You say:
"Not to excuse the behavior of those in the video, I don`t believe this idiocy reflects the values of young American Jews or their opinions on Obama, but rather the way that Israel, in particular Jerusalem, can radicalize the young to the left or the right."
But that`s exactly the point of the video! *Max Blumenthal* has nothing invested in making Jewish people look bad -- I`d assume he`s Jewish himself. And it`s common knowledge that Jewish people voted overwhelmingly for Obama.
But what the video *is* intended to do is to demonstrate how the environment and the topic of Israel brings out chosenism, ethno-centrism, and racism among people we`d expect to be less hateful. And I think it accomplishes that goal pretty well. |
