The WSJ is probably the closest to neutral of America's major newspapers. You guys (all of you) should read it more often. I subscribe... and have a copy on my desk right now.

re: "Take note, another article from the WSJ."

So noted.

The WSJ is probably the closest to neutral of America's major newspapers. You guys (all of you) should read it more often. I subscribe... and have a copy on my desk right now.

But although a newspaper's editors might strive for overall neutrality, that's not always true of the human beings who write for it. Sometimes, neutrality is best achieved by posting one article that's to the left of an issue, and another that's to the right of it.

In the case of Dorothy Rabinowitz... she leans in the direction of Israel. She's Jewish... and not an uninvolved Jew either.

From InfoPlease.com's article about Dorothy Rabinowitz:

In 1970, her book on aging, Home Life, was published, followed by New Lives, a book about death camp survivors,

Per Wikipedia, these are the books she's authored:

• No Crueler Tyrannies: Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times, Free Press, 2003. ISBN 0743228340.
• About the Holocaust : what we know and how we know it, Institute of Human Relations Press, American Jewish Committee, 1979. OCLC 5829480.
• New Lives: Survivors of the Holocaust Living in America, Random House, 1976. ISBN 0394485734.
• The other Jews; portraits in poverty, Institute of Human Relations Press, American Jewish Committee, 1972. OCLC 344030.
• Home life; a story of old age, by Dorothy Rabinowitz & Yedida Nielsen, Macmillan, 1971. OCLC 138427.

Given that Israel, Jews and the Holocaust are her area of interest, I don't have to read anything she says about Ron Paul to know her feelings. You may as well have posted an opinion piece written by a member of the Fed. The prospect of a Ron Paul presidency terrifies Israeli-sympathizers.

Unfortunately, the U.S. doesn't have the money it takes to prop up Israel indefinitely. Moreover, it has no business doing so.
