"It is long past time for American politicians to quit carrying water for the state of Israel and its powerful U.S. lobby. Congress' craven obedience to the lobby is a disgrace. . ."

noted, a disgrace is no US president will get in without supporting the Israel lobby and the billions they give each year while palistine is wiped out and people turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing, US resolustions video by the US and Israel over and over again and Zionism worldwide

Don’t Know Much About History: Jewish Radicalism

Anti-Zionism Is Not Anti-Semitism The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a bitter political struggle. The issues are complex, passions are inflamed, and the suffering is great. In such circumstances, people on both sides are liable to be partisan and to "cross the line from fair to foul".

America's Jewish Left

An informal historical primer from the Jewbiquitous blog.

The United States has witnessed four phases of Jewish radicalism:

(1) 1914-1936 saw the heyday of Jewish socialism, especially in labor unions (e.g., International Ladies Garment Workers Union)

(2)1936-1956 The Old Left, born in Popular Front against Hitler, reflected an image of Jewish romance with the Soviet Union. The Soviet alliance with Hitler hurt Jewish ties to socialism, but did not break them. Cracks in Jewish involvement began in earnest when Stalinist mistreatment was revealed and the Rosenbergs, icons of Old Left, were executed. The Old Left faded away (effectively died) with the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956.

(3) 1960-70 The New Left appears sharply, although it has roots in the Old Left. Its expression is the anti-war movement and the rebellions on college campuses, but it dies a quick and ignominious death with the extremism of the Weathermen (1970), who express their radicalism through blowing up buildings. For the next ten years, the Left hibernates.

(4) 1980-2000 Tikkun Magazine, first published in 1987, the Shalom Center in Philadelphia, and the Nuclear Freeze Movement in the 1980s all reflect a broader Jewish agenda in leftwing causes.
