Obama was never on the side of Israel. He weakly campaigned that he was and all the good dems believed him. He sides with the Pali’s as does the Rev. Wright, Farakan and many others of that ilk.
The Israelis know this, but American jews haven’t figured it out yet.
‘The Israelis know this, but American jews haven’t figured it out yet.’
Too true. American Jews have become quite secular in their views (odd thing to say, I know). They give all the appearance of being an ethnic group that is quite detached from their historic roots and, I fear, their own religion.
Given this “disconnect”, it is easy to see their disinterest in the state of Israel. A group that has no affinity (and indeed, a disinterest in the State of Israel) can hardly be considered to be Jewish. It is a reflexively determined identity that has no connection with their own religion, which accounts for viewing themselves as being only distantly related by blood, and not religion or philosophy.
These are not the kind of people that I would care to share a trench with on the Golan.
