Obamas top presidential campaign advisers are putting together a plan to go on the offensive against critics of his stance on Israel, Im told, and are assembling a team of high profile surrogates who are well respected in the Jewish community to battle criticism in the media and ensure that it doesnt go unanswered.
Obamas supporters say the plan is in effect an acknowledgment that conservative attacks on Obamas Israel stance have made defections among Jewish voters and donors a possibility they must take seriously. Obamas advisers see a need to push back even harder on the attacks than they did in 2008, in part because Obama now has a record on the issue to defend a record that even Obamas supporters concede has not been adequately explained.
A group of well-known figures in the Jewish community has been in discussions with senior Obama adviser David Axelrod about how to respond to the criticism, which is expected to intensify as the campaign heats up. Among them: Alan Solow, the former head of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; former Congressmen Mel Levine and Robert Wexler; and executive Penny Pritzker.

The frightening thing is that Obama is not the Anti-Christ. Obama is absolutely evil in everything he attempts to do, and he hates freedom, hates America, hates Jews, and hates Israel, but that's not enough for him to be the Anti-Christ. When we face that adversary, we will find that the real Anti-Christ is also far more intelligent and successful in his malignant destruction than Obama. Instead of a pathetic hateful failure, we will eventually face a capable hateful destroyer. If the Anti-Christ could choose, I'm sure he would look at Obama and say "it is time", but fortunately that decision is in better hands.
Obama always says BOTH sides of every issue (except abortion) and I’m sure he will have a MUSLIM group to sway the Muslim voters.....the stupid Jews have blinders on because they hate Christians way more than they do Muslims, who want them DEAD!!
I hear ya!!!
The call of Jerusalem says you are wrong.
Most anti Israeli president since Israels inception.
And still American Jews will come out like lemming and pull the lever for obammy again.
Makes it very hard to give a rats ass about Israel When American Jews don’t give a hoot for it and its survival.
Obama still has at least 18 months to fulfill prophesy and bring the USA to it's knees and destroy Israel by 2012. I think Obama and his minions from Hell are right on schedule.
Are there any US Jewish critics of Obamas Israel stance?>>>>>>>
There are millions of liberal Jews who are against it. They may still vote Democrat but many will be ditching the Kenyan occupant of the White House. I am Jewish and know this much. And FOAD to the freepers who say Jewish Americans would vote for Hitler if he had Democrat before his name
Lenny Bruce once said that America has orthodox Jews,observant Jews,reformed Jews and Jews who are so reformed they are no longer Jewish.
This was back in 1961—guess which of the above have grown the most?
And yet they all expect God’s mercy when they pass.
The Kenyan lizard king’s bumper sticker will read “I don’t hate Jews”.
Very believable.
I do so every chance I get.
That's been addressed here many times.
The brief answer is that the vast majority of my US co-religionists are descended from folks who fled violent anti-semitic attacks in central and east Europe and Russia around the turn of the last century. At that time, the only ideology that opposed the attacks (many of which had been instigated/approved by various churches and monarchs) was nascent secular socialism. It was that political system those fleeing took with them to our shores.
My family came to the US after Hitler's genocide, so I have a very very different view of "National Socialism".
Remember,any Leftist,be they Jew or Gentile,is a mortal threat to America.So sometimes in our patriot passion we exaggerate.” >>>>>>>>
Yeah and I realize they are in semi-trolling hyperbole mode when they say American Jews would vote for Hitler if he ran as a Democrat. My father fought against Hitler, many American Jews are alive who fought against Hitler and most might be liberal. They wouldn’t vote for Hitler. It is a gross insult to them
I know a 93 year old Jewish guy who was a tail gunner on our bombers in the Pacific. He won’t be voting for Hitler though he is a liberal. He and his wife voted Obama even though I tried to get them not to.
Plus most liberal Jews are pro-Israel and support it though some in misguided ways. You can be lib Democrat and still be pro-Israel, contrary to what freepers like to post.
What do you not understand about Obama being in a hole and proceeding to dig it deeper?
Freepers need to read up on the massive and periodic pogroms in Russia and Poland etc. The Jews there turned to the left and socialism and communism as a protection response to the pogroms and other anti-Jew oppression. When those Jews immigrated here they tended to be leftists and socialists so joined the Democrat party. They wanted the best for humanity but with retrospect we can see this was (and is) the wrong way to go
My grandparents fled to avoid being conscripted into the Czar’s army. The royalty was roughly on the side of those who mounted pogroms
Personally, I've not encountered many folks like that.
