I really hope you're right Phil, but I have a feeling you are once again being too optimistic.

Did you by any chance get voted most likely to be a motivational speaker in your senior year of high school?

Phil, after observing how 'your people' operate for lo a half century, I rather doubt that anything close to a candid discussion about The Jews (or their lobby) will ever occur. The Russerts and Wolf Blitzers are drooling in wait for Obama, who hasn't inspired much hope to the majority of Americans who want us out of Iraq.

What will happen instead is that Hillary will demagogue the issue into one of "Do you support our little ally Israel, or don't you? Pulling out of Iraq will leave poor little Israel all alone, etc etc etc."

If you want a foretaste of the sophistry to come, merely observe how the recent killing of 120 Palestinians by a sophisticated war-machine has not produced even a ripple of empathy in America, whereas the death of one Jew by a crudely made rocket is trumpeted about the mother-land. Proof indeed of The Jewing of America - because most of 'your people' really don't give a rip about other human life.

Too much is being made of Obama's anti-Likudnik comments (which really were something new and different), while the so-called Jewish doves pay no attention to Obama's business-as-usual stances: endorsement of targeted assassination; rejection of Hamas as a negotiating partner; support for Israel's war on Lebabon; and (in other venues) his promises to escalate the Afghan war.

This is the same old nonsense. The dam of lies has not broken.

In fairness, if Obama was obliged to reject and denounce Farrakhan's endorsement, then McCain should be asked to reject and denounce HIS endorsement by the war criminal Bush.

I have no doubt Hillary will pounce on Obama on this issue. I also have no doubt Obama will bend over backwards to prove Hillary wrong. Obama let Hillary walk all over him on an issue — Nafta — for which she bore higher responsibility; there's little chance that he will be able to hold his line on this far more trickier issue.

And yeah, don't forget to check out what a fine job 'liberals' are doing of defending Obama. Presumably the Likud position is sacrosanct even among US liberals.

All you need to know about Hillary is summed up in her servile May 2005 address to AIPAC, which is still posted on her website. Excerpts:

------------

Our future here in this country is intertwined with the future of Israel and the Middle East. Israel is not only, however, a friend and ally for us, it is a beacon of what democracy can and should mean.

There is no doubt that America has started down a path, with blood and treasure, to try to create the condition for democracy and freedom in the Middle East -- which has consequences for the entire region, for our security, and certainly for Israel's.

------------

Horrifying. Our future is "entwined with Israel and the Middle East" only because the Israeli Firsters of Congress have made it so. If it weren't for parliamentary immunity, Hillary would be risking treason charges for this speech.

All is not in favor of Israel Phil. Arab terrorists are far more likely to be tortured by America than their Israeli terrorist counterparts.

Are Americas New Torture Practices Discriminatory?

Ralph Nader criticized Obama for shifting his position away from support for Palestinian self-determination rights [after Obama became a member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee] on the Meet The Press show a few weeks ago. And, as a member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama hasn't called for the same type of hearing about the special influence of the Lobby that were held in the 1960s when Senator Fulbright was on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In addition, despite Obama's apparent pro-Israeli Labor Party/anti-Likud position, he apparently is still unwilling to talk with Hamas activists. So I wouldn't be too optimistic about an Obama administration actually being able to change U.S. foreign policy priorities in the Middle East very much.

Phil,
I think the only hope that America ever change its support of Israel by even a jot or tittle, and it is a very slim one indeed, is John McCain aided by James (ftJ) Baker.

Certainly no Democrat is ever going to do it.
