Many whacks have been taken by now at Peter Beinart’s essay “The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment” including in this space (here’s Phil, here’s me), in which Beinart wrung his hands over young American Jews turning away from supporting the Jewish state (a wildly overstated premise, by the way). But Andy Ferguson’s devastating takedown of Beinart, tracing his career trajectory over more than a decade, cannot be improved upon. I won’t even excerpt it; it’s fairly short, so read the whole thing and enjoy.
