I'm An Israeli Patriot': An Interview with Druze MK Ayoub Kara Sara Lehmann \| Posted Aug 18 2010 Non-Jews are no strangers to Israel's policy of inclusivity in its government.

Farley Post Office in Manhattan. There I was, on 8th Avenue and 31st Street, smack dab between the uber-liberal West Side to the north of me and Greenwich Village to the south. And I was surrounded by signs that read, "Free markets, not free loaders", "Redistribute my work ethic, not my savings," and "Government does not solve problems, it subsidizes them."

Read Article 15) We're Losing The Campus Debate Sara Lehmann \| Posted Mar 03 2010 It's been five years since I attended a symposium at Columbia University discussing the David Project's documentary "Columbia Unbecoming," a film that highlighted anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements by faculty in the Middle East Arts Language and Culture MEALC program.
