My mission since leaving my former faith has been to get other zionist Jews to understand the existential threat of letting the Christian Right define America’s relationship to Israel and the parameters of Jews’ relationship to Israel. I’m sad to be proven correct.

Make no mistake: he is laying claim to *Jewish liberation* itself and telling YOU, ME, AND OUR RABBIS which Jewish are “klal” and who is “chutz l’machane” based on Christian goals for eretz Israel. That’s what’s happening: stare it in the face.
From his appointment as ambassador Dermer nurtured and grew evangelical lobbying and gave them more access to Israeli officials. Israel cannot subordinate Jewish needs for the whims of Christian tourists, but that seems to have been the goal.
And anti-Zionists have a role to play: It appears that few people understand that the core of support for the worst outcomes we have seen in years isn’t driven by the Israeli flag at the synagogue down the street. It’s the one behind the megachurch pastor.
I’m all for the vigorous internal debate we have IRL and on #jtwitter, but you know who isn’t invited, CHRISTIANS!
I woke up and I’m still angry:
#Jtwitter has a repeated debate over whether converts must hue to the most extreme version of zionist dreams, what this non-Jew is saying is that HE should act as the קטגור complete with the power to condemn, not just for converts but for everyone.

The right wing discourse is filled with people (correctly) saying “jewish people can no longer live as dhimmi in the MENA”… Where you all at? Are you saying it’s OK as long as the rulers are western?
