This is generally true and is something we can all be proud of. Recently, I have noticed a rise in objectionable anti-Jewish comments. The fact that someone descends from Lithuanian Jewish ancestors doesn't seem relevant to the current discussion.
Most of us here love Israel, admire Mark Levin, support Eric Cantor, and cheer David Zucker when he lets loose on the Islamofascists and the Commie liberals. But we do get a little frustrated when someone like Hersh trashes America, particularly considering all that America has done for Jews worldwide.
Let's do a full scale statistical evaluation of Hollywood, the media both TV and print, the director committees of the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, People for the American Way, Anti-Gun groups, Separation of Church and State groups, liberal pundits and editors, and academia and then tell me that being Jewish is irrelevant.
I criticize any group of whom a majority seem hellbent to destroy what I cherish....be it liberal Jews, blacks, Mexican immigrants, lapsed Catholics or touchy feely good works Christians.
Sorry. When the vast majority of one of those groups is represented by their members being at the vanguard of the attack on my culture then they are fair game.
My tribe sure gets no pass for diddly so I'm not in the pass giving mood. That hardly infers any of us are anti-Semite, we are indeed staunch opponents of fascism and collectivism and give our money and lives to keep Israel alive in a sea of bogeymen but I'm not going to be a chump for liberal activist Jews who basically hate me for being what I am.
They are the bigots and they are active about it.
btw, we go overboard praising Jewish conservatives same as black ones cause I realize they have a tough home crowd to deal with unlike me as a 7th generation white protestant Missisippian where conservatism is in our DNA code.
