As a result of the financial crisis in the US, writes Isabel Kershner, "Israel...has been forced once again to confront its dependance on American donors' largess."
Jewish institutions in Israel have been dependent on the assistance of Jews outside of Israel since before the founding of the State in 1948. Surely greater economic support from Israelis would be good for the nonprofit sector in the Jewish state but to suggest that the economic relationship between Jews in the US and Jews in Israel is flawed is hypercritical. This opinion sounds like an outcome of a dogma that look askance, in general, at financial ties between American Jews and Israel.
