      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I had already twice hosted Benjamin Netanyahu – at the time Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister – at the University of Oxford before I extended my first invitation to his scholarly father to lecture in turn. The elderly Netanyahu had recently published his internationally-celebrated opus Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth Century Spain, and I was fascinated by his theory of anti-Semitism extending not to the beginnings of Christianity but five hundred years before the birth of Jesus.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week I held a press conference at The Korean-American Voter’s Council in New Jersey. I shared with them my strong feelings of affinity with the Korean community whose values and circumstances reflect those of the Jewish community in many ways.  South Korea lives under the threat of destruction from a nuclear-armed North Korea, just as the Jewish people have always historically lived under the threat of annihilation, even up to this day, with a nuclear-ambitious Iran and its proxies who threaten to destroy the State of Israel. Yet both our communities have shown resilience under the ominous shadow of thug regimes. Many other parallels can be drawn. The Korean-American community exhibits hard work, entrepreneurship, and industriousness, with a strong emphasis on the centrality of education. They are devoted to the Bible and build devoted religious communities. They have an innate sense of identity and maintain the uniqueness and beauty of their culture.  And recently, even ancient Jewish texts studied in Jewish religious institutions the world over, most notably the Talmud, have reached the attention of the South Koreans, who now study these works in an effort to learn from the timeless wisdom passed down from the Jewish Sages of old.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[When I lived in England I got used to my British friends regularly taking digs at how primitive America is compared to enlightened Europe. To be sure, most of the time the mocking denigration was done in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way, and they really weren’t looking to offend me as an American. Still, the taunts were said with conviction. Today it continues, with my friends in England who hear I’m running for Congress asking me why I would want to be part of America’s fundamentalist, right-wing shift.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hamid Karzai recently called the brave and selfless members of the United States military 'demons' who were guilty of perhaps '500' atrocities against the people of the Afghanistan. One would have thought that the American Commander-in-Chief would swiftly denounce this stunning act of ingratitude by reminding him that nearly 2000 American troops have given their lives for the freedom of the Afghani people.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[B’nai Brith Canada is an organization whose stated purpose it is, like our excellent Anti-Defamation League here in the United States, to defend Jews against attack. It’s run by Frank Dimant whom I only ever met over the phone and who appears to be a gentleman. But that begs the question of what his purpose was in releasing a statement in support of Sun TV host Michael Coren after I condemned Coren’s anti-Jewish remarks in his interview with me in Toronto about my new bestseller Kosher Jesus.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Today I had what was probably the most unpleasant TV interview of my life on Canada’s Sun News Network (national). Interviewed by host Michael Coren about my book Kosher Jesus, I expected to be asked about the book’s content. The interview started that way. But then Coren quickly got to a question that seemed to be bursting from within. You’ll have to see the exact show, airing tonight at 7pm, for complete accuracy, and I am writing this about an hour after.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[By the time the dust settles on the ferocious battle over my book, "KosherJesus" – and it will settle – the reputation of several people will have been affected. Rabbi Yitzchok Wolf of Chicago, who started the controversy by writing that both the book and I should be banned from Chabad while admitting he had never read it, will have compromised his standing as an educator. After all, what kind of educator doesn’t believe in making educated statements?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The only reason I have decided to respond once again to Rabbi Wolfe and the legion of hatemongers he now heads, is for the sake of my children. I raised them to love Chabad for its ahavas Yisrael, its heart, and its humanity. Read the comments that are attached to Rabbi Wolfe’s attacks on me and what you’ll see is something utterly unrecognizable. A frenzied rabble accusing me of being a Christian, invoking Hitler’s name and mine in the same sentence, demanding that I be thrown out of Lubavitch – or worse! And rhetoric so inflammatory that is borders on incitement.]]></content:encoded>

Murray was even prepared to become Michael’s pusher. Now he has been justly punished and we can put the matter rest. Rest in peace Michael.
