1. Strange bedfellows
Jacob Edelman ,   NYC- NY   (12.14.16)
During Prime Minister's visit to Azerbaijan it was revealed that Israel has supplied sophisticated weaponry to the tune of 5 billion dollar over a 10 year period to a country famous for human rights abuses and its imprisonment of journalists and free thinkers.
Another item of note: Azerbaijan Embassy in Washington DC is co-hosting tomorrow December 14, 2016 with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in USA a Hanukkah party at Trump's newly inaugurated Hotel near the White House.
While inter religious celebration of religious feats is a most welcome initiative bringing together the followers of two monotheistic religions, I thought Hanukah celebrated the Festival of Lights and it never occurred to me it could be the occasion to share the moments with those who represent the forces of darkness and evil. All you have to do is to read a little bit about Azerbaijan , its policies and its repression of freedom and human right to realize on whose side darkness ... shines.
