You can criticize anyone in America. That does not mean that every journalist in America is intelligent or knows where Ukraine is. Jews are not immune. Just read the article below from the NY Times about Hassidic Jewish influence in Albany, the state capital of New York. It appears in the New York Times today which many Jews consider unfriendly to Jews even though it is owned by a Jewish family.
Criticism has to be intelligent and based on facts.
There has been much criticism of Israel both within that country and outside. I challenge you to find such articles in the Ukrainian American press. Progressive or socialist thinking in America does not mean that it is communistic. You have to learn not to generalize. Andrew Tkacz is perhaps the leading Ukrainian American journalist.
