[Lately, we've started seeing headlines like those below in the Jewish media. No doubt these stories are a reflection of reality. Obama's inability to control his hostility toward Israel and its prime minister has finally struck a discordant note in the hearts of some liberal Jews who don’t like what they saw after Obama's unprecedented anti-Israel tirade. In the back of their minds (or in the pit of their stomachs) they see a reminiscence of the official Jew-hatred that engulfed European Jewry in the 1930s 1nd 1940s.
But as welcome as their awakening is, I don't expect it will have a lasting effect. Whoever emerges as the Democrat's presidential candidate in 2016 will not carry the baggage (or fear factor) of BHO, and the old liberal Jewish agenda will be back intact and back in force. Denial, habit and intellectual laziness are still strong characteristics of way too many American Jews. The next Democratic nominee – whoever it is - will give them the cover and the rationale to revert to type. df]
