  • Can Israel Survive 4 Another 60 years?

    You forget nother ''categories'' of Jewish people who don't care...or wish they didn't have to..... Israel is, after all, a FOREIGN COUNTRY, if one does not live there. I know, I know....everyone in the USA has an ''old country''....so why not be proud of Israel being your ''old country'' if you are Jewish? One good reason is, there is no other ...

    I was surprised to see Slate's deputy editor David Plotz asserting as fact (rather than a hotly disputed topic of controversy) that ''Essenes wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls.''

  • Re: "Rally for him now" article by Melissa Harris Lacewell

    Nope, you are wrong sly! He lived in Indonesia, but then his family moved to Hawaii where he went to a exclusive boarding school (like Hawaii's Andover). He says the Pledge for every Senate session, proudly facing the flag. I think you have him confused with Keith Ellison a black Muslim who was swore into Congress with his hand on a Koran. ...
