Abstract:
Our response to Beinart and others who share his view of a profound and
growing schism between liberal American Jews and establishment advocacy
organizations is not based on political differences. Rather, our concern is that
he and others have allowed their own political allegiances to color their
interpretation of the views of the broader American Jewish public. In so doing,
they give a distorted impression of American Jewish opinion and overlook
important developments in the relationship of American Jews to Israel.
