Ron Rosenbaum vs. Hannah Arendt

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Oct 30 2009, 2:32 PM ET Comment

Not much of a contest. I found this last comment extremely relevant:
One can still hear this Arendtian shame about ethnicity these days. So parochial! One can hear the echo of Arendt's fear of being judged as "merely Jewish" in some, not all, of those Jews so eager to dissociate themselves from the parochial concerns of other Jews for Israel. The desire for universalist approval makes them so disdainful of any "ethnic" fellow feeling. After all, to such unfettered spirits, it's so banal.
