    From Williamsburg to the West Bank

    Over the past several weeks, the Brian Lehrer Show has examined underlying issues in the Middle East conflict like Israel’s “security fence” and Palestinian terror groups. Today, two Jewish Americans discuss the diversity of views within their own communities on what US policy should be. Plus, Dean tries to resuscitate himself in New Hampshire, “social capital” in New York, and the Exodus Transitional Community helps ex-cons re-integrate in East Harlem.
