Rob Eshman, editor-in-chief of the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, suggests in this week’s editorial that Israel should maintain the bedrock of shared values with the United States in order avoid “quickly put[ting] Israel at odds with the administration of Barack Obama.” He adds: “For 61 years, Israel’s sales pitch to American Jews, and, but extension, to all Americans, can be summed up in two words: We’re you. Israel stands for the American ideals of democracy, peace, coexistence and justice.”
