Obama 'Reaches Out to Jews' but Excludes Strong Zionists
Israel National News ^ | July 12, 2009 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

U.S. President Barack Obama, worried over increasing criticism from Jewish supporters because of soft talk on Iran and a tough stance against Jews in Judea and Samaria, has invited Jewish leaders for a talk Monday. Among those attending is the strongly dovish J Street lobby.

The president excluded the strongly nationalist National Council of Young Israel (YI) and Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), sources told Israel National News.

dovish J Street lobby

J Street is $oro$ response to the "hawkish AIPAC". It's an astroturfed anti-Israel lobby from Soros, by Soros, for Soros.

The National Council of Young Israel is a pretty big omission, basically excluding all Modern Orthodox Jews.

This is reminiscent of when Obama invited “conservative” commentators to dinner - thereby choosing who he feels is legitimate.

He would not dare make such an omission with his Muslim chums.

It’s a divide-and-conquer tactic, and you can clearly see who it is that 0 wishes to divide.

...their [American Jewry's] influence has been largely felt through the upstart Jerusalem Street lobby, heavily funded by billionaire George Soros, who opposes a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.

Nazi collaborater, George Soros, staffed his J Street group with wealthy bums like Stephen Bing, whose claim to fame is that he knocked up Elizabeth Hurley.

Reminiscent of the “anti-semetic sect” of Jews, as chronicled by the prophets Parker and Stone, in their epic, “Jewbilee.”

My guess is that the heads of these Jewish groups had to swear that there would be no criticism of Obama as a condition for a seat at the table today. You can pretty much be assured that, following the meeting, there will be only praise for the Messiah heard from them.

...claim to fame is that he knocked up Elizabeth Hurley.

I admit to always having the hots for her.

Back to serious matters, Zero is trying to do the impossible: Destroy Israel while telling its supporters here he is doing no such thing.

Yet another intelligence to see if Jews are smart.

Jews still continue to support this President with a 70+ rating.

Which makes me wonder why we try so damn hard for Israel, when she gives nothing back to our side a) electorally and b) security wise

Israel cannot "give" the US anything "electorally". The number of US votes cast there is trivial.

As for security, we have treaties and obligations extending back more than half a century.

The support from American Jews is far from trivial.

They are the biggest and most loyal supporters of liberal causes in America, both with fundraising and how the message gets out through the MSM.

Electorally, supporting Israel so staunchly does nothing. President Obama of all people maintains a 70%+ approval rating amongst American Jews, 2nd only to American Muslims and their 80%+ approval of the President

You mistakenly assume Zero’s Jewish backers here give a damn about Israel. Few do.

I said this earlier.

If Jews care about this they should call Congress and Obama and complain. They can accuse Obama of excluding religious Jews.

If Jews do not do this then they are tacitly letting J Street represent them and J Street is giving Obama cover.
