NYT profiles Israel’s man in Washington http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/nyt-profiles-israels-man-in-washington/ For Michael Oren, the hardest thing about becoming Israel’s ambassador to the United States was giving up his American citizenship. Oren was featured in The New York Times’ Saturday Profile: en-us uheilman@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-09-29T;18:10:01-05:00 Comment by George Lakehomer kingofgab@interlync.com Nowhere in the article does it say that Mr. Oren cares more about Israel than the United States. For people who are genuinely interested in Mr. Oren’s story, I suggest you click the “Full story here” link at the end of the article and read the full profile of Mr. Oren - degrees from Princton, Columbia (2 actually), decades of service as an IDF soldier, well known scholar, recognized author, and public servant. Mr. Oren is, most importantly, a man of character and integrity. And not incidentally, there are an uncountable number of Jews all over the world outside of Israel who do not think of or believe that Israel is a foreign country.
