Obama's Durban gambit
Jewish World Review ^ | 2/21/09 | Caroline B. Glick

Some might argue that no Israeli interest is served by openly condemning the White House. But when the White House is participating in a process that legitimizes and so advances the war against the Jewish state, such condemnation is not only richly deserved but required http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | While most Americans were busy celebrating Valentine's Day, last Saturday the Obama administration announced that it would be sending a delegation to Geneva to participate in planning the UN's so-called Durban II conference, scheduled to take place in late April. Although largely overlooked in the US, the announcement sent shock-waves through Jerusalem. The Durban II conference was announced in the summer of 2007. Its stated purpose is to review the implementation of the declaration adopted at the UN's anti-Israel hate fest that took place in Durban, South Africa the week before the September 11, 2001 attacks against America. At Durban, both the UN-sponsored NGO conclave and the UN's governmental conference passed declarations denouncing Israel as a racist state. The NGO conference called for a coordinated international campaign aimed at delegitimizing Israel and the right of the Jewish people to self-determination, and belittling the Holocaust.

Just Damn. I do not give up, but it is not easy to keep the faith. I would pray for G_d to forgive them, but I believe they know exactly what they are doing. Just Damn.

I have supported Israel, voted for candidates that supported Israel, but a lot of Jewish voters voted for Obama knowing full well he was surrounded by anti-Israel supporters. What are they saying about this? Sound of crickets chirping. I don’t get it and never will. Republicans support Israel and the vast majority of Jewish voters vote for liberal Dems.

For many Jews, being a democRAT is their religion.
