I don't believe that the liberal Jews on this forum speak for Jews as a whole. Nor do I believe that Gibson speaks for Jews. I believe that Jews are a divergent group, with many different points of origin, many cultural differences, and many political opinions. I think that I can find plenty of evidence to show that the Jewish American communities in New York and Chicago, as well as other places, have supported many liberal causes. My guess would be that they would be split on this issue. Gibson and Zeller simply represent their own view, nothing more.

The settlement received by Michael Schiavo was virtually used up in providing care for Terri. If he were in it for the money, he would have accepted the second offer of the money from a few weeks ago that was offered by a wealthy individual. There is no evidence to support any other conclusion other than that he felt strongly about honoring his wife's wishes. The easy way, in the face of all this, would have been for him to sign off as her guardian and turn it over to his in-laws. He could have done that and been free to pursue his life. His Mother in Law even encouraged him to do so.

I agree with GUEST from the great north, this is a case of a man determined to do what he felt his wife wanted.

A pox on the rest. Especially the politicians who leached onto the situation. In pursuit of their heartless agenda, they put their colleagues in a bad place and forced them to vote on a matter that had no business being before them. Political gain and conservative agenda pushers used this family and their sadness for their own ends. As a Christian, I am certain they will answer for that one day. As a voter, I urge everyone to help that day to come soon.
