As long as Israel was a liberal state, it was easy, even natural, for most American Jews to support it. There was no conflict between the head and the heart, between an emotional attachment to Israel and a political commitment to liberal causes.
只要以色列还是自由国家，那么对大部分美国犹太人来说，支持以色列就是十分自然的事情。不存在良心和理智之间的冲突，也不存在以色列归属感和自由政治承诺之间的冲突。
