I didn't say he was. But there is a buzz about it. http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/ne...p3?artid=11755

Did anyone catch last night's Law and Order (I think?) about the Synagogue in New York, a fake old Torah book from Poland, and the two Jewish cousins who hated each other because of Judaism? Ick.

Dick Wolf - the producer - is definetly Jewish. Don't warry

In my opinion the quality of continent in Law & Order is descreasing. Damn, I miss Lenny Brescoe.

Some of the buzz has been mixed. There's a sense that this is his anti-schindler, that Spielberg isn't all that pro Israel and that the movie is more of a condemnation of violence in general. Everyone's violence. A soft moral equivalency. Of course no one's who's seen it can comment directly.

In another context it's a Yiddish fable. Or maybe the story of Jacob and Esau.

The bottom line is, and I believe someone at the bottom of the article raises a similar point: The world hates Jews who take action. Who defend themselves. Who don't double-think every action. Who know right from wrong. This movie seems to be a testament to the World's discomfort with strong Jews.

Uncalled for violence and deserving violence are still violent. And I know that what happened to those athletes is wrong, and that justice was rightfully served. The fact remains that it is still violence.

An ethicist would say, 'maybe'. Maybe, sometimes is violence not only necessary and just but righteous. The conditions are narrow the scope is vague, but it's possible, at least in terms of the greater good.
