Biden Sent to Israel... to Prevent Strike Against Iran

And who is on their way to Iran to prevent a strike against Israel? Hmm?

Israel Matzav

... Joe Biden is due to visit Israel within a month. He will become the highest ranking administration official to visit since the Obama administration took office. Biden will attempt to convince the Israeli government to hold off on a pre-emptive strike against Iran.

Do American Jews know these things?  Do they have any idea what's going on?

You ask if American Jews know these things. I'm not sure many of them want to know these things. It seems that many of our co-religionists have decided that "Ignorance is bliss" is the 614th commandment -- and the one that overrules all the others. Here in St. Louis, our local Jewish-Federation-published newspaper contains a plethora of froth, trivia, gossip, and chit-chat -- but virtually no sustained in-depth reporting on the Iranian threat to the continued existence of the Jewish people. This is a subject that should be hammered at again and again, in every issue every week, from every possible angle. And this should be done by every so-called "Jewish" paper in the country. My guess is that a survey of all the country's Jewish papers would find more articles -- over the last six months -- on how to make the perfect latke than on how to overcome the Iranian menace. This is willful ignorance -- a deliberate effort by a people once noted for its braininess to hear no evil and see no evil. We -- I speak here of American Jews -- are choosing brain-deadness over braininess. Why? I can only assume it's because -- in this case -- knowledge of the truth is simply too awful for many pampered American Jews to live with. That odious man T. S. Eliot was wrong about a great many things, but he was right about one: "Human kind," he wrote, "cannot bear very much reality." Too many Jews cannot bear the reality that a man like Ahmadinejad may soon have at his fingertips -- literally -- the ability to extinguish the entire nation of Israel. Better to focus on making the perfect latke.
