The Emmanuel school affair has become increasingly troubling. Now the sides have become so deeply entrenched in their views that they are ignoring reality. Unfortunately racism and unfair prejudices and even hatred is a pathology that effects all segments of human society and in order for it to be eradicated it needs to be contently fought against.

Reading about Jewish communal politics is a favorite past time for British Jews and the UK’s Jewish Chronicle usually does a wonderful job of reporting the community’s foibles. But the most recent UK Synagogue fight beats all of the rest. Except this time the childishness is trounced by the heartless and callous treatment of the rabbi involved.

The argument about healthcare in the United States is heating. According to many on the right the United States has the best healthcare in the world and it should not be tampered with. According to the left the entire healthcare system needs to be overhauled because, in their view, it does not meet the needs of a modern society.
But the question is more fundamental: what are our ethical responsibilities when it comes to caring for the health of others? Do we as a society have a responsibility to provide health care that is—similar the National Health Service in the UK—universal, tax funded and free at the point of need?Recommend this article... |

What is so shocking about Bernie Madoff is not that he is a gonif, there will always be thieves and cooks and we have all met our fair share of them. That he was able to crook people for so long without them realizing it is what I find most outrageous.

It was reported that the security services in the United States have asked Barack Obama to refrain from using his Blackberry device. They say that it is difficult to secure the communications that are sent from a handheld and that it could therefore be a security risk. Many of us are very concerned for the safety of the President-Elect, especially those of us who are members of a minority group and have been subjected to hatred from bigots and know how virulent and irrational that hatred can get. Nonetheless, it seems that Barack Obama has not yet decided to cede to this request of the security services and part with his Blackberry device. Recommend this article... |
