I've been reading some old stuff by Leon Wieseltier and came across an interesting passage in a 2003 piece he wrote criticizing Edward Said's Freud and the Non-European:
"Jews are not Europeans and they are not non-Europeans. They are Jews, an autonomous people with an autonomous history that has directed them, in different times and in different places, against their will and according to their will, toward certain peoples and away from certain peoples."
