Op-Ed: Palin's policies reflect Americans' spirit on Israel
JTA ^ | April 18, 2010 | Benyamin Korn

Posted on 04/18/2010 4:38:54 PM PDT by opentalk

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) -- The Obama administration's tilt against Israel, its tacit acceptance of a nuclear-armed Iran and its weak approach to combating Islamic terrorism all pose a direct challenge to Jewish Americans.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has described the "Obama doctrine" in U.S. foreign policy as "coddling our enemies while alienating allies." Palin has emerged as the leading public voice in opposition to President Obama's dangerous new direction.

For these reasons, my colleagues and I are launching a national organization of Jewish Americans for Sarah Palin, supported by the new Web site JewsforSarah.com -- Home Page for Jewish Independents.

JASP is comprised of academic, religious and community leaders who are dedicated to promoting consideration of Palin's policy positions in the wider American Jewish community. We are unconnected to any political campaign or fund-raising organization.

We find Palin's positions on Israel, Iran, national security, fiscal responsibility, energy and social policy -- as well as her record on these issues as governor of Alaska and candidate for vice president of the United States -- to be serious, substantive and politically mainstream.

Though not at present a candidate for any office, Palin's track record in public office has been exemplary and has withstood the test of the most demanding scrutiny of investigative news media.

In her time, Margaret Thatcher was first dismissed as unintelligent, unsophisticated, the wrong gender and incapable of taking her place among the world's statesmen. In the end she proved her detractors wrong and restored Britain's economic, political and national security institutions to their former greatness. Today and for posterity, she is reckoned among the handful of pivotal world leaders of the late 20th century.

My heart sings! Answered prayers.

Sarah Palin certainly has no problem understanding who our allies are and their importance to us, as opposed to the current occupant of the WH.

I was reading tonight one of the best-kept secrets among Ronald Reagan's speeches, his election-eve speech to the nation on Nov. 3, 1980 -- "A Vision for America". He understood the value of our friends, including Israel:

"To our Canadian neighbors who so recently rescued Americans in Teheran, to the people of Great Britain to whom ties of blood, language and culture bind so closely, to the people of France who midwifed our birth as a nation, to the people of Germany and Japan with whom we bound up the wounds of war, to the people of Ireland and Italy and all the ethnic communities whose national heritages have enriched this nation and become our own, to the people of Israel with whom we enjoy the closest of friendships, to the people of Latin America, Australia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea—to all our allies great and small, we say tonight: at last the sleeping giant stirs and is filled with resolve—a resolve that we will win together our struggle for world peace—our struggle for the human spirit. "
Pray for our nation.

Thank you, dear Al B. Reading RWR’s words gave me the good kind of chills. She’s the closest we have to him and I think he knows it.

I believe it is time for American Jews to declare independence from the DNC.

good luck with all that...nothing personal but always rubs me wrong

it’s just dandy that libtard Jews (not Levins)predominate the Vanguard of American Progressivism ...the America is a Crime...a white Christian one....but yet when Obama acts like the wanker he is towards Israel then they should dash to Conservatism ...

really?

so Conservatism or true America is not OK by it’s own merits?

but if the Left acts against Israel then we look all better now?

so where do the loyalties actually lie?

towards American traditional values and relatively moral world dominance or towards an administration that is nice to their kin in Islrael even if they are destroying us at home?

I don’t like it.

sorry

Israel should tell the U.S. not to build any more houses in the “occupied” territories of California, Texas, Arizona or New Mexico.

Let’s see how that would go over.

there is a very long road between liberal Jews who think Howard Zinn, Saul Alinsky and Noam Chomsky are a-ok getting angry over one single issue (Israel) which has little to do with the battle here at home over the soul of my country and now supporting Sarah Palin simply over her pro-Israel stance and them suddenly eschewing intergenerational progressivism and becoming conservatives on my side of the culture war.

i’ll take their vote but it stinks, they are doing it for Israel not their own country and their progressivism in our ranks will harm us

these are not Mark Levin or even Bill Kristol which is probably one of the most unfortunate demographic faustian bargains I’ve witnessed in my half century by a peoples I do think are indeed smarter than average Caucasians

for the record: unlike many Christian rightists here I do not support Israel because of that...I support them because I know them and they deserve it in a neighborhood of savages with the exception of some Lebanese and the Jordanian royals.

“I believe it is time for American Jews to declare independence from the DNC.”

Ditto for Black Americans. The Democratic Party has used them to gain power and keep them dependent, rather than independent.
