I'm Philip Weiss. I'm 51 and live in New York state.
This blog is here because of 9/11, Iraq, and my progressive Jewish background. I'm interested in: ideas, books, Jewish identity, pluralism, the political and nationalist claims on American Jews by Israel, American foreign policy, globalization, the struggle within Islam...
And I'm a luftmensch. That's Yiddish for a woolgatherer. Though it's not a culturally-bound concept. There are lots of us everywhere. Sometimes we have good ideas.
