  1. Regarding the Arafat discussion of a few days ago… If the Jewish community is going to fixate on kicking out a regional leader who is a barrier to peace, a cause of terror, runs his gov’t like a mafioso, foments violence, and impoverishes his own people, let’s focus on our own leader. The US Jewish community needs to step up and help get rid of Sharon and his ilk. Perhaps by doing so, we will give moderate Palestinians the will and ability to get rid of their own violent, bitter, corrupt old man… But let’s do ours first. We are the ones with power at this moment in time. We should lead. Tikkun Olam!

  3. Not a bad article, although Dazed and Confused was not number one at the box office and it takes place during the seventies.

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
