I don’t think that’s true of Josh Fattal. Josh, according to his bio, attended the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY. He finished up his last 3 semesters at Berkeley with a B.S. in environmental economics and policy from the College of Natural Resources. By all accounts, he’s simply a sustainable living/environmental enthusiast. He’s a contributor at The Jewish Week magazine, and is a Jew. Hardly a likely source for a pro-Iranian crusader. Bauer and his girlfriend seem to fit the mold you describe better, but that doesn’t mean they ever entered Iran. I’m not prepared to call our own media liars while swallowing the story put out by the Iranian government of all sources. Even if they were misguided or foolish, that doesn’t make them criminals and allowing Iran to lock up American citizens at will, on trumped up charges, will only embolden them.
Well sure, we should demand their release unless there is overwhelming evidence that they were up to no good.
But these kids are typical Berkeley libs (I know, my son is a Berkeley grad).
They sit in the comfort of academia and criticize America, something that is all too easy and takes no courage. Then they go to violent areas and are surprised when everything they thought about America is actually true elsewhere.
Noam Chomsky is a Jew. So is George Soros. Rachel Corrie was a Jew. See what I'm getting at, here?
