Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ), a charity that campaigns for social change, delivered a petition with 10,000 signatures to Fox News Thursday demanding that talk show host Glenn Beck get the pink slip. The petition drive began in November after Fox News aired a three-part Beck special on businessman and philanthropist George Soros called "Puppet Master." The television show was deemed anti-Semitic by many in the media and Jewish groups. Beck once said that his election coverage goal was to "make George Soros cry," which is "hard to do," as Soros "saw people into gas chambers."

Excellent.
Didn't I see Clapton up there on Guitar too?
Oh!
Dem Jooz yahwehs be hatin’ on de Mormons;)
Do you have a link so I can donate?
Beck will have a 3-part series outing these fools for who and what they are.
It’d be one thing if their petition cited facts to prove Glenn was lying or exaggerating...So far, nobody argues with his facts, only with his words.
Just another group of Liberal fools (useful idiots) using their faith as a prop to hide their politics. Many Jews are Conservative Republicans who would immediately denounce this fool. I don’t agree with everything Beck says, but he has the right to say it. Each of us can use our OFF button. I use my OFF button the minute Zero appears.
There are Catholics and other faiths doing the same thing. Religion has been hijacked by the Left by design.
Yeah that is one of the best preformances. Elton rocks out on it.
I doubt that these people are supporters of Israel. Recall that many Jews initially did not see or denied the anti Jew attitude of Hitler. There is something strange when big time Jews in New York give a pass to Obama.
Can I join the JWTGSIABA, even if I am not Jewish?
To show solidarity, of course!
Absolutly. Together we kick some ‘thrive’.
Ahhh thank you, FRiend! I will wear my motorcycle boots!
:-)
It never ends for Beck or Palin. That’s how you know they both are getting traction.
I like it. Think I’ll apply to that too.
Kraut worked for Carter and Mondale. I expect him to endorse Obama.
Before it changes—part of the Wikipedia explanation of JSFJ:
“In May 2007, Jewish Funds for Justice organized a coalition of more than 20 Jewish organizations in an attempt to focus the attention of the 2008 American presidential candidates on the domestic priorities of American Jews. The coalition produced an online survey, which received nearly 9,000 responses, and which identified health care as the top domestic concern of American Jews. [6]
JFSJ has been called “a catalyst” of the synagogue organizing movement. [7] In February 2007, JFSJ brought together more than 300 leaders from 63 different congregations to discuss their involvement in community organizing. JFSJ has also published a booklet and a video on Congregation-based Community Organizing.[8]
Since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, JFSJ has frequently spoken out about the need for fair and rapid redevelopment of the region.[9] [10] JFSJ co-sponsored the Blueprint for Gulf Renewal, published in August/September 2007 by the Institute of Southern Studies/Southern Exposure.[11]
JFSJ maintains a blog, http://www.jspot.org. [12], which serves as an online hub for Jewish netroots action and Jewish perspectives on contemporary issues of social and economic justice.
[edit] Recognition
In October 2007, JFSJ was included in Slingshot, a Resource Guide to Jewish Innovation for the third consecutive year. JFSJ was one of only eight organizations to receive a grant from The Slingshot Fund in coordination with its inclusion in Slingshot. [13]
Rabbi Jill Jacobs, Rabbi-in-Residence at JFSJ, was included in The Forward’s Forward 50 in 2006, for “almost single-handedly forc[ing] the movement to refocus on one of the oldest issues on the social agenda: workers’ rights.”[14]
JFSJ has been rated an “exceptional” charity (4 out of 4 stars) by Charity Navigator for its organizational efficiency and capacity. [15]
JFSJ Senior Vice President Jeffrey Dekro received a Community Impact Award from the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions (NFCDCU) in June 2007.[16]”
Mik Moore is Chief Strategy Officer of Jewish Funds for Justice (JFSJ). Mik has fifteen years experience working in communications, politics, and the Jewish community. At JFSJ, he develops the organization’s campaign strategy and oversees the advocacy and communications departments. In 2008 he took a leave from JFSJ to found and direct the Jewish Council for Education and Research, which created The Great Schlep and other projects to increase Jewish support for Presidential candidate Barack Obama. That year the Forward newspaper named him to the Forward 50, the newspaper’s annual list of influential American Jews, and Ha’aretz recognized his work in its list of “36 Jews who have shaped the 2008 U.S. election.” He serves on the boards of The Jewish Week and the Jewish Student Press Service. Prior to joining JFSJ, he served as deputy political director for SEIU Local 32BJ and executive director of the Jewish Student Press Service and editor of its monthly magazine for college students, New Voices.
