Since California is home to 1 million Jews, and since the California economy drives the national economy, and since California's 33rd Governor, Ronald Reagan, because the beloved 40th President of the United States, it does make sense to include some Jewish politics and general coverage of our Golden State. I am a loyal JTA reader, and so invite comments and dialogue on Jewish politics at my facebook page, which links my media appearances. Hope to see many of you at my lectures around the country.

Gary was a good friend and mentor. We happened to agree with warm friendship on 2 major issues: Kindness to Christians who are pro Israel, and strong support for counter-terrorism and counter-Jihadi activity. Gary was right about welcoming new friends to the Jewish community, and understanding Jewish enemies are now mostly on the left and Radical Islam, not the right and Christianity. His work on leftist anti Semitism and anti Zionism and anti Americanism on college campuses is a powerful resource that I encourage all to study. Gary will be deeply missed as a brave Jewish thinker, wise community leader, and supportive friend. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Did Rabbi Waskow just describe the film Obsession, which makes clear its concerns are about all victims, (including Muslim victims) of radical Islam, a " vile attack on all Islam?" Do you have to have any common sense or intelligence to be a Rabbi ? Did the good RABBI condemn the fraudulent Israelis for Obama video, which Israeli Generals had to come out and dispute, as they did not endorse Obama? Did he condemn Rep. Robert Wexler, who purposefly smeared Gov Palin as a supporter of Buchanan, when she adores Israel and endorsed Steve Forbes? Does the Rabbi condemn the hate speech of Dennis Ross, who compared Jewish Republicans to Arafat ? Or MJ Rosenberg, who lied and claimed the RJC engaged in Race Mongering and called Obama a Muslim Terrorist ? Take the far left wing bias elsewhere, Rabbi. Shame on you. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
