It seems he would prefer some liberal Zionists not be part of the community at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A post is doing the rounds, from a right-wing Zionist offering a $100,000 donation to J Street and/or Peter Beinart "to speak to Arabs [in Arab countries] as they do to the Jewish community." It's much less a contribution to the debate than grandstanding and mudslinging. I offered this response to a friend, and post it here, too.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, The Dictator is inflammatory and obscene. Yes, some of Sacha Baron Cohen's work mimics antisemitism at times; but it's a parody for crying out loud! It's meant to be funny and to take the piss out of real antisemites. How is it that the ADL can have a problem with this, but not with the Producers? ]]></description>
