Dennis Prager writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Why aren\u2019t most American Jews troubled by the Times\u2019 cartoon? Why were all American Jews horrified by the anti-Semitic shootings at the California synagogue this past weekend, while most barely had their feathers ruffled by the anti-Semitic cartoon in one of the most influential media in America?<\/p>\n

The answer is most American Jews, while ethnically Jewish, are ethically leftist. And ethics trump ethnicity \u2014 as they should. For most American Jews, therefore, the Times is far more consonant with their ethical values than are Jewish values (if, by Jewish values, we are talking about the Torah and traditional Jewish religious\/moral teachings). So, then, when you combine hatred of the right-wing prime minister of Israel and reverence for the left-wing Times, even a Nazi-like cartoon \u2014 if it negatively depicts Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump and is published in The New York Times \u2014 is no big deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
