Jewish communities' historical alliance with the Civil Rights movement faces mounting challenges as black power rises in American cities. Despite good intentions, Jewish organizational responses have often stemmed from self-interest rather than genuine solidarity, creating vulnerabilities as racial politics evolve. Through historical analysis and political observation focused on organizational behavior patterns rather than formal policy, this research reveals deep tensions emerging from Jewish metropolitan influence colliding with ascendant black political power. These tensions manifest through anti-Semitism rooted in Christian fundamentalism and conspiracy theories, while Jewish commercial presence in black neighborhoods—though economically minimal—attracts disproportionate resentment. The evidence suggests American Jews occupy a precarious position between an increasingly assertive Christian minority and the dominant Christian majority. To navigate this classical dilemma, Jewish communities must pursue strategic accommodation with black power while maintaining dignity, gradually disengaging from ghetto commerce and prioritizing direct negotiation over wholesale withdrawal from civil rights advocacy.
