More than 250 Congressmen, including 76 senators, have signed a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, telling him “that peace cannot come while terrorism continues to wrack Israel.”
“The notion that Obama was linking Jerusalem's negotiations with Palestinians to its ability to thwart nuclear annihilation rankled many in the Jewish and non-Jewish Israel support community,” New York Times journalist Edwin Black wrote. “In a word, Israel has gone over the president’s head and appealed directly to the Congress.”

Obozo in in deep shizzle, and doesn’t even realize it yet.
It’s so clear that the Zero’s sympathies lie with the Palestinian terrorists and not with the Israel democracy. He’s no friend of Israel, and nor are many democrats.
Well, he’ll probably respond the same way President Bush did with the no confidence vote of the American public on immigration...
BUMP!
Has anyone seen a similar story in the American press?? Just curious....
Obama consulting Koran as we speak.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Nope. Would seem to be news. Oh, wait a sec. If true, it would not look good for the 0ne. Not news then per al-MSM...
I wonder if the MSM is hoping it’ll not gain traction if they ignore it? It seems in any sane world 75 senators would get noticed.
Would seem so. It was mentioned in the NY Times and Drudge has a link. Oh well, I’m used to the bias.
Your link to the Letter doies not work. Can you repost. Thanks

Dear Mr. President:
We are writing out of our shared concern over 60 years of conflict in the Middle East, and a mutual desire to see peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors. While the obstacles are formidable, we agree with you that every effort should be made to realize that peace.
Many years of strong, principled US engagement led to historic peace treaties between Israel and both Egypt and Jordan. We believe that achievement of a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians requires adherence to some key principles. These include an understanding that while the United States has an important role to play, the parties themselves are the ones who will need to negotiate and live with whatever agreement is reached. As we work closely with our democratic ally, Israel, we must take into account the risks it will face in any peace agreement. Without a doubt, our two governments will agree on some issues and disagree on others, but the United States friendship with Israel requires that we work closely together as we recommit ourselves to our historic role of a trusted friend and active mediator.
We must also continue to insist on the absolute Palestinian commitment to ending terrorist violence and to building the institutions necessary for a viable Palestinian state living side-by-side, in peace with the Jewish state of Israel. The more capable and responsible Palestinian forces become, the more they demonstrate the ability to govern and to maintain security, the easier it will be for them to reach an accord with Israel. We encourage you to continue programs similar to the promising security assistance and training program led by Lieutenant General Keith Dayton, and hope that you will look for other ways to improve Palestinian security and civilian infrastructure.
Finally, we hope that you will promote far greater involvement and participation by the Arab states both in moving toward normal ties with Israel and in encouraging moderate Palestinian elements. Everyone in the region has a stake in the success of these negotiations and should contribute to a lasting and comprehensive resolution.
We look forward to working closely with you on these critical issues.
