[ DAVID PARTER @ UWisc Systems Lab ] If you wish to attack Rabbi Kahane, you may do so on the basis of his ideas. To attack him on an ad-hominem basis is counter-productive (and in this case wrong, since he was quoted here properly). In fact, I read "Why Be Jewish" and found it quite interesting. It gives one a chance to see what Rabbi Kahane thinks about topics other than Israel and the Arabs. Let's avoid a repetition of the low level debates we had last summer. -- Avi Malek @ATT Bell Labs Parsippany, NJ
