Beck In Reality
July 28, 2006 at 1:38 pm
After CNN’s Glenn Beck last night gave a comical national platform to fringe Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Jews Against Zionism, it was refreshing to read this in today’s New York Times about American Jews and the war:
Any criticism of Israel is “very marginal,” said William Daroff, vice president of public policy for United Jewish Communities, an umbrella organization of 155 Jewish federations in the United States. Mr. Daroff said he had also found an astounding degree of consensus among American politicians.
Last week he helped organize a Washington lobbying blitz by more than 40 Jewish leaders who, he said, spent the day essentially expressing their thanks to officials in the White House and the State Department and on Capitol Hill.
“From Nancy Pelosi on the liberal wing of the Democratic Party to Rick Santorum on the conservative wing of the Republican Party, I have literally heard unanimous approval and support for Israel’s right to defend itself,” Mr. Daroff said.
