tangenjill: October 2010

http://www.tangenjill.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 10, 2010. Pam Geller Does NOT Speak for Me. Having just read the New York Times. On blogger, Pamela Geller, I am disgusted with her arrogant bigotry. As a Jewish American I am annoyed that this narrow-minded person thinks she speaks for me. She does NOT. She has taken a legitimate concern of women's rights in Islamic societies and has defamed an entire faith. And by trying to link all. Palestinians to Hamas, she makes an opening for those who would call all. If ever there is to be a third...

tangenjill: Israel...Moving Away from Democracy

http://www.tangenjill.com/2011/07/israelmoving-away-from-democracy.html

Monday, July 18, 2011. Israel.Moving Away from Democracy. As someone who grew up proud of the ideals that a modern, democratic Israel stood for an ingathering of nations it is a sad to read how far it's moved from its foundation of democracy, plurality and freedom of speech. With the recent passing of the anti-boycott law by the Knesset. Israel has moved away from. Reconciliation and a two-state solution with the Palestinian people toward a de facto. No way," I said. Preserving democracy, human right...

tangenjill: November 2010

http://www.tangenjill.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 26, 2010. Doesn't know about being an American:. Our Pilgrim forbears were mostly grateful for the assistance that the Wampanoag gave the settlers of Plimoth Plantation. Blaming all Native Americans for selling Manhattan twice to the Dutch is like blaming all New Yorkers when you find out you don't own the Brooklyn Bridge after all and who really lost out there anyway? General George Washington's troops included. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

tangenjill: Being American

http://www.tangenjill.com/2012/09/being-american.html

Tuesday, September 25, 2012. I've been meaning to speak out on Scott Brown's taking to task Elizabeth Warren because she's claimed to have Native American ancestry. That she never did it to gain special consideration doesn't matter to him. Because she doesn't "look" like what he thinks a native person should look like, he thinks she's to blame. For something. That's outrageous. He doesn't "look" like what I'd imagine a jerk to look like but that doesn't mean he's not one. As a kid I felt an affinity for ...

tangenjill: May 2011

http://www.tangenjill.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 15, 2011. My Year in Jeruslaem. Everything changes; the trick is keeping the whole from breaking into fragments.people divided by fear and hatred. Back in 1984 I left my midwestern college behind and headed abroad. After two years of isolating depression, I was ready to risk exploring the world. Jerusalem seemed an obvious choice. I had grown up with National Geographic. Looking through Leon and Jill Uris' Jerusalem. I went to Hebrew school twice a week from age 8 onward until my Bat Mitzvah ...

tangenjill: September 2010

http://www.tangenjill.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 2, 2010. Public Education and Why It's a Necessity, Part I (Revised)*. I'm heartened to know that friends still support their local public schools even while their children attend private schools. When millages come up for a vote, they vote "yes". They could easily focus on only their own kids' school and lives, but in supporting public schools they are helping to strengthen democracy in our republic. And now that corporations can be treated as individuals. Because of this endowment o...

tangenjill: July 2010

http://www.tangenjill.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 31, 2010. Living in New York (9/11). Living in NYC for almost twelve years; we moved up to the Bronx the month after our oldest son was born. Two years later our youngest was on the way. My labor stopped after I learned of the attack on the Twin Towers. Dorothy had called to check on me; she and her family lived five floors above us. She was like a sister never had. A plane had flown into the World Trade center, she said. It was on the television. On other occasions friends and I zoomed th...
