous Tehran's radical, until it was inevitably to the denial of the Jewish state in principle. he admits that spitting in the faces of the people he loves and treason institutions giving meaning and joy to his life. 

but agglomeration of Beinart - a combination of half Truths , Manipulative arguments, an embarrassing level of selectivity and a lack of intellectual honesty - indicates that this is not authentic grief, in the sense of "loyal wounds of love". The propaganda came out of the sack when it became clear that the Jewish state was incompatible with the progressive need to strike at the sins of Western civilization against the "oppressed of the world." 

By virtue of its responsibility for the fate of the Jewish people, Israel must maintain dialogue with this great and important community, reduce alienation by adopting a pluralistic and inclusive approach, and help halt the dissolution of the Jewish identity. It is doubtful that you will find much good will among the progressives, but on the partnership with the mainstream of the liberals it is important to fight.
