At a Philadelphia Synagogue, Fear of Walt/Mearsheimer (and the Myth of Jewish Powerlessness)

I will cite one fact that bears this out. These men who spoke so eloquently last night of the need of defeating terrorism, not appeasing it, or making deals with it, but of triumphing over Islamofascism, as Daniel Pipes put it so militantly—they did not once call on Jewish kids to join the Army.

As I have reported, there are more Buddhists in the U.S. armed forces than Jewish kids. At 1.3 percent of the adult population, statistically we should be about 16,000. We are less than 4,000--25 percent of expected representation, compared to 40 percent for that other elite, Episcopalians. We are underrepresented for a simple reason; because our children have choices, they are by and large affluent. The rightwing Jews at this event did not speak of such matters because they are so identified with an understanding of Jewish vulnerability, in Europe and in Israel.

If you wanted to sense the power of Walt and Mearsheimer’s ideas, there was no better place than the conservative synagogue Beth Hillel outside Philadelphia last night, a panel discussion sponsored by the rightwing Jewish Policy Center on radical Islam and the new anti-Semitism on campus, featuring four neoconservatives, including Giuliani adviser Daniel Pipes.

"..they did not once call on Jewish kids to join the Army.."

They know that there will be plenty of red-blooded American kids that will join up and get sent to the ME slaughterhouse, fighting wars for Israel.

NEVER AGAIN!!!

NEVER AGAIN!!!!
