We typically don't. The conservative synagogues in my hometown were really concerned about the Darfur genocide; hosting fundraisers and awareness campaigns. They all had signs out front that said "Never Again...in Darfur" but when it comes to Palestinians, the Boomers are just SO rabid.

You're right; the Jewish community should do better and all the American Jews who send money and make major political donations should demand more, especially given our history.
