Jewish Ethical Views Differ on Schiavo

Joanne Palmer March 24, 2005

Jews, like others caught up in the debate, have a range of beliefs, and their understanding of how to apply halacha varies accordingly.

Initially, one cannot help but think that the surge of retired, elderly Jews to Florida, augmented by this year\’s Lieberman Factor, has redefined Florida politics into an Israel-style method of governance. While the rest of America was voting and deciding on Tues., Nov. 7, Florida was telling us – just as Israel runs under Barak – \”Wait 48 hours, and then we\’ll decide.\” Two days later, as the last recount came in from Seminole County with Bush a nose ahead, Florida essentially told us, \”Well, wait 48 more hours, and then we\’ll really decide.\” Even today, Nov. 17, with all the incoming mail ballots from those Floridian voters stationed out-of-state in the military and on campuses tallied, we still have the proverbial 48 hours and more. Recounts. Manual recounts. Just like Barak\’s Israel.
