Israel's Anti-Semitism Smear Campaign
Andrew Levine | counterpunch.org | 2018-09-21
Trump put his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a not-too-bright graduate of a Zionist day school and the gzillionaire son of a felonious Trump-like New Jersey real estate mogul, in charge of Middle East diplomacy. He made a Trump Organization lawyer, Jason Greenblatt, an "Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations." His bankruptcy lawyer, David Friedman, is his Ambassador to Israel. All three are in way over their heads; and all three are zealous ethnocrats.

Clara Labovsky: My mother's story
Lee Saltz | peoplesworld.org | 2018-09-21
Editor's note: Several weeks back I attended the memorial for an old friend of mine, August Maymudes (1930-2018), who had been a member of the Communist Party USA for some years. His father Abraham (1901-1989) had been chair of the Jewish Fraternal Order of the International Workers Order and was the West Coast correspondent for the Communist Yiddish newspaper Morgn Frayhayt (Morning Freedom). Augie was a professional pharmacist and a person of some influence among the former Communist Party members in the Los Angeles Jewish community. I reached out to him as part of my effort in the late 1990s to heal the breach between the "Old Left," the Workmen's Circle-Arbeter Ring (the socialist left), and the "New Left" generation that I represented as I became Southern California Director of WC-AR. An oral history with August Maymudes can be found here.
