Elzufon also touched on Islamic radicalism and the role it plays in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<br><br>A former president of the Jewish Federation of Delaware from 2000-2002 and the chair of the Jewish Community Relations Committee for state of Delaware since 2008, John Elzufon earned his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
