“It is true that the American legal system derives much of its content from the Old Testament [Jewish Bible or Tanach]…
When we were growing up, my friends and I would take great pride in discovering the Jewish sources of American laws, such as: the privilege against self-incrimination, the requirement of two witnesses for certain types of crime, and the very idea that punishment must be proportionate to the crime committed.”

“The world may have to deal with terrorists in order to save lives. But the moral scandal is that in addition to simply dealing with these terrorists, much of the world has HONORED them. The standing ovation accorded to Yassir Arafat – the architect of international terrorism – by many UN representatives in Geneva in 1988 will live in infamy. The willingness of world statesmen – including the pope and other moral leaders – to treat Arafat as a person deserving of tribute is beyond moral comprehension.”
