Your "Transfer is the answer" just confirms it. You should really keep your opinions for your friends in the neighborhood bar, or the shul in the next street. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 @Ari H, : In the case of Larry Franklin, as in the case of Weissman and Rosen, not the leniency is indefensible, but the original charges. Neither AIPAC nor any other lobby was involved in the defense of those 3 men. AIPAC made the great and indefensible error to fire Rosen and Weissman, just to defend itself from charges of inpropriety. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 @ Rachel : Can you please give me the source of your information, Jews "called for a freeze on the reproduction of Arabs in Israel" ? That's of course a brazen anti-Semitic lie. It seems you have first class connections with "nazi racist totalitarianism". 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Whoever is speaking about "there types of actions" and about "cycle of violence" represents the Jews exactly as the members of the "Judenrats" in the Ghettos of Nazi occupied Poland. J Street and the rest of the "Peaceniks" are a catastrophe for the American Jewry. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 These quartet of liberal groups is in the same way "pro-Israel" as members of the "Judenrats" in the Ghettos of Nazi-occupied Poland were "pro-Jewish". Those are self-hating Jewish enemies of Israel and so are those who support them, politically or financially. JTA would do Jewish community a favor by ignoring them, 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
