Let me relate an incident from the 1970's.
Around 1976 or so William Kunstler visited the University of Toronto to attend a rally for the SDS (Students for a Democratic Society). The SDS were the radical, left-wing student opposition to the Vietnam war.
I attended.
The warmup speakers were a series of (I presume) Jewish students who rallied the crowd with lines like "We support all liberation movements in the world, except the PLO." and "We oppose the U.S. and all it's allies, except Israel."
Israeli particularism on display.
I think these guys went on to become neocons.
In defence of Americans, when I was a boy our family would go from Winnipeg down to Indiana every year to visit my mother's family. We liked to tell all the Indiana kids that in order to get home we had to go to Chicago and then take the dogsled north to Winnipeg. Great fun.
