Ever wish that you could say what you really feel about something going on in Klal? Ever wonder just why Klal acts/thinks the way it does? Here members of Klal can have the conversations they should be having but that aren't happening elsewhere, except, perhaps, in whispered conversations in dark corners. Say what you mean here, and let us hope that some conversation now will lead to changes later, some changes that are long overdue in Klal.

It Only Takes A Minute
Jameel is asking us to take some action to save someone from being deported from the US, someone who risked his life for Israel and who our government now is calling a terrorist. For the full story please go to
Is there a site that gives both sides of this? Has Israel vouched for this man to ICE and Homeland Security? Why can't Israel take him in and keep him safe? There may be very compelling reasons to help this man, but its not clear to me that this link is providing all of the information. If this man is indeed a hero who turned on Hamas, then writing or calling the attorney as the link suggests is not the most effective way to help him. Contacting your rep., senator and a coordinated campaign to petition higher ups at Homeland Security would be more effective.
This man converted to christianity according to the link. So where is the public outcry by any regular christian groups? Or all the civil liberties groups. I don't remember seeing or hearing this on the news anywhere so why aren't they covering it? Not saying that the man is lying but some corroboration in the regular media would be nice.

If this story is true, Agudath, OU, Chabad and other organizations with the ability to rally and organize lots of people should get involved.
