Opinion Backer of Settlements Gives to Rove’s Super PAC
Irving Moskowitz, a major donor to Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, has given $1 million to the Karl Rove-linked Republican super PAC American Crossroads. The donation, made in mid-February, was the subject of a lengthy Huffington Post report published April 12. Moskowitz, 83, is best known for funding efforts to establish…

Fast Forward Santorum Pulls Out of GOP Race
Rick Santorum ended his presidential campaign, effectively leaving Mitt Romney as the GOP candidate most likely to face President Obama in November. “This presidential race is over for me,” he said Tuesday in a speech in Gettysburg, Pa., in his home state. “We will suspend our campaign effective today.” Santorum, the former U.S. senator from…

Culture Why Are American Jews So Liberal?
Why are Jews so liberal? Every few years, the question gets asked, often with the unspoken follow-up “… and what can we do to change that?” This year, Republican super PACs are drooling with anticipation.

Opinion Mitt Romney, The Man With No Kishkes

Shmuley Boteach wants to be the first rabbi elected to the U.S. Congress. The onetime Chabad emissary is perhaps best known for his books about sex and for his celebrity ties.

Opinion Cultural Divide on Display at CPAC
Never before have I felt more keenly the cultural divide, a divide that goes well beyond its most obvious current expression in the realm of politics (although that realm is, here, my principal focus).
