Author Resolves
Book Fair Slot
With the JCC Jewish Book Fair over for
the year, one author has already been
invited for next year. But he had hoped to
present this year.
Dr. Marc Weisman of West Bloomfield,
a physician in private practice and at
Beaumont Hospital, is the author of his
first book Re-United States: The Common
Sense Guide for Defending America in the
Age of Terror.
The book is available at Amazon,
Barnes & Noble and Borders.
Weisman wrote to the Jewish News con-
cerned that he had been excluded from
the year's Book Fair because of "politi-
cally correct appeasement" of "violent
and non-violent jihad"since the book
"decried our nation's political divisions
and misguided appeasements as they
relate to radical Islam."
"We desperately need to debate this
issue, not censure it:' he wrote to the IN.
"Islamic extremism is a topic that should
tire/to-
transcend the triviality of political left
or right:"
In the book's introduction, accessible
at www.asonenation.com , he writes
"This is not an anti-Islamic book; it is
anti-Islamic extremism book."
Weisman had met the West Bloomfield
JCC's Director of Arts, Culture &
Education Heidi Budaj in New York ear-
lier in the year when he presented his
book to staff and volunteers involved
with JCC book fairs from across the
country.
When the local book fair organizers
did not give him a time slot in the week-
long event, Weisman expected that he
would, at least, be included in the local
authors program. But since Weisman
applied for a featured spot and not spe-
cifically for the local authors program, he
wasn't on that program either.
Budaj later informed Weisman he was
welcome as a local author for the 60th
annual Jewish Book Fair in 2011.

'Obama Remark
Misinterpreted'
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- U.S. Rep. Eric
Cantor's promise that the new GOP
majority will "serve as a check" on the
Obama administration was "not in rela-
tion to U.S.-Israel relations," his spokes-
man said.
Brad Dayspring told the Washington
Post Monday that the comment last week
by Cantor, R-Va., the putative leader of
the House of Representatives, to visit-
ing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu had been misinterpreted to
refer to Israel.
According to a statement released by
Cantor's office, the congressman told
Netanyahu in a meeting that "the new
Republican majority will serve as a check
on the administration and what has
been, up until this point, one-party rule
in Washington."
Cantor made clear that "the Republican
majority understands the special rela-
tionship between Israel and the United
States, and that the security of each
tO mitutii m
to tie tii( jto
nation is reliant upon the other."
Cantor's Republican Party swept mid-
term elections earlier this month for the
House.
Such meetings with opposition leaders
are unusual; and Cantor's office at the
time cast it as a get-together between two
men with a longstanding relationship.
