AJC Executive Director David Harris blogs for the Jerusalem Post. From his latest entry:

On May 11, Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora had an op-ed in the New York Times.

It reminded me of a Cold War-era joke.

An American and a Soviet debated which country was more open. The American boasted that, without fear of arrest, he could stand near the White House and denounce President Nixon. The Soviet, clearly unimpressed, replied that the USSR was freer. He could stand near the Kremlin and assail the US leader, too. Not only wouldn’t he be seized, but Chairman Brezhnev would personally come out to thank him.

Saniora used the Winograd Commission report, a product of Israel’s democratic process, to criticize Israel, while failing to engage in any parallel self-reflection.

AJC Executive Director David Harris blogs for the Jerusalem Post. From his latest entry:

A few years ago, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) was in extended, and ultimately unsuccessful, merger talks with another Jewish organization. During the discussion of what should be the name of the new agency, someone suggested it should be called Veterans of Jewish Wars (VJW). It got a big laugh, maybe because it struck home about the nature of Jewish organizational life.
