OK, maybe Walt and Mearsheimer were the first guys over the barbed wire, and they left their bodies there. No one’s allowed to touch their ideas now. They were bad and wrong. Worse: controversial. OK. Well, comes now Barack Obama with his weirdass background and his couple slips about Palestinians, and the Jewish leadership is worried, says the Jewish Advocate—
"Given his heritage, background and upbringing, there is no question
that he’d be more open than the other candidates to arguments from
different perspectives and viewpoints and not hold the standard party
line regarding Israel and the Jewish community,” said the Rebbe, Grand
Rabbi Y. A. Korff.
Party line?
In the race for the American presidency, securing support from Jewish
leaders has become a valuable tool in swaying Jewish voters…
Leaders? The article cites Steve Grossman, an important fundraiser. He says Obama seems OK, but he’s a bit unknown.
It is the senator’s relatively unknown status that raises doubts in the
minds of Jewish voters, according to Steve Grossman, former chair of
the Democratic National Committee and of AIPAC, and a staunch supporter
of Hillary Clinton.
Last year Grossman attacked Desmond Tutu for saying Palestinians are oppressed. AIPAC. Party line. Jewish leaders. Jewish givers. Isn’t it time for some mainstream journalism about the alleged Israel lobby?
