Right.
We're responsible for our politics.
And as American Jews, we're responsible for the American Jewish community.
And I think in all three of those arenas, in policy, politics, and the Jewish community, we are misrepresented by the
mainstream organizations of the American Jewish community that lobby for things that are not in the long run good for Israel, that are interfering in American politics in ways that are bad for American democracy, and that are blowing up the American Jewish community and driving young people away from their communities rather than bringing them in.
So all the work that we do is here.
