Gary Wexler levels the charges that Americans for Peace Now (APN), along with other organizations associated with American Jewish liberals, are obsolete. He writes that
we are ignoring the \”real\” threats facing Israel such as those emanating from Syria and Iran, that we are out of touch with the mainstream for questioning the efficacy of Israel\’s current military actions in Lebanon and Gaza, that we are wrong to believe a peace partner exists on the other side and that our \”knee-jerk\” reactions and inability to recognize and react to the redefining of American Jewish support for Israel will prove to be our ultimate downfall.
