I don't have nearly as much insight into the Jewish diaspora as you do, so I'll defer in those matters. My jewish friends are split right down the middle between peace and all out conflict. They are all Reformed...I do not know any Orthodox or Conservative.
Very interesting comment. Everyone I know wants a peaceful 2 state solution.
Perhaps the more militant sounding want peace like I do but have given up hope and if you talk to them during a conflagration they will have blood in their eyes.
You understand but a lot of people do not have a clue about the American jewish feeling towards Israel. Because of the vulnerability and existential criseses a lot of us are Israeli in our hearts maybe just as much if not more then American.
There are a type that I call self hating Jews but they are a small troublesome group that we dismiss as vermin.
It is nice that you have jewish friends. You have always seemed Jewish to me.
No but I grew up near one of the gerat centers of American jewry (south Florida) and attended grade school at a majority jewish school...best friend is jewish, dated jewish girls in high school and best man at my wedding was jewish. That doesn't confer knowledge but I'm not a total babe in the woods like most Christians I know.
You are Jewish in the sense that I am jewish leaving out the umbilical cord connection to Israel.
Another time I will elaborate.
I know tons of Vietnamese people They refer to me as The Jewvanese because I’m so into the culture that it is if I am Vietnamese.
I have a Zelig thing where I take on the characteristics of different ethnic groups.
