[I've been writing about this phenomenon for quite some time. Liberal-left Jews here want more influence in Israel. After all, they sense Israel is fast-becoming the Supreme Court for all matters Jewish and they fear it will ultimately rule against them. Hey, no one wants to have their membership in the club revoked.
But the Jewish establishment here faces a counter trend which has only increased during the Obama years. The more the "progressive" position keeps lurching to the left, the more their estrangement from a politically maturing Jewish state increases. Unfortunately for them, their misguided ideology is tied to their ersatz theology. They've hitched their wagon to the wrong star.
This gulf is only getting wider and the Jewish Left in America has no way to stop it - short of ditching their reactionary world view. And that would take a miracle. df]
