Dershowitz, HaLevi, and the JDL

I once had a professor who pointed out, very persuasively, that, contrary to what most Americans believe, Jews aren't especially liberal. For much of Jewish history, Jews have aligned themselves with (or been consigned to) politically conservative movements. Sure, Jews were considered International Communist conspirators in Germany, but the Soviety Union persecuted them as capitalist reactionaries. Jews are whatever antisemites aren't. Simple as that. It's why American Jews are moving to the right, and the ADL is moving with us.

But you need to read it in context.
