Kesher Talk

The Jewish press are still ragging on Schwarzenegger: "Why can't a Republican be more like a Democrat?"

Go on, you know you want to ask the question! As I noted earlier, the Jewish newspapers seem incapable of understanding why anyone would want to vote for a Republican, especially Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Marc Ballon rambles across numerous anti-Arnold topics in the Jewish Journal, drawing upon the same set of Nazi links that have already been hashed and rehashed a dozen times: "Jews might have difficulty voting for the son of a Nazi storm trooper."

God help me, I have to defend Kurt Waldheim from Marc Ballon's poor reporting. As I noted in my last post, Arnold has some peculiar undefined relationship with Kurt Waldheim. But Marc Ballon does not stop there. He also shows himself to be ignorant of UN politics, by trying to blame Waldheim for the 'Zionism-is-racism' resolution, which passed under his tenure as UN general secretary. Waldheim may be an ex-Nazi, and I think that is bad enough on its own, but the anti-Israel sentiments of the UN body were most definitely universal, not the result of any Waldheim scheming or leadership. UN members don't like Israel, period. Waldheim's views were completely immaterial.

But back to Arnold. I'm quite tired of reading about the "Jewish" view of the California recall. With the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals postponing the recall until March, you woul think there was enough entertainment--excuse me, I mean politics--for journalists to report...
