The very existence of the Jewish state is the problem in the eyes of these people | Zalman Shoval

Zalman Shoval argues that anti-Semitism is the fundamental cause of hostility toward Israel in the US, not the nature of the Israeli government. He cites an article from The Atlantic about the end of the 'golden age' of American Jewry and calls on Israel to urgently abolish institutional discrimination against the non-Zionist majority of American Jews.

Zalman Shoval, an Israeli diplomat and politician, analyzes in his article the decline in support for Israel in the US and the rising anti-Semitic wave. He argues that the fundamental cause of hostility is anti-Semitism, not the composition of the government in Israel. Shoval quotes Franklin Foer from The Atlantic, who wrote that 'the golden age of American Jews is over' and that the illiberal left and Trumpists threaten the consensus that Jews helped build. Shoval calls on Israel to urgently act to abolish institutional discrimination against the non-Zionist majority of American Jews and to strengthen ties with them as a vital interest.
