Posted in: FUNDERMENTALVISION: Bronfmans urge intermarriage outreach
It is true that Reform synagogues are way more open to non-Jews than the traditional ones. However, it is also true that most Jews raised in the Reform movement end up intermarrying and having non-Jewish children and grandchildren. This is nothing new and dates back to the assimilationist days of 19th-century German Jewry which gave birth to the Reform movement. Intermarriage as such is not the problem. The problem is the distancing from Jewish tradition that is practiced by the Reform movement, which has been causing the shrinking of the Jewish population all over the West. Other than that, the only reason why Adam Bronfman is heard on this subject is the boldness of his family. The AJC has never been an open, democratic institution. Therefore, it has never been really representative of American Jewry - not to mention its twin WJC, which has never represented world Jewry (the very idea is an absurdity).

Brzezinski is more than a first-rate antisemite. He has continuously been the master mind behind the US embrace of Islamic theocracy as a tool for dominating Asian nations and ultimately Russia since the 1980s. His defense of a "Palestinian state" bluntly contradicts a definitive, though little known, purely technical Pentagon study which proves that Israel is not defensible without Judea, Samaria and the Golan. Here is the Pentagon study: http://www.hirhome.com/israel/pentagon.pdf . Information is carefully filtered in the US, especially when it comes to its interests in Asia. US policy has been consistently anti-Israel and Brzezinski is a key actor in that policy.
