Tikkun's Michael Lerner and the Mumbai Indiano

You all no doubt recall that right after the 911 attacks on the USA,
Michael Lerner, the editor of Tikkun magazine and perpetual
Rabbi-Impersonator, issued a statement in the name of his Tikkun
"progressives" suggesting that Americans deal with the attacks by "feeling
the pain" of the al-Qaida terrorists who had attacked the United States
because of their anguish over their grievances. If you think I am
kidding, see this:
http://www.theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/a_world_out_of_touch_with_itself_a_jewish_response_to_the_terror_attacks/
and especially this paragraph there: "When people have learned to treat
each other as means to our own ends, to not feel the pain of those who are
suffering, we end up creating a world in which these kinds of terrible
acts of violence become more common. And as we.ve learned from the current
phase of the Israel-Palestinian struggle, responding to terror with more
violence, rather than asking ourselves what we could do to change the
conditions that generated it in the first place, will only ensure more
violence in the future." (See also this)

Well, the Tikkun guru has been consistent and suggesting again that we all
feel the pain of the militants and activists who conducted a protest in
Mubai over the past few days. So come now and join Michael Lerner and the
Tikkun Tabernacle Choir in singing the new Tikkun song about the protests
and activist unrest in Mumbai. With apologies to Dean Martin, here comes
the Tikkun version of Mambo Italiano!

Some "activists" from Britania
