Peter Dreier:

The Jewish establishment in the US can’t face the fact that many American Jews (especially those under 30), and many Americans in general, are highly critical of Israel, don’t think of themselves as Zionists or support Zionism, and think the US shouldn’t provide military aid to Israel so long as it continues to inflict atrocities in Gaza and illegal occupy Arab areas. Even those who have some sympathy for a Jewish state are alienated from groups like ADL and AIPAC.

Young Jews are not joining or donating to established Jewish organizations, including synagogues and Jewish community centers, at the same rate as earlier generations. But the Jewish establishment groups, like local federations, seem blind to these realities, according to this article originally published in Ha-aretz, the liberal Israeli newspaper.
