The Conference of Major Jewish Organization should be ashamed for obliging Democrats’ request to disinvite Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) from a protest in New York of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, writes Seth Leibsohn. While many American Jews are socially liberal, their “true interests” on foreign policy are better represented by Republicans, according to Leibsohn. Sen. Joe Biden’s (D-Del.) suggestion that high-income Americans have some patriotic duty to pay higher taxes dumbs down the policy debate and doesn’t allow for the argument that raising taxes on the rich could be the wrong move, writes Ramesh Ponnuru.
