Tikkun Magazine, the American Jewish magazine, published a full page ad today in The New York Times on the Israel-Lebanon conflict.  Rabbi Michael Lerner appeared tonight on CNN's Larry King Live to discuss the ad.  Tikkun used the ad to call on Israel to stop the killing in Lebanon.  Sadly, some Jewish groups have claimed any opposition to Israel's military campaign are anti-Semitic.  That position is a lot like the Religious Right that claims any criticism of them is anti-Christian.  Jewish voices are (like Christians) diverse.  Rabbi Lerner should be applauded for his leadership on this issue.  Here is the ad
