When I heard about people being offended that George Allen was asked about being Jewish, I thought they were just being sensitive -- but I just watched it for myself (first clip) (I make no statements about the rest of the page). I am indeed shocked -- especially the "at what point did your Jewish identity end" part of the question. He's right -- if that is an important and pertinent question to ask a political candidate, we should be worried! I'm glad the rest of the audience seemed to agree with me.
A community which can sport of an Albert Einstein has nothing to be ashamed of. I read somewhere that Einstein gave up the presidency of Israel because he had no experience of working with human beings. I admire him even more for that.
