‘NYT’ openly counts Jewish politicians, and Obama and Clinton both reach out to Netanyahu

The New York Times has forever ended the debate over whether it’s fair or right to count Jews in positions of power. A story in yesterday’s Times examined the Jewishness of the politicians opposing the Iran Deal, and the Jewishness of their constituencies. “Jewish?” the graphic asks– a verbal tic usually reserved for private conversation.

The Times later altered the graphic because of criticism, but the criticism is hypocritical, because so many people openly count Jews on this vote.
