Almost everyone who lives in New York City knows that I am Jewish. Most know that I am a secular Jew who believes in God, the afterlife, reward and punishment, and that I hope to be rewarded.
I have spent much of my professional life stressing how important it is for Jews to strengthen the Jewish-Catholic relationship. Jews should also convey their deep appreciation for the support that evangelical Protestants give to both Israel and the American Jewish community.
Regrettably, a number of mainstream Protestant churches have been supportive of the Palestinians and Arab causes for years, and hostile to Israel.
The tie between Jews and Catholics, strengthened by Popes John XXIII and John Paul II, is very important. It has been emphasized less under the current Pope, Benedict XVI.
There are more than a billion Catholics in the world and only 13 million Jews. We Jews need their larger numbers and energy to help us fight the rising anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe. Jews are living in a Golden Age in the United States, and anti-Semitism exists here to a lesser degree than in Europe.
The Anti-Defamation League recently reported that 15 percent of American adults — 35 million people — are deeply anti-Semitic.

Excellent!
Mayor Koch WHACKS that slimebag Tom Friedman into pieces.
GINGRICH IS RIGHT.
Go Newt
BUMP!
God be with Newt Gingrich!
Koch reams Friedman a new one. Way to go Koch!
It’s a great column, but Newsmax has rather limited viewership. I hope it’s picked up by other news sources.
There’s a lot of garbage memes about Jews out there which is just that — garbage. The same old corny and trivially untrue stereotypes about greed, etc.
Friedman usually deserves it.
Fascinating, how the left has elevated Friedman to the position of Supreme Intellectual, yet his columns are usually composed of utter nonsense masquerading as rational thought.
Friedman deals in "fuzzy truths" that only he can discern.
DAYUM!
Yes, you’re right. I hope so this gets wide coverage.
Perhaps Friedman will feel the need to respond......LOL.

there you go.. this is Friedman’s wifes money.. Gingrich earned all of his.. well... bye
Koch is a man of his convictions and to be applauded for this.
And the Palestinians and Arab have been really supportive of a number of mainstream Protestant churches. Can't you tell by numerous churches being built in the mid-east. I didn't think so.
From looking at his “digs,” looks like Friedman is a one percenter. Perhaps he needs to be “occupied.”
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Will be interesting to see who Ed supports.

I think he and Paul Krugman are brothers from another mother. Both are interchangeable.
