From The Palm Beach Post:

Cuban Jews' plight is real; Greene's tactic despicable

Political campaigning hit a low point when Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Greene used religion as an excuse to evade the truth about his yachting trip to Cuba.

Mr. Greene constantly altered his story, first saying he was not on board. He later claimed that he went to Cuba on a humanitarian mission to aid the Jewish community and visit synagogues there.

He, of course, did nothing of the sort. As the evidence now shows, Mr. Greene went to Cuba to party, and he got caught telling a lie in a debate. His falsehoods were repeated in newspaper articles and on TV news reports.

The plight of Cuban Jews - and Cubans in general - is serious. To falsely exploit their situation to gain the trust of Florida's voters is disgraceful. Underlying the lies is a blatant and misleading appeal to Jewish voters, which should also be rejected. With the real needs of Jews in Cuba, not to mention other serious problems such as poverty and suffering of thousands of Holocaust survivors in the United States, it is revealing that Mr. Greene cites no actual good works in support of the needy.

In contrast, as a member of Congress, Kendrick Meek actually has devoted himself to supporting the needs of Holocaust survivors and other impoverished communities. He also has actively supported Israel's security and prosperity, including tough and enforceable sanctions against Iran, and greater Arab responsibility for achieving peace between Israel and its neighbors.
