hypercrites

When you are surrounded by millions who want to eradicate your country, and kill off all the Jews with nuclear weapons strong criticism is forgivable.

A game of chess for the Jewish vote

In this chess game over the American Jewish vote, Netanyahu is not necessarily the king. This week in Pennsylvania, I met with some Republican Jewish Coalition activists engaged in a door-to-door campaign, trying to persuade Jewish voters disappointed with Obama that they have every reason to vote for Mitt Romney (or, more precisely, against Obama ). There were T-shirts and banners ("Oi vey, Obama. Had enough?" ), "Mitt-zvah" buttons, leaflets dropped at thousands of Jewish household doors, systematic phone banking, and less than a few people who could propose any reasonable alternative to the policies being pursued by the current administration.

After the usual 'Obama is not a friend of Israel' tirade, mentioning that the President is "not in love" with Israel, and his strained relationship with the Israeli leader; dismissing his administration's support for the "Iron Dome" anti-missile batteries ("It's the Congress, not Obama" ), and his administration's vetoing or voting against anti-Israeli resolutions at the UN ("If it was up to Obama, he would surely vote for it" ) - I asked one of the activists for his solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was hesitant. "I know what is NOT an answer - pressure on Israel!" he finally said. Fine, I said, no pressure, but what is a viable option, other than the two-state solution based on 1967 borders with mutually agreed swaps? One state? Palestinian bantustans? The answer was sort of "the Israeli leader knows better." Now, does he?
