Any other Jews having moral qualms about remaining a part of DU?

3. Once the left started identifying with the poorer darker Palestinians

as against the middle-class Israelis , the die was cast.

Older, more experienced people may be able to draw a subtle line between anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. Younger people, with which this forum abounds, are unfamiliar with the genesis of Israel and are unable to make the subtle distinctions. And, of course, as the rhetoric increases, it no longer is politically necessary to make distinctions between Israelis and Jews. You can shout out once in a while against what you read here, I can, someone else can, but the indignation delegation has the easier, cheaper job and are going to out-post us every time.

I used to keep the most persistent anti-semites on "Ignore", but we don't seem to have that anymore, so I just mentally ignore them. It seems to me that if you're going to continue associating with liberals, you're going to have to develop a modus vivendi for getting along with the current liberal world view. Mine is to occasionally shout out and mostly ignore. I also read Jewish sites with Zionist sympathies once in a while for balance. But I am old and very mellowed out. And I have a certain amount of sympathy with Israel's situation. Your accommodation must reflect your life. Best of luck.
