Candidate for US Senate in Florida Blasts Zionists

COLUMNIST/TALK SHOW HOST/FLORIDA REPUBLICAN PARTY U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE ANDY MARTIN CONDEMNS PALM BEACH SYNAGOGE FOR SPONSORING
RACIST ISRAELI LAWYER



(Washington, DC) Nationally syndicated radio columnist Andy Martin, the only announced 2004 Republican Party candidate for U.S.
Senator from Florida, will hold a news conference at his temporary headquarters, Suite 111, 1574 S. Ocean Lane. Ft. Lauderdale,
FL at 1:00 P.M. Wednesday, January 23rd to condemn a Tel Aviv attorney who is speaking at the Palm Beach Synagogue in Palm Beach
on January 23rd. Martin is responding to a report in the Palm Beach Post (January 22, 2003).

"I think it is very unfortunate that synagogues and Jewish groups are apparently providing a platform for frivolous litigation
and a 'nut case' lawyer from Tel Aviv, Nitsana Darsham-Leitner, who is propagating a racist agenda. The fact that the Palm Beach
Synagogue is hosting this clown tears at the fabric of close and cooperative Jewish/Christian relations that has been
established in Palm Beach. Leitner's lawsuits, which claim that helping Palestinians amount to supporting terrorism, are a joke.

"Except in Washington, where Israelis are groveling for more blood money to murder helpless women and children in Palestine, the
entire world condemns American policy in the Middle East.

"The real problem in the Middle East is not that Europeans are supporting sanity, it is that craven Israelis have agitated many
well-intentioned but misguided American Jews to fund a policy of racism, imperialism, colonialism and terrorism by the Sharon
junta.

"Lawsuits are not a solution to the illegal occupation of Palestine. Negotiations are; withdrawals are; and end to the
occupation is. I hope that the Palm Beach Synagogue and other Jewish organizations will reconsider providing a forum for racism
in their holy sanctuaries. Allowing racist dogma undermines efforts for interfaith relations and unity," Martin states.

Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" is a fulcrum of foreign policy debate, political analysis and
contemporary commentary on the Internet. It is on a holiday hiatus and returns to the airwaves shortly.

Martin's program draws an international audience and has included foreign diplomats as guests. He is a respected voice in
America's intelligence community. He has traveled through the Middle East. His foreign experience includes Europe, Iran and
Asia, and Air America. He is the only talk show host who supports Palestinian nationalism and the Israeli peace movement.

Martin is a military security and intelligence consultant; he studied under the late Bernard Fall and founded the Revolutionary
War Research Center. Martin served as an assistant to former Illinois U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas. He has been involved in
various aspects of broadcasting for 34 years. He also served as an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York.
Martin's radio program "Andy Martin's America" covers national and international matters. See Out2.com (Govt. & Politics) for
