We collectively stand in tremendous support of the First Amendment," he said. "This has many members of the Jewish community frightened. When you say, 'Death to Israel,' it speaks death to Jews. We're deeply saddened to see that form of ugly bigotry express itself here in Salt Lake City." Its too bad this guy has to coin his campaign with "Death to Israel". It gets him the wrong attention and plays into the hands of Israel supporters.

Meanwhile, in the local press..... Abandoned woman roams city with her three children By Emmanuelle Landais, Staff Reporter gulfnews.com Dubai: A woman and her three children have been living out of a rental car after her husband took a second wife, changed the locks of her house and threw her out. He has refused to divorce her and pay the necessary allowance. For the last five days R.M, 31, who ironically works for a real estate company has been homeless and living in a car with her three young children ages two to seven. R.M, who asked to remain anonymous, said her husband threw her out of the family home in Umm Al Quwain on August 8 after beating her. "He told me two months ago that he had married a woman five months ago and I had to leave. He put me and our children in a house in Ajman but three weeks ago he changed the locks and said we had to leave. A removal van came and took all our things," said R.M. After suffering physical abuse and with nowhere to go, R.M. filed a complaint with Ajman police. "There is nothing more they could do and told me to go to a hotel but I have an overdraft on my credit card and I can't afford to do that," she said. R.M. said she has a hearing scheduled with the Sharia court for September 10 but her husband is refusing to divorce her. "He has remarried and that is fine but he has responsibilities towards his children and he should divorce me. If he divorces me he has to pay me. He said he doesn't want to give me any money and said that I should divorce him, but then I receive nothing. This is not fair. I have rights and I have my babies to look after," she said, speaking on the steps of a mosque in Deira. R.M. said she was able to stay with her sister for about 10 days, but with six children of her own she felt she was too much of a burden and decided to leave. Her in-laws have offered her no support, she said. "I'm living in my car. I need to go to work. I leave the children with my sister sometimes," she said. During the day R.M. said she roams in parks and takes refuge in mosques to change her clothes. "I try and go to different places. I feel so ashamed I don't want people to see us. I can't keep the car running all the time so we go to gardens," she said. She said she had not spoken to her company or any support groups or imams because she is too mortified. As of yesterday, however, a women's shelter has taken her in with her three children.
