Comments on: NYT Columnist Sees Reality of Jewish Power http://blog.z-word.com/2010/08/nyt-columnist-sees-reality-of-jewish-power/ Commentary about Zionism, anti-Zionism, antisemitism and the conflict in the Middle East Thu, 24 May 2012 04:46:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5-RC1.1 By: Bella Center http://blog.z-word.com/2010/08/nyt-columnist-sees-reality-of-jewish-power/#comment-14862 Bella Center Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:44:20 +0000 http://blog.z-word.com/?p=1705#comment-14862 The tone of the article does not trouble me as much as the avalanche of 'Jews have a disproportionate voice in American politics'comments it unleashed. Also troubling is the number of opinion pieces NYT has published lately, that, again, are not necessarily disturbing in themselves -- see "The Lede" article about Wikepedia and Israel -- but that supply a platform for anti-Zionist trolls. One can't help but wonder if NYT is purposefully sending up trial balloons in order to shift public opinion.

Of course as we all know, anyone who disagrees with Obama is racist. The other problem with this sort of argument is that the vast majority of Jews in the US vote democrat and always have.

Blow isn't making any suggestions that there's something wrong with Jewish influence on American elections - he's pointing out that in certain states (like Florida), winning or losing the Jewish community can really influence the result of an election (for example, Obama running for reelection).
