Roundup Roundup from page 10 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. -Don Cohen, special writer '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.
