'American Jewish Indifference'

Middle East expert and world-renown journalist Caroline Glick has written a scathing indictment of American Jews, stating that apparently for most Jews living in the U.S. the fate of Israel is of no political consequence.

Glick makes the charge in a new article entitled, 'American Jewish Indifference.'

To me it has always been a baffling curiosity that Jews in America seem to prefer Democrats to Republicans, Liberals to Conservatives. This is in spite of the fact that Democrats and Liberals are usually the first ones to sell Israel and Jewish interests down the road, preferring instead to cozy up to Palestinian terrorists and support the dividing of Jerusalem.

Barack Obama is a perfect case in point, as Glick aptly observes.

As an American Jew who now works in Jerusalem, Glick is uniquely qualified to provide insight into this phenomenon, examining the possible reasons for the indifference.
