    As a pre-boomer, The shadow of the Holocaust is deeper than for younger Jewish generations. As Daniel Gordis outlined in WE STAND DIVIDED, American Jews and the State of Israel are not and have rarely been on the same path. We bask in the acceptance of an open multicultural society (for the most part), they seek the safety of a Jewish majority state. As much as I am upset and disheartened by the recent actions, I don’t feel as an American that I can demand Israel to conform to our wishes.
