As a veteran pro-Israel college activist, I have had the concept of US-Israel "shared values" etched into my bones from a young age. So many articles have been written, speeches given, and conferences attended all of which were intended to prove that the US-Israel relationship is based on shared values- equality, religious liberty and western democracy. For such a seemingly simple, intuitive point, its a wonder why the pro-Israel Jewish organizational world has focused so consistently and relentlessly on this message. One must ponder the question, who exactly is the Jewish establishment trying to convince: the American people or the American Jew?
American politicians seeking reelection are more interested in financial support than cozy messages. The American public is smart and discerning- they also aren't interested in lofty ideals like "shared values"- if they get a good return on investment by aiding Israel, you can count them in, but if they stand to lose- whether financially,politically or militarily, shared values are meaningless.
From a simple cursory glance, it seems that when we preach of US-Israel shared values, we are convincing no one other than ourselves. But why would American Jews put in so much effort to convince ourselves that by helping Israel, America is acting out of commitment to promoting shared democratic values? READ MORE
