With the formation of Israel’s most far-right government, American Jews can no longer defend Jerusalem as they have for the last seven decades. And many may choose not to.
I wish that more Israeli voters and other influencers had thought ahead to the consequences before the election. We are in dangerous times that are not improving.
About 40 yrs ago there was a Dry Bones cartoon that listed things Israel didn't need to worry about, including: volcanic eruption; alienating allies (there are none); how to cope with a large immigration from Russia. Since that time archeological evidence has shown the Sodom was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, the 1990s led to massive aliyah from Russia, and now Israel is alienating its allies.
