Richard NEVER attacked Jewish leaders who support the Administration.<br /><br />Anon 3:20 - you, too, need to read more carefully. Richard went out of his way to keep his comments at the level they should be. <br /><br />Anon 3:47: Yikes! Richard has always said that he represents only himself, no one else. <br /><br />As an aside - although the LAJJ poll does show that the majority of American Jews support the Iran deal (as of today), there is another set of facts that, actually, should be more important: Not only the Israeli PM, but the OPPOSITION, and 78% of the Jewish Israeli public, and EVEN liberal and well respected Ari Shavit, are against the deal. <br /><br />This is THEIR lives we're talking about. It is more than absurd for us, in the diaspora, to think we know better than they do. As I said, it is THEIR lives at stake - we can do nothing less than support them. Anything less than that would be a shanda. <br /><br />Shabbat Shalom! <br />paul jesernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-12140400140723213272015-07-24T15:47:19.649-05:002015-07-24T15:47:19.649-05:00Richard:

Netanyahu? AIPAC? A minority of the American Jewish public? Richard, what is the practical effect of what you demand? A narrow-minded and exclusive leadership that ignores the American Jewish public and makes, in effect, a statement to the next generation that their voices and votes don’t count. <br />Are you sure you’re portraying the values we need in our system?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-37521146600634019402015-07-24T15:20:02.798-05:002015-07-24T15:20:02.798-05:00Is this what you intend to do now, Richard?
