Beating Back Radical Islam Contributing editor Robert Sklar’s Aug. 18 essay “Can Israel Overcome Palestinian Religious Decree” (page 6) was interesting.

Sunday NY Times Educ. Section Cites ZOA Work Fighting Campus Anti-Semitism

What some see as a celebration of culture through food, others see as a political statement, and an offensive one at that. Just slip an Israeli flag on a toothpick.

OP-ED BY: Morton A. Klein ZOA Op-Ed in LA Jewish Journal Opposing AIPAC Event Which Included Anti-Israel Group
