Obama is NO supporter of Israel or the Jewish people. Period.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Pro-Israel organizans should be non-partisan, their purpose being support of Israel, not one or the other political party. However this doesn't compel groups or individuals to ignore political issues, such as the administration's policy toward Israel. Were that the case, they could simply go out of business. A call to abandon advocacy for Israel in favor of neutrality on issues where there's a political difference between political parties is highly political in itself. Essentially requiring an abandonment of Israel in favor of politics, in this case Democrat politics. Funny, I've never heard a similar call when it came to criticizing Republicans.
I do not think that American Jews follow “Jewish leaders.”. Except of course chasids with a rebbe.
Sadly, Jews in Hollywood have more influence over liberal Jews than do religious leaders.
“Jewish Leaders” haven’t lost their political bearings. What poppycock! They are simply being good little liberals just like ALWAYS.
As a non-Jew, but a strong supporter of Israel, I will never for the life of me understand why Jews (in general) support the Democrats. I’m 39 and the Dems have been anti-Israel for my entire lifetime.
The Jewish leaders are like the NOW leaders — more interested in defending the interests of socialism than the ostensible reason for their organizations.
These Jewish “leaders” are JINOs of the first order. They couldn’t lead themselves out of a brown paper bag. They are, always have been, and probably always will be, a sideshow of irrelevance. They represent themselves, and their mailing list of wealthy donors.
The first sentence mentions, “the quartet”, which is at risk of leaving Israel.
What is, “the quartet” ?
It may be even worse than this author describes. The “Unity Pact” may be borne out of fear that if they don’t back Obama, Obama will go even harder against Israel than he already has. A policy based on fear is not likely going to be a good policy.
