Zionism has emptied' out Judaism as critical mass' of US Jews breaks with Israel
www.middleeastmonitor.com
... Opposition to Israel is hardening into anti-Zionism among a growing number of US Jews, according to Jewish Currents editor Arielle Angel. Speaking to Haaretz, Angel said that a "critical mass" of American Jews is now "disgusted with Israel" and no longer sees Zionism as central to Jewish life.
Angel went on to claim that attachment to Israel among this section of American Jewry is "waning, if not evaporated". She described the shift as a profound political and moral break with the Israeli state.
Angel, who defines herself as anti-Zionist, said the shift goes far beyond criticism of Israeli policy. She described a growing constituency of Jews in the US who see Israel as an apartheid state, believe it is committing genocide, and are turning away from the institutions that made loyalty to Israel the organising principle of Jewish communal life. ...
OpEd: Trump Turbocharges U.S. Economic Comeback As Socialism Keeps Failing Worldwide
www.heritage.org
... Lower taxes and fewer, fairer regulations have always boosted dynamism, incentivized entrepreneurship and sharpened America's competitive edge.
Around the world, nations stand at a crossroads. Whether they choose the path of Donald Trump is doing in the United States -- or socialism will determine not only their material prosperity, but the security and flourishing of their people.
That's the core finding of the Heritage Foundation's just-released "2026 Index of Economic Freedom." Pro-growth policies are an investment in the people who make nations strong, resilient and prosperous.
That is certainly the approach President Trump took in 2025. Setting the stage for America's comeback and paving the way for greater economic dynamism, his policy choices arrested the precipitous decline of America's economic freedom. America's Index score for President Joe Biden's final year in office was its lowest ever. ...
@#2 ... Is this really surprising? ...
In a word ... no.
Hungary's PM Orban seems to be controlled by Pres Putin even more so than Pres Trump.
i.e., fighting more for the interests of Russia than the EU.
Which is why the upcoming election will be interesting to watch.

Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1]
Down to the earth
I fell with dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
That's why I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
[Chorus]
I feel so light
This is all I wanna feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life
[Verse 2]
Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me
...
Interesting tune ...
