Finally: Mainstream Media Cover Jewish Establishment Failure

New York Post: “Is America’s Jewish leadership failing American Jews?”

The Sunday feature article in the New York Post revealed what so many Jews have long known: that the organizations that Jews fund to protect and defend their communities have failed drastically.

Worse, the strategies adopted and promoted by the ADL, AJC, Federations, and Jewish Community Relations Councils actually led Jews into the dark corner in which they now find themselves. They told us to cling to a left taken over decades ago by anti-Israel “progressives,” and now a rapidly growing number of Jewish innocents pay the price of their betrayal.

The article, written by Kathryn Wolf, gave Jewish activists who have been complaining about and challenging the establishment their first real opportunity to break out into the open with their damning analyses.

Comments from Alan Dershowitz, the ZOA’s Mort Klein, Shabbos Kestenbaum, California State Prosecutor Rick Moskowitz, and many other first-hand witnesses — Charles Jacobs and Avi Goldwasser included — make this clear.

With the atrocities of the past two weeks in mind especially, there needs to be much more pressure on the establishment — and much more grass-roots activism doing what our “leaders” are not.

Stay tuned.
