'Footnote'

MLK - Reuters - January 2012

Rabbi Martin Luther King (1929 - )

For American Jews, those in Israel as well, Dr. King, our most profoundly influential sage in the last century, remains alive in what's left of our better selves. Dr. King saw better than the rest of us. May we, here, in this sick and troubled place, come to see more like he did.

Benjamin Netanyahu - Emil Salman - 9.1.2012

Israel, 2012: Teaching the horse to starve

Republicans - AP - December 2011

Newt Gingrich may be able to occupy Palestine, but Israel can't
