Does Israel have a problem with American Jews?
Dec 2nd, 2011 | 3 responses
Oh, Benny, Benny, Benny: Benjamin Netanyahu’s government unveils an ad campaign urging expats to come home, and some Jews in the U.S. find the message insulting. DETAILS HERE.
It sounds like B. N. is making the same mistake people often do with groups: not all ethnic groups — not even his own — are monolithic. And some are offended when its assumed in a highly public way that they are.

Jews are “ex-pats”?
1.7% of the American population are Jews holding United States passports. They are not “ex-pats”. Maybe in Israel, but not here.
This is the strangest comment to date from that yahhoo over there. I expect he is like an iceberg, with 90% of his anti-Christian bigotry being out of sight.
I know lots of Jewish Americans that are NOT happy with Israel.
Wow, Allen, you’re batting a thousand today with the highly offensive comments.
