I don't like agreeing with that piece on second-class Jews either, but I sure do agree with it.

The other day I was having one of those "if you had to flee the U.S., where would you go" conversations and noted that being Jewish gives me Israeli citizenship if I want it. The person I was speaking with (also Jewish and American) said, "But would that really be better than being in the U.S.?" And I had to say, "Probably not." I can't shake the feeling of they don't want my kind there—which is exactly the feeling that the State of Israel is supposed to mean Jews don't feel anymore!
