Dr. Pipes has it right except for.....

As usual Daniel Pipes' comments are predominantly correct, especially when he outlines the four major shifts that have and are taking place in the evolution of anti-semitism.

It's also hard not to agree with his remarks concerning the ominous futures looming for Israel and European Jewry.

Where I would differ is with his assertion that "the Golden Age of American Jewry is ending", a trend he largely attributes to Leftist support for the Islamist surge. While I agree that this is certainly occurring in academia, the entertainment industry and some of the mainstream media, I would argue that there is enough center-right sentiment in the U.S. to act as a countervailing force. This is not only true in our general population but especially in the current Congressional makeup as well as having a President who knows right from wrong.

I can only hope that on this aspect I'm right and Dr. Pipes is wrong.
