Rich Cohen of Tablet Magazine has a longish piece bemoaning the decline of how American Jews are viewed. He denies that the change can be attributed to the reaction of liberal America to “the policies of Israel. “Israel is not the source of anti-Semitism, but a result. Before the Holocaust, it was said that the Jews in their statelessness were the cause of wars and disturbance…… After the Holocaust, it’s said that Israel, the Jewish State, is the burr under that saddle. Though the condition has changed—no state v. state—the conclusion remains the same: It’s the Jews. To me, this is the world settling back into the Jew-loving and Jew-hating equilibrium that was unsettled, for a time, by the Shoah.
To be blunt, a large part of Obama’s ideas are Jewish and these ideas are precisely why the President and I find Bibi to be a disgusting Jew
An Israeli friend of mine, a friend who sees the Israeli turn to the far right as inevitable, sent me a depressing essay from the Tablet. In the essay, Rich Cohen says the stature of American jewery has fallen not because of Israel but because America itself is intrinsically anti semitic.
Cohen ignores the harm we Jews have done to our own brand. The way the Jewish community supports Israel is a huge part of the problem of loss of respect for our brand. The ties between American Jews and the Republican right are based on Christian dreams of Armageddon. How can a liberal, any liberal, support this? The alliance with American Christian fundamentalism has driven an inevitable wedge between Jews and our traditional, American liberal allies.
How can anyone watching the repugnant way the Republicans are treating 
Planned Parenthood not associate that with Sheldon Adelson’s backing of ogres like Cruz and Rubio? When Cohen bemoans Obama’s dislike of Netanyahu, why can’t Mr, Cohen see Bibi as I do? Bibi is a tea party extremist.
This Jewish effort to destroy our traditions is not limited to the right. We
Mandela and Slovo
show no pride in our achievements between 70 AD and 1948 CE. We raise children who are ignorant of the Nobel Prizes, the writers, the businessmen, the artists who have done do much to create what is best in the modern world.
the historic significance of Jack Lew, a man who is openly an observant Jew, as Secretary of the Treasury? Does Mr. Cohen understand the role that David Axelord and Rahm Emanuel played in Obama’s career? Obama’s closest allies are Jews and his kids attended a Jewish day care. Michelle’s first cousin, an African American, is a Jewish rabbi! To be blunt, a large part of Obama’s ideas are Jewish and these ideas are precisely why the President and I find Bibi to be a disgusting Jew.

If this feeling is based on facts? Only an American Jew may answer. If Obama with his botched foreign policy contributes to this situation? As an Israeli Jew that abhors Netanyahu and his government, I may say that we never felt in the last decades so much antagonism against Israel as from this Obama administration and never a such strong feeling of treason as in this Iran deal.
