If I Am Not for Myself-

The Jews have traditionally been adherents of liberalism, believing that it conforms to their interests. Yet, in the 20th century, liberal states and forces failed to defend the Jews against antisemitism. Now, liberals are disposed to associate with anti-Jewish forces; e.g. most liberals support the Arabs in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The attitude of the liberals to the Jews is dictated by considerations of expediency: it is easier to resent the Jews than to oppose antisemites. The Western world supported Israel in 1948-75, when it was victorious and fulfilled important functions; now it is likely to demonize Israel. Many Jews in the world unconsciously feel that it is dangerous to support Israel because that means calling down the wrath of non-Jewish liberals upon their heads, and some Jews believe that Israel provokes antisemitism rather than protects Jews from it. The Jewish adherence to liberalism has become anachronistic and leads only to a new kind of Jewish self-hatred.
