2008-election

Ah, 1995, when terrorists were statesmen and Rudy Giuliani, in the words of Ed Koch, had “behavioral problems dealing with other people.”

I refer to that glorious time following Yasser Arafat’s receipt of the Nobel Peace...

My opinion piece in today’s Jewishworldreview.com addresses Rudy Giuliani’s demonstrated commitment to Israel, including in times when it won him no accolades.
