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.

“After his return from Africa this weekend, Obama will be receiving a delegation of American Jewish community leaders Monday afternoon,” Ben Smith of Politco.com reported. “Israel and Iran are likely to be on the agenda,” he added.

If they had the slightest shred of self-respect they wouldn’t attend.

In Obama's world a good Jew is one who looks for a place to have pork egg rolls on Christmas. A bad Jew is one who looks for a bomb shelter when Hamas or Hezbollah rockets are flying.

Obama reaching out to Jews is like, IMO, Hitler offering wooden bars of soap to millions of Jews as they were marched to their gas-filled showers.

Obama knows where his votes are. It will be a cold day in h3ll before he reaches out to Christians.

strongly dovish J Street

Well there is a new euphemism.

JStreet is to pro-Israel as Swine is to Kosher.

That's really something, he invites JStreet but excludes Young Israel- which is a pillar of mainstream Modern Orthodoxy.

I hope that the Ground Zero mosque and its dubious sources of funding will be on the agenda, as well.

Godzilla reaches out to Tokyo residents, gives them warm greetings and invites them to informal dinner, declining to invite military personnel behind heavy artillery.
