Once Called a ‘Schwarze,’ Saban’s for Obama

The Jerusalem Post is saying that Haim Saban is supporting Obama for a reason very similar to my love of Obama, his statement at AIPAC  that the great martyrs Schwerner and Goodman, two Jewish boys, were "willing to die" alongside Chaney in Mississippi. Saban spoke to Portfolio magazine. Still haven't read the piece; got to. But I'd note that Saban is an Arab Jew, born in Egypt. In this interview in Haaretz, he remembers being derided as a "schwarze haya" or black animal, in Tel Aviv as a teenager. Ah, diversity!
