Letters to the Editor: Harman v. Winograd, Fishel Reflects,

By JewishJournal.com

It is puzzling that Rob Eshman supports Jane Harman rather than Marcy Winograd for the 36th Congressional District Democratic nomination (“Harman v. Winograd,” Jan. 15). Winograd has merely questioned whether a two-state solution is the most effective peace program for the Middle East. She has also stated that she would support negotiations that resulted in Israeli and Palestinian countries behind secure borders, a position consistent with that of most American Jews. A descendant of pogrom and Holocaust survivors, and a longtime synagogue member and Jewish community activist, Winograd’s credentials as part of our people are impeccable. And unlike Harman, who opposes reduced-cost drugs for AIDS and Parkinsons victims, opposes bankruptcy for medical reasons, and strongly supported the invasion of Iraq, Winograd is in the Jewish mainstream. It is Harman who is the outlier in this community, not Winograd.
