“The right wing extremist strains of Israeli Judaism are threatening to turn that ignition into a conflagration.” That quote comes from Rabbi Joshua Hammerman, the same Rabbi now being widely quoted for his bizarre Tim Tebow column. Or rather there are numerous articles quoting the column without mentioning his name or who he is. […]
Occupy Wall Street had a viable message at the start-up of their campaign, though their complaints should have focused more on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, where the feeders off Wall Street fatten their political wallets.
