.The Ford Foundation, The New Israel Fund, etc... Is foreign money funding anti-Israel organizations to the detriment of the Jewish State? And why isn't this story hitting the prime time news? Sr. News Editor, Gil Ronen talks about what others don't want you to know. Plus: Bugsy Siegel, Dutch Schultz, & Meyer Lansky were American Jewish gangsters - but they made sure their kids became upstanding citizens and professionals that didn't follow in their footsteps. Dr. Robert Rockaway joins Tamar and talks about his book, "But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters ". Thought Jews were nerdy? This book talks about brute strength, nerves of steel and a hit-man - who tried not to whack people on Shabbos! This book introduces one to killers and mobsters who thought of themselves more like business men, and is presented in an ironic, sometimes humorous way that keeps this book a page turner.
