Thanks for posting that from the AJC. I know it must be painful. As I've mentioned, I'm a Unitarian. It is sad to see what passes for Unitarianism today. My church is 180^o from what it was in Jefferson's day. It is painful for me to see press releases from my church too.

But exposure is the best disinfectant. Most teachers don't believe in the radicalism expressed by the NEA leadership. I don't believe even liberal Jews are as liberal as Abe Foxman and the ADL and AJC leadership. Painful as it may be, the way, I think, to get the rank and file to reconsider who they support is to put the leadership's words out for all to see.

The AJC is not a religious, but a ethnic instution. Same with the ADL.

I'll get pissed when the Reform Jewish groups lke the UAHC condemns the ruling.

Ironically, the current Jewish leadership in Russia is far more conservative than the U.S. On his last trip to Russia, President Bush met with Jewish leaders of the Federation of Jewish Communities, and snubbed the old, KGB-appointed "Judenrat" which has been superseded by the FJC.
