Yesterday's Jerusalem Post Op Ed piece by Marc Stanley Chairman National Jewish Democratic Council gave American Jews some interesting advice; even if President Obama is screwing Israel, we should just lie down and enjoy it. The Democratic chair's myopic "no matter what" support of President Obama's policy toward Israel is wrong for the United States, the future of Jewry in America, and Israel.
Stanley tries to take on the Jews who are disappointed with the President's performance by through name calling and quotes without context. For example
US President Barack Obama and his administration are making an unprecedented effort to reach out to the Jewish community. The president has made moving the Middle East toward peace a priority and has spoken of the "unbreakable" bond we share with Israel. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons "futile," and last week Obama had some of his most senior foreign policy figures meet with top Israeli officials - in Israel.
Lets take a look at that paragraph. Yes the President has spoken of the unbreakable bond we share with Israel, Then he proceeded to make Israel a pariah of Nations, by breaking a pre-existing agreement with Israel over settlements, and publicly bashed Israel for sticking to the agreement over natural growth of settlements.
Clinton did call Iran's pursuit of nukes "futile", but then went on to say that America would protect its allies with its defense umbrella, indicating that the US would accept a nuclear Iran.

Why did the Jews, with rare exceptions, go quietly onto the [Nazi] cattle cars?
Elie Weisel - loves Obama. I bet Elie loved Bernie Madoff until Bernie stole all of his money. Was he one of Bernie’s money laundering clients?
Abe Foxman at the ADL bashes Geert Wilders of Holland who has the guts to stand up against Islamification in Holland. Many American Jews like Pam Geller (web site), Joyce Kaufman (radio) and others have been major supporters of Wilders.
Liberal American Jews would gladly march to the death camps if Hussein Obama gave them the order. It is a pathological sickness.
Amazingly - the Jewish vote usually supports the RATS. If Obama was a Republican..there would be hand wringing about how terrible he is.
The Clinton's favorite guest at the White House & Camp David was Arafat - so why would Hillary suddenly be doing things to benefit Israel!!
Some people never learn & by now, if the Holocaust was not a lesson learned - the destruction of Israel, with the approval of the RATS should be something to think about!!
The same reason Christians did.
It's relevant to the subject how?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

For the same reason you also will go quietly in the near future.
Huh?
Because they’re far more concerned with appearing (to non-Jews) that they’re fair, open-minded and sophisticated enough to criticize (i.e., bash) Israel.
They are SO afraid of how they appear (in terms of Israel and support for Israel) to non-Jews that they’re willing to sell out Israel in order to maintain appearances.
Sad. Most "non-Jews" are so busy living their own lives that they really don't care what Jews think about anything. Ask the next truck driver you meet how he perceives Jews...
I think Jews, as a group, are probably the most intelligent people on Earth. How they buy into communism, socialism, collectivism, Democrat Party hype, etc. is beyond me. I fear that trait, and that trait alone, has caused Jews more problems in history than any other attribute. They threaten the ability of other social groups to gather surplus (wealth) while the, themselves, enjoy surplus. And, predictably, that perception, alone, sets off negative reactions among the Goyim... "Have lots, yet close the door on us?" Not a good strategy...
The main reason is that they were, in the large majority of situations, unarmed civilians, facing a military force that was heavily armed. The only practical means for possible survival in these situations - and it was a long shot - would have been to stay alive until rescued.
Leftist Jews, like all leftists, do threaten the ability of all people - including Jews - to "gather surplus." Not all Jews "enjoy surplus," many would like to "gather" more, but can be harmed financially by leftist government economic insanity, just like anyone else.
Regrettably, you are engaging in stereotypical ethnic thinking.
Who Knew!
