I have deep sympathy for the Jewish Voice for Peace messages. It is
better informed on the non-invite to Michael Lerner than I. The fact
remains that he, who I know from the UC Berkeley Free Speech Movement of
1964-5 and all the years since, and who certainly qualifies for the
negative things she says, remains probably the most important name in
the Jewish community favoring a two-state solution and opposing a war on
Iraq. Therefore it was a mistake for other Jewish speakers from San
Francisco to have been named, and for him to have been excluded. I still
hope that can be corrected. This is not an endorsement of his attempting
to shoulder his way in by making an accusation that seems to be false.
