Israel reaches out to save US Jewish community
Associated Press Published: 12.16.13, 21:07 / Israel News
...Jewish American leaders have known for years that assimilation and intermarriage were slowly shrinking their communities, but the early November gathering took on an extra sense of urgency. Just weeks earlier, a landmark study had found that young American Jews are growing increasingly estranged from Judaism.
As these efforts press ahead, they are being complicated by a new issue: What role can Israel play in Jewish American life at a time when many American Jews, who tend to be socially liberal, have misgivings about some of Israel's policies.
There is a broad consensus that Israel will be an important player in solving the problems of American Jewry. Yet experts say that it cannot ignore the alienation that many Americans feel over perceived religious intolerance, Israel's construction of West Bank settlements and the continued control over millions of Palestinians.
"An Israel which doesn't address these issues is an Israel which in the long run endangers the relationship with world Jewry,"

There are at least two posters that in the past have said the exact same thing, when they did they were immediatly attacked and called names. Anti-Semite was the most popular if I remember correctly, now that Y-Net news has published the same thing maybe people will take it more seriously. There was an old saying " and a Child shall lead them" seems to me that the American Jewish Children are leading but the Israeli Leaders do not want to follow.
