Campaigning with innuendo and racism is wrong, no matter who’s doing it, and Jews ought to be the first to say so.

I just discovered your blog, and glad I did. My mind had been penetrated with maintream and middle-of-the-road (even somewhat liberal) news media that the Jewish Community mistrusted Obama's potential Middle East policy.

And one of the reasons for that is small-yet-effective spin stories that can bias us without us even knowing much behind the issue. Rabbi. I just discovered your blog, and glad I did.
