A few profs write a book about the Jewish lobby and it raises a firestorm of controversy.
Something tells me that, if someone wrote a similar tomb about the Gay Lobby it would be dead on arrival, in terms of being provocative.
Yet, someone just noted (bloggernista, I think) that there is about a 2%-4% Jewish population in the US, which is more or less the size of the gay population, on some estimates. And, G-d knows, gay people are avid voters.
So how is it that one group constantly gets criticized for too much influence, while another cannot seem to figure out how to get out the door? (hint: it's not the closet any more)
Meanwhile, Israel moves a step closer to becoming part of the problem, rather than a partner for solution seeking.
