A well-argued op-ed from Saturday's New York Times by Ami Eden, the national editor at the Forward, who speaks a hard truth about how Jews are perceived around the world.
As a non-practicing, agnostic but conscious Jew (and contributor to the Forward), I often cringe when the Anti-Defamation League chimes in after any perceived insult. The Jews of 2005 are not the same disenfranchised lot of WWII, and I understand the value behind the exhortation to "never forget" the inhumanity visited upon God's "chosen people." But it's one thing to educate and remind the world of a great atrocity and quite another to beat people over the heads with it. Especially in a world infected with delusions of a Jewish cabbal at the heart of everything bad that happens.
I think it's time work on a new PR campaign, is all.
