Here is an interesting article from the Jerusalem Post. If you should choose to read it, please, read carefully. You may (are likely) to initially be put off by what at first appears to be boiler plate anti-Semitic themes. But the author's point (very cogent warning IMHO) is that there is a danger of inflaming anti-Semitism by the very high profile "heal the earth" tikun olam aspect of liberal/left Judaism is foisting around the globe. Read carefully.

MIDDLE ISRAEL: The Jewish neurosis

Again I wish to emphasize that while I bring this article to this thread I AM NOT saying, implying, hinting, suggesting that wako environmental globalism is a "Jew thing"(wink wink). There are many players in the environmental movement. Tikun olam is just one of "stake holders".

Hmm. I read it, all the way through, and it is just boiler-plate anti-Semitism.

"We Israelis have also been plagued by world mending. Like the founding fathers of the Reform movement, who believed the spiritually stimulating Jews' dispersal was God's blessing to the gentiles, we were foolish enough to think the Middle East would dance to our world-mending tunes. And like the Jews who had just emerged from the ghetto, simply making peace with our enemies wasn't enough for us - we wanted to change them. And so, like previous Jewish world-mending efforts, this one, too, ended in major-league failure, depression and bloodshed."

Precisely how did the Jews try to "change" the arabs?...other than to persuade them to stop killing women and children, etc.?
