Chief rabbi thanks Bush for 'war against Iraq'
By MATTHEW WAGNER
"I want to thank you for your support of Israel and in
particular for waging a war against Iraq," Metzger told
Bush, according to the chief rabbi's spokesman.
Bush reportedly answered that the chief rabbi's words
"warmed his heart."
Metzger's stand on the Iraqi war, while reflecting the Israeli majority and
Orthodox Jewry, is not shared with most US Jews. The American Jewish
Committee's annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion, published last year,
found that 70 percent of US Jews disapprove of the Iraq war, with 28%
backing it.
In a related story, Metzger was chosen as one of the 12 most influential
religious figures in the world for a CBS documentary called In God's Name
that appeared at the end of December.
