An Open Letter to American Jews

An Open Letter to American Jews: "I tried to alert you two years ago to Obama’s Muslim Connection and to Obama’s Marxist Connection and together with other bloggers, made some headway. In fact, Jewish support for Obama dropped as low as 56%. As a result, Obama called on some key Jewish supporters to vouch for him. Alan Dershowitz, Robert Wexler (D-Fl), Martin Peretz and Ed Koch, among others, stepped up to the plate. Not to be outdone, Rabbis for Obama was formed and it managed to get 400 Rabbis, mostly Reform, to sign a letter in support of Obama and decrying the “lies and smears”.

Jewish support for Obama rebounded. Alarmed, I warned that Jews can’t vote for Obama and be pro-Israel at the same time. In great detail I explained why. To no avail. Seventy eight percent of you voted for Obama. Either you felt there was no conflict between the two, or your support for party and abortion rights trumped your support for Israel. After all, how bad could it be?

Now we know. Real bad.

That is unless you ascribe to the views of J-Street and Israel Policy Forum who fully support Obama’s attack on Israel as being “pro-Israel” or unless you support Obama’s outreach to Muslims which distorts history and reality and seeks to replace Israel with Muslim countries in a special relationship with the US or unless you are fully in support of replacing “Global War on Terror” with “Overseas Contingency Operation”, removing “Islamic extremism” from National Security Strategy Document and treating terrorists as criminals, rather than enemy combatants.

A year ago I charged that Obama was upgrading the US relationship with the Muslim world, thereby necessitating downgrading her relationship with Israel and set out a strong bill of indictment.

In order to understand what took place thereafter in terms of Obama’s moves against Israel, you must understand the conflict from Israel’s perspective."
