Adam Langer: So what’s your take on the concept that some people have proposed -- that Obama’s our first Jewish president?
Arun Chaudhary: Well, I find the president’s view of Judaism very
familiar and comforting; it’s not the play-acting that you get from a
lot of politicians. He talked a lot about the Jewish books he’d read. He
talked about Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, which helped his
understanding of what it means to be Jewish. As for Roth, I’ve only been
star-struck two times. Meeting actors? I couldn’t care less. Sports?
Same thing. The only two people I was star-struck by were [former Russian leader] Gorbachev and [depressive novelist]
Philip Roth. I was so star-struck I could not go up to Roth and say
hello. ("Half Jewish on his President's Side")

Being "Jewish" is technically defined as a matrilineal succession. If one's mother is Jewish, her offspring are Jewish. This is modern Judaism's definition, not something imposed from without. So no one is "half-Jewish." One can become a Jew, and presumably leave. But leaving is tricky because being Jewish does not mean anything concrete. It is religion, a culture, an ethnicity, an identity, a slur, a slight, a sympathy, a way of claiming some exalted "chosen" status, and so on. Because it is so fluid and pervasive, what does it mean to be in our out? If one's parents are split into two opposing camps, which does one align oneself with? Do Jewish fathers make children half-Jewish, not really Jewish by birth? Mothers make one completely Jewish.

“No other book has conveyed such an authentic,
penetrating, and enchanting sense of the Palestinian
people and their long struggle for rights and security.”

Fast Times in Palestine
Pamela Olson (pictured left), a small town girl from eastern Oklahoma, had what she
always wanted: a physics degree from Stanford University. But instead of
feeling excited for what came next, she felt consumed by dread and
confusion. This irresistible memoir chronicles her journey from aimless
ex-bartender to Ramallah-based journalist and foreign press coordinator
for a Palestinian presidential candidate.
With dizzying speed she found herself attending Yasser Arafat's funeral,
tour-guiding Israeli friends around the West Bank, dating a Palestinian
from a conservative village, being held at gunpoint and injured by a
stun grenade, and witnessing the 2005 Disengagement from inside the Gaza
Strip.
The gripping narrative focuses not only on violence, terror, and
politics but also on the daily rounds of house parties, concerts,
barbecues, weddings, jokes, harvests, and romantic drama that happen in
between.
Funny, gorgeous, shocking, and galvanizing, Fast Times in Palestine challenges the way we think not only about the Middle East but about human nature and our place in the world. Table of Contents (with links to excerpts)
Who is this fictional character?
He's "Jewish" enough for me to work with, as long as he sticks with The Plan. |
Best friend of Rahm Emmanuel |
With an acceptable bloodline in order, he could be used to great advantage for larger plans than have yet been seen, the culmination of the Bush Dynasty's designs to bring about a Brave New World Order of Orwellian proportions. He is certainly not doing anyone in the country much good while serving to delight the powers that be, who accuse him of being a socialist trying to help the common person when in fact he is completely given over to supporting industrialists (like Monsanto Corp.) and the military, overseeing and promoting more wars than any previous president.
