Grassroots Jews Push Back Against Jewish Federations

My friend and colleague Jerry Gordon of the New English Review has written an article for Examiner.com critical of some major Jewish organizations for reasons explained in the link below. Many Jewish citizens around the country are coming to the conclusion that these organizations do not have the best interests of Israel at heart. I agree with that assessment.

I share in the shock that the Orange County Jewish Federation has given a reported $60,000 to the Olive Tree Initiative, a University of California venture infested with activists here and abroad in a myriad of organizations and "alternative travel agencies", who are fervently anti-Israel. I share in the resentment of Abe Foxman calling people in the anti-jihad movement bigots and denying any problem of anti-Semitism at UC-Irvine or other  universities. Shame on him.

Good for those Jews who are standing up and asking questions.

    Heck, they don't have the interests of the Jewish community at heart. They will learn that the "peons" are angry at them by their donations dropping off.

    Let those who are, or identify as, or have some claim to be, Jewish, fight this one out among themselves. Methodists have no business getting involved.

    I doubt that 51 percent of Jews could agree on what the correct line is anyway.
