Re: Opinion | John Brennan: Joe Biden Should Watch "The Present" - The New York Times

I just googled Deborah Ross and one article listed her as Christian. It didn't say what religious faith she is a part of. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article111052762.html Sue On Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 9:01 PM < ekinnaird2@gmail.com > wrote: Deborah is Jewish, and may be Zionist.  I have no idea other than she is uninformed.  Ellie   Sent from my Verizon Motorola Smartphone On Apr 28, 2021 1:39 PM, Elizabeth Axtell < liz.s.axtell@gmail.com > wrote: Earlier today, I called rep.

Thanks Ellie, for helping us avoid expecting too much, yet Deborah is former head of NC ACLU.    As a new member of Congress she may be starting off by going along to get along,  but considering the shift in some quarters of the US Jewish community, it still should be important  to make the pitch necessary for "new times" to arrive.   Certainly advocates for continued status quo would not have missed courting her as she ran for office, and the Price example may be taking its toll, but the op ed by John Brennan, former CIA chief suggests possibilities. I wrote Kathy Manning today via her website - which doesn't block non-constituents.   Also Price's foreign affairs aide      Samantha.schifrin@mail.house.gov Tomorrow I plan to get the note to Deborah's office as well.  Saw her from a distance at an event in Raleigh today with Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg.     - Jerry On Apr 30, 2021, at Apr 30,  1:10 PM, ekinnaird2@gmail.com wrote: Deborah is Jewish, and may

While lamenting Brennan's NYT opinion shortcomings, Rarely if ever if in years past with the times I've covered an opinion like this – certainly not during the reign of Thomas Friedman. I hope Brennans opinion piece opens an avalanche of letters thst speak more grippingly of the plight of Palestinians under Israel's occupation/colonization. I will share it with JVP and other Palestinian, academic, human rights, Black Lives Matter/Movement for Black Lives, faith leaders and others. Thanks for sharing.
