So a secular publication invokes a religious tribal understanding of community so as to cast out Judis's criticism of Zionism (as a bigoted ideology that ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and gained immunity for those acts by bribing American politicians). In the NYRB's view, Jeffrey Goldberg is a wise son because he stands inside the Zionist circle. Imagine a Muslim writer for the NYRB quoting sura's from the Koran to recruit me in an Islamist ideology-- that would never happen.
I agree with Freedland that Jews are the ballgame; but forget about the wise son / wicked son crap. Jews of conscience must organize with one foot inside the Jewish community and one foot outside it. That is the only way to move the Jewish establishment, and America. Jewish Voice for Peace: a rally against the massacre, today in NY:
