>national review: Israel Isn’t a Danger to Jews — Jew Haters Are
The idea that Israel’s actions are putting Jews at risk globally is a contemptible position that would never be applied to any other minority group.
There’s a trendy argument going around progressive circles that the actions of the government of Israel are a danger to Jews everywhere. The argument is deployed by those who obsessively attack Israel but want to be able to claim to be the ones truly acting out of concern for the survival of the Jewish people. But it’s a contemptible position that would never be applied to any other minority group under assault.
In an unhinged rant against Israel’s actions in Gaza that went viral over the summer, actor Mandy Patinkin fumed, “They are endangering not only the State of Israel, which I care deeply about and want to exist, but endangering the Jewish population all over the world.”
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman had earlier offered a column version of this, titled “The Israeli Government Is a Danger to Jews Everywhere.” He warned that “the way Israel is fighting the war in Gaza today is laying the groundwork for a fundamental recasting of how Israel and Jews will be seen the world over.”
