In the land of dreamers

Roberto Loiederman November 18, 2011

In early 1945 in Hungary, as the Nazis were being routed out of Budapest by the Soviet army, 8-year-old Nicholas Frank came out of the Red Cross shelter where he, his mother and his older sister had been hiding. He looked at the destroyed city around him and realized that this devastation was not an act of nature. National leaders and influential decision-makers had caused it to happen.

America should not repair Iran’s ‘civilian’ planes

Jewish Journal November 18, 2011

The Jewish Journal recently ran an article by anti-AIPAC blogger MJ Rosenberg criticizing me for pushing a provision in Iran sanctions legislation that would prohibit the sale of aircraft replacement parts and repair services for Iran’s aging airliners. Rosenberg is correct that I am the chief advocate for including that provision in the bill. I want to make readers aware of some information he leaves out of his article attacking my motives for championing the provision.

Ayala Or-El November 18, 2011
