Netanyahu has been trying to stop foreign-funded NGOs from helping the Palestinian cause; he's sensed George Soros's presence behind many of them. And now, he's guessing that Soros also has a hand in the legal moves being made against him and his family - eg, his wife is about to be prosecuted.

These legal avenues may bring Netanyahu's career to an end. That's why his son published this cartoon.

This is a new element in the historic relationship between Israel and the largest Jewish Diaspora: Contempt is now mutual. It flows both ways. Israelis have traditionally viewed American Jews as spoiled naïfs but American Jews worshipped Israel, first as Jewish miracle, then as military wonder and then as resilient Start-up Nation. It is only now, under the shadows of Donald Trump and under the influence of Netanyahu's shock decision to renege on the Kotel deal, that mainstream American Jews have stopped denying what they've been sensing for the past few years:

That Israel has gone off the rails; that it no longer reflects values that American Jews can identify with; that most of its leaders and lawmakers are uncouth and often ignorant oafs; that it sometimes seems to be run by fundamentalist fanatics who are just as zealous than those in Riyadh and Tehran; and that it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between Israel and other anti-liberal right-wing governments and movements, from the alt-right to Eastern Europe, where the younger Netanyahu's cartoon featuring George Soros, lizard beings, freemasons and Jews mesmerized by money could surely win first prize in a contest of anti-Semitic cartoons.

The disdain for Netanyahu and his policies, once suppressed, emerges not only in conversations with anti-occupation American liberals but with moderates and some right-wingers as well. Many of these people may have felt uncomfortable with Israel in the past, but their criticism was specific and local and mostly kept to themselves. Now, their disdain is vocal and general. For someone who has been listening to American Jews for over four decades, the change is palpable. Contempt, once understated, is now clear and unequivocal.

Not all American Jews detest Trump, of course. Some, especially among the ultra-Orthodox, would willingly vote for him again. But for many American Jews, Trump is the stuff of which their worst nightmares are made. Not only is he dangerous, he is an embarrassment. His behavior, morals and decency are deplorable, but he is the President with which Israel and its elected leaders identify and support. Not Barack Obama, who they denigrated no end, but Donald Trump, who they greeted as the messiah. The fact that Trump is more popular in Israel than in any other country in the world is another, major-league shonda for the goyim as far as American Jews are concerned.

And all this, without a word about the occupation, land confiscations, price tag operations and the increasingly clear signals sent by Netanyahu that he has no intention of even trying to reach a peace deal with the Palestinians. American Jews may realize that some if not most of the troubling phenomena that they object to in Israel stem from the occupation and they are bewildered by Israel's passivity in peacemaking, but the occupation does not seem to be foremost on their minds, as it isn't on the minds of most Israelis. The problem isn't with the occupation, stupid, it's with Israel itself.

Many American Jews may not be following the Yair Netanyahu cartoon controversy, but those who are realize there's something fatally flawed in a country in which the prime minister's son posts cartoons that David Duke admires, and hardly anyone on the right speaks out in protest. They understand that the cartoon is not an isolated incident but a direct extension of his father's attitudes and policies, which buttress nationalistic leaders and incite against leftists and liberals like themselves. If it weren't Netanyahu, American Jews would describe many of his attacks as anti-Semitic in and of themselves. American Jewish leaders would organize protests. They would write their Congress members to protest.

An Israeli leader and his son adopting the anti-liberal, anti-globalist and anti-Jewish worldview of right-wing nationalists is one more symptom of an Israel that has become, in some respects, a darkness unto the nations. American Jews, some of whom have devoted their lives to the wellbeing of the Jewish state, will look at you with sad eyes and shrug. So it's come to this, they say.
