Lament: Young American Jews No Longer ‘Blindly Follow Israeli Leadership’

Comes now an Israeli who laments that Barack Obama is not owned enough by the Israel lobby:

We are about to see a president who has nothing to do with Judaism, Jews, and the State of Israel.

He doesn’t know Malcolm Hoenlein (executive vice chairman of the
Conference of Presidents), he is not scared of Abe Foxman (head of the
Anti-Defamation League,) he has not delivered speeches on behalf of the
Israel Bonds, and he has not traveled as the guest of the Jewish
National Fund…
he
is not Bill Clinton (who was like a member of the Jewish Federation,)
and he is not Bush Jr. (who was like a former fighter in Ariel Sharon’s
unit.)

Yippee. And laments the demographic problem. Our demographics:

American
Jewry is not what it used to be when it comes to its attachment to
Israel, and the generation of the children and grandchildren no longer
blindly follows Israel’s leadership, its speeches and demands.

Because of the oppression of Palestinians, dude. Get right with the lord.
