Dear Chaim:
(1) If you call a Persian / Iranian an Arab they view that as the ultimate insult. So why is it that some Mizrachi Jews embrace the "Arab-Jew" identity? How disgusting and what a chillul Hashem.
(2) I recently saw a fascinating documentary on the 1971 Attica Correctional Facility uprising. Unsurprisingly and as usual, there were 2 Jews involved in aiding and abetting the shfartza criminals. First, was Jerry Rosenberg, a/k/a "Jerry the Jew," an inmate at Attica, was convicted of killing two policemen in Brooklyn. "Jerry the Jew" was the jailhouse lawyer who aided and abetted the shfartzas in the riot. Second, was Wiliam Kuntsler, Y'SV, who was part of the "observer committee" and argued for clemency for the prisoners who killed a prison guard in the initial uprising. What do you remember about this event, how it ended and what lessons are to be learned?
