Well, Ed, it could mean nothing, or it could point to the American Jewish community's long history of commitment to human rights, progressive politics, and democracy - dating back from before their involvement with the struggle of economically and racially marginalised African Americans during the Civil Rights era, and to the longstanding Jewish commitment to persecuted minorities arising from the Jewish experience of the pogroms and the Holocaust.
