Glad Ackerman never showed up, maybe now people will wake up and see what a coward and user he is!
Thanks for your comments eb22!
My pleasure, arksis!
One correction from what I wrote the other day. The endorsement was just for the Democrat Primary, not for the General Election. That's bad enough. Patricia Maher has much better positions on Israel than Gary Ackerman.
While Gary Ackerman did win the Democrat Primary, he did receive less than 70 % of the vote. This is encouraging for the long term.
Here's what I submitted to the ' Jewish Press' . It will be interesting to see if they even post my comments, which were moderate all things considered:
Message Title:
Endorsing Gary Ackerman is a disgrace!
Your Message:
Your decision to Gary Ackerman over Patricia Maher in the Democrat 5th District Congressional Race contributes to causing significant damage to the United States, Israel, and the Jewish people in general. I'm outraged by this and the fact you didn't even acknowledge Elizabeth Berney's excellent true pro-Israel efforts. Liz Berney is the antithesis of Gary Ackerman when it comes to Israel and the vast majority of other issues as well. Not to mention her vast knowledge about Israel and her willingness to speak the truth about the PLO/ Fatah, which in reality are more dangerous than Hamas. At least Hamas is overt with their hideous intentions. The PLO/ Fatah are using deception, also known as Taqiyya. Ackerman actually supports the PLO/ Fatah! This by itself is enough of a reason to vote Ackerman out of office ASAP! Endorsements like this one help convince many people that Gary Ackerman has pro-Israel policies. In reality, Ackerman is in essence Israel's worst nightmare. Thankfully people like Liz Berney and true right wing Jewish organizations like the Jewish Task Force have attempted to expose Ackerman's extremely dangerous agenda. I'm outraged by your endorsement of Ackerman, who has contempt for the voters of the 5th District. He didn't even bother to show up at a debate in Great Neck Synagogue the night before the primary. Gary Ackerman acts like someone who believes he owns a Congressional Seat. He's combative and condescending to those who disagree with him. How can anyone be pro-Israel when they want Israel to dismantle the Settlements and states that Settlers in Hebron perpetrated pograms against the so called Palestinians? The Hebron Massacre against the Jews by the Nomad Muslim Arabs ( this is what so called Palestinians really are. Name any past Palestianian Prime Minister or currency? ) in 1929 demonstrates the true mission of these subhuman creatures. Their mission, kill anyone who doesn't convert to their religion, when giving the opportunity. Yet, individuals like Gary Ackerman attempt to legitimize these vicious Jew haters. Until you retract your endorsement of Gary Ackerman, I'm boycotting your newspaper and will tell others to do so.
