Countervailing Trends in American Jewry: An Interview with Norman Podhoretz
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Manfred Gerstenfeld - American Jewry remains stubbornly liberal despite realignments and evidence that neither the friends nor the enemies of yesterday have the same attitudes today. Like most non-Jewish liberals, the majority of American Jews were against the war in Iraq.

Anyone who truly cares about the Holocaust and wants to avert another one has to be absolutely firm about the safety and security of Israel.
