The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment by Peter Beinart
--------------------
Yeah, I'd recommend it too. It confirms most of my impressions among Jewish friends. Israel is in big trouble around here and it isn't restricted to the young, and doesn't divide so easily on the Orthodox line, because it depends on which of the Orthodox you follow.
I think this is the key quote:
``For several decades, the Jewish establishment has asked American Jews to check their liberalism at Zionism's door, and now, to their horror, they are finding that many young Jews have checked their Zionism instead.''
