    MJ is a known pro occupation- Israel can do no wrong Zionist. It is his right to think whatever he wants about Israel/Palestine. However, to smear a candidate for the Tucson school board because of her politics on Israel/Palestine and to call it her "Jewish Problem" is both wrong and dishonest. Betts does not have a "Jewish Problem". Her positions on Israel/Palestine are shared by many people, Jews and non-Jews alike and these positions in no way have anything to do with the work she would do on the school board, other than advocating for human rights for all. Betts is a human rights activist and that includes advocacy for the rights of Palestinians, a people currently subject to a brutal and almost 50 year occupation. Her courage to stand up for the oppressed, even if it does not comport with the mainstream, is a testament to what she will bring to the school board.
