October 2, 2003
For the most part, Jewish leadership in Los Angeles and elsewhere can be expected to oppose the recall of longtime \”ally\” Gov.

Cruz Bustamante (see page 12). \”Go along to get along\” expediency and Pavlovian liberal sympathies provide much of the explanation.
Yet, as is all too often the case, the more pressing, long-term issues will be lost.

Now he has become handmaiden to the undermining of our most precious principles, the sanctity of citizenship.
