This Day in Jewish History

 

 



Israel and world Jewry: Are the bonds breaking?
For years, Jewish leaders and Israeli envoys throughout the Diaspora have monitored what some believe to be a growing distance between Jews abroad and the State of Israel.
In 1967 and 1973, world Jewry rallied with near-consensus to the side of an embattled Israel.
But the 1982 Lebanon War and the Palestinian uprisings have raised new, more complex moral issues, and many Jews abroad have reacted with ambivalence or have recoiled from identification with Israel.
Some have blamed the alienation from Israel on more general trends, primarily assimilation. Others lay the responsibility on the policies of Israel itself.
Still others see ambivalence toward Israel as a symptom of the atomization of all Jewry along lines of religious denomination, or exclusive identification with Israel's "peace camp" or "national camp."
Is it fair to conclude that identification with and support for Israel is on the decline among Jews abroad? Is alienation from Israel a trend that it likely to continue? What can Israel do to reverse this alienation?

Analysis / Many Diaspora Jews fear for the future
By Daniel Ben Simon, Haaretz Correspondent
Sharp divisions Those who worry about the low point Israel has reached in global public opinion are sharply divided over the reasons for it. Is opposition to Israel rooted in its military policy toward the Palestinians, or has anti-Semitism awoken after a long hibernation? As time passes and the negative attitude toward Israel intensifies, many Jews are beginning to feel that these sentiments are more anti-Semitic than anti-Israeli.
