It's a problem for enlightened American Jews, admittedly. There's at least one example on this board (I won't name him since I'm not 100% certain). He's liberal, decent, very well informed -- certainly no redneck. And he can see both sides of the Palestine issue. But he just can't quite free himself of that tribal allegiance, and ends up being lopsidedly pro-Israel, meaning that he somehow always finds a way of justifying Israeli conduct, or at least throwing up his hands and blaming it all on the Arabs.
I can see why it isn't easy.
