NYT today on US Jewish divisions over Iran:

Jeremy Ben-Ami, the president of J Street, a Jewish political advocacy group that backs the Iran deal, spoke of a fundamental break between Democratic Party leaders inclined toward diplomacy and the worldview of a conservative Israeli government that has more in common with Dick Cheney than the former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. That will not change even if congressional efforts to kill the accord fail, Mr. Ben-Ami said.

"This is a clash of epic proportions reflecting fundamentally different worldviews," he said. "You can't paper over that difference anymore."

Mondoweiss on NYT and merits inherent in this fracturing of Jewish thought:
