Almost invariably when I go into an organized Jewish space consisting of people my generation and older I run away with despair. I see that the critique of Jewish nationalism-and-return that is gaining urgency among Jewish youth is not taking place here. The American awakening to Palestinian rights that I follow with such breathless anticipation isn’t registering here. The organized Jewish community is reactionary on a central human rights issue of our time, they might as well be leading white southerners in the 1950s.
