More on Israel: is it really an "apartheid state"?

Margarent Wente, a columnist for the Globe and Mail (Canada's self-styled "national newspaper") can usually be counted on for an insightful analysis of whatever topic she turns her hand (keyboard? ed.) to. Her take on the United Church's debate on Israel and its treatment of the Palestinians is excellent. Click here to read "How Israel became South Africa".

Ms. Wente rightly points the finger of scorn at the loony lefties in the UCC and "the Presbyterian Church in the U.S., the Church of England, Britain's National Union of Journalists, Ireland's largest public-sector union, various British academic groups, and our own beloved CUPE, all of which have passed anti-Israel resolutions".

Walt has one little question though. Is Ms. Wente by any chance...ermmm...Jewish? I think we should be told!
