Not mentioned is that 87% of the Jews voted for Democrat canddiates in the 2006 election and about that number in the 2004 election. This varies some with the high point being Reagan's first try where he received almost half the Jewish vote.
This is a hot issue especially since lately there has been talk of expanding and developing new "settlements" on the West Bank. POTUS has spoken strongly against such "settlements."
Interesting
Foxman is the Jewish Jesse Jackson. But better paid.
Actually article is a mess.
Does the New York Times have an anti-Christian problem?!

• December 30 -- The Times Remembers Joseph Coors, "Right-Wing Nut"
James Traub marks the death of Joseph Coors Sr., the beer magnate who helped found the conservative Heritage Foundation: "Since Joseph Coors was a right-wing nut as well (and a Bircher to boot), I stuck to Michelob."
October 27 -- Republican Party "Most Extreme" Ever
Contributing writer James Traub rationalizes the Bush-bashing tomes taking over the best-seller lists: "Our political culture has not been infected by some virus from outer space, or from TV. The carrier was Newt Gingrich….Gingrich brought delegitimation to the core of G.O.P. strategy….The politics of delegitimation worked, at least in the short term. Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress in 1994…Today's Republican Party is arguably the most extreme--the furthest from the center--of any governing majority in the nation's history."
• July 7 -- Democrats Are Too Good for the World
James Traub writes: “Maybe Democrats are just nicer, but a more philosophical view is that liberals are committed to, are in fact bedeviled by, ideals about process that do not much preoccupy conservatives, at least contemporary ones. Liberals put their faith in such content-neutral principles as free speech, due process, participatory democracy. Is that too lofty?” Ask a campus conservative about liberal love of free speech, or Robert Bork about liberal love of due process.
• October 25 -- More Republican "Extremism" from James Traub
James Traub contributes another column on Republican "extremism" to the Sunday Magazine.
• August 30 -- "Moderate" Traub vs. "Extremist" Republicans
James Traub again portrays himself as a moderate while attacking Republican extremism: "…it is conservative culture, the culture permeating the Bush administration, that is shot through with Sixties moralism and self-righteousness, the calls to ideological purity, the insistence that the other is not merely wrong but illegitimate."

Foxman is scum. However the author is a leftist, who wants to silence any Jew who questions appeasing Islamists.
