The Jewish Daily Forward, along with the israeli paper Haaretz, is pretty good reading.
You can get the Forward on the web. (For EO, go to google, type in Jewish Daily Foward, push enter., Read. Think. Try to avoid forming conclusions before reading.)
The US state department sponsored a project to study Palestinian text books in the schools to see if they spread hatred of Jews.
The study group consisted of 17 scholars representing universities in the US and Israel. The scholars were both Jewish (mostly Israeli) and Moslem.
I Ieft a message some hours ago on global affairs concernting a Jewish response to the UC statement on settlements.
It's by an old friend of mine, a devout Jew and a Zionist. He been, most of his life, a leader in the Jewish community both in Montreal and across Canada. He's also co-chair of Peace Now.
It's worth reading - but seems not to have attracted attention in World Affairs. To get it, just go to google, type in The Mark News. Then look for the name of Stephen Scheinberg.
