Eliminate the ‘Diaspora mentality’

Israel and the Jews must accept that we will never be “normal.”

This article makes several good points. Resting on non-Jews, as if we’re dependent on them, which we aren’t, is completely counterproductive.

Palestinian Authority “Martyrs Fund” May Soon Fund Killing Jews in the US and UK

Martyrs are a core part of the Palestinian Arab psyche which goes to the heart of the ceaseless violence in the region. It may soon go global.

G-d forbid. Then leftists will say that the “Palestinians” merely oppose Israel’s policies, not that they hate Jews. They are evil, and very obviously, have a pathological hatred of the Jewish people.

Are Jewish groups truly concerned by 'Jewish priority'?

  The question of which issues the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) designate as their “Public Priorities” is not

UNBELIEVABLE. But, having worked for years at the Jewish Federation-I am not even slightly surprised. Liberal Jewish “rabbis” (conservative and reform “rabbis” do not receive traditional ordination) have been misleading their congregations for generations. The people in them are taught that American liberalism, and Judaism, often diametrically opposed, are identical. So in their minds Judaism is whatever the Democratic Party happens to believe in any given moment (we all know that they have no overarching principles). So I don’t blame the people who did this-I blame the “leaders” on the Jewish left who care far more about their liberalism than anything remotely resembling authentic Judaism.

Should American Jews Speak Hebrew? – Tablet Magazine

Before 1948, David Ben-Gurion used to joke about Zionism’s future: How will we know when we have become a real country like the rest of the world? When Jewish thieves and Jewish prostitutes conduct their business in Hebrew—and Hebrew-speaking policeme

For me the answer is absolutely "yes." Yet I don't speak fluent Hebrew. I've tried to learn many times. The reality, at least for me, and I imagine many others. is that it's very difficult to learn a language unless you're immersed in it, or have a special aptitude for languages. I wasn't blessed with that ability. But should we all learn it? Yes.
