San Diego Jewish groups decry disinvitation of rabbi from MLK Day event over ‘concerns about potential disruption related to Zionism’

JL;DR SUMMARY San Diego Jewish groups have criticized the organizers of a local Martin Luther King Day event after Rabbi Hanan Leberman was disinvited.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
