Jews left-wing dilemma

Armchair Punditcy
Tuesday I commented on the unusual alliances some American Jews find themselves in as a result of their knee-jerk Bush hatred [The Party of Hate, Part 151].  Today Jennifer Siegel [Bloggers Offer Unusual Take On Raging Conflict: Silence] touches on the same subject.
''[Liberal blogger Josh Marshall of TalkingPointsMemo.com] who was raised in a secular Jewish home and considers himself "in some ways a critic of Israel, but still a Zionist and a supporter of Israel" — said he is uncomfortable with the strange bedfellows he sometimes wins by raising concerns about Israel's conduct... In the past week, most of the vitriolic responses have come from critics of Israel.''

Perhaps because his bloviations have been criticized as antisemitic,  ''Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, briefly addressed the topic Monday on his eponymous Web site DailyKos.com, in a post titled 'Why I won't write about the Israel/ Lebanon/ Palestine fighting.'" 

Fascinating. Hiss.
