As a non-Jew, I'm curious about the inter-generational family dynamics at Jewish family functions. I get the feeling that energetic supporters of Bill Kristol are better received than their (would be) peace activist cousins.

It's probably difficult to stand up for peace without family support, and parents and grandparents are still experiencing the side effects of surviving the survivors.

 At least I hope it is a generational thing, like I hope the influence of race obsessed white men will fade from American politics.

So Jay, can you offer us any introspective analysis to explain your conclusion? What inhibits you from being a peace activist? Thanks for the review.
