I was disillusioned seeing my Nation compatriots signed on to a statement that was, as they note, largely about clubbing ANSWER, not about Lerner (except in Lerner's eyes).</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>2) I will bet my signed Willie Nelson poster that if the self-absorbed Rabbi Lerner ever called a march as successful as the ones organized by ANSWER, he wouldn't invite -- i.e., he would "ban" -- radical Palestinians who question Israel's right to exist, who endorse armed resistance against Israel's occuption, or various other positions Lerner finds unpalatable. (Read how he first invited, and then "banned" a writer from submitting a piece on the Palestinian right to return in his magazine Tikkun <A href="http://www.al-awda.org/ror_tikkun_debate.htm">http://www.al-awda.org/ror_tikkun_debate.htm</A>). </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3) Yes, let's get back to fighting the war.
