David Harris of the American Jewish Committee is on the case, dancing in blood:
Rather than heed the warnings, however, Hamas leaders continued the attacks and taunted Israel to retaliate. Now Israel has – by targeting military and security bases in Gaza…
“Hamas has only itself to blame for the current events. Its leaders, choosing to pursue terror against Israel
rather than the welfare of the Palestinian people, have brought it on.
They believed they could repeatedly attack Israeli towns and villages
with impunity, while counting on Israeli restraint.
Where the hell are IPF or J Street or Americans for Peace Now? All silent. Where is liberal American Jewry?
Wait, here’s something: MJ Rosenberg on TPM Cafe:
Barack Obama starts fresh. He needs to make clear where he stands. Is
American policy just going to be the same as under Bush, i.e whatever
Israel does is fine. Or is he going to tell both sides what he expects
them to do, starting with an end to violence, terror, and blockade.
Enough is enough. It’s time for the honest broker to step in. That is
Obama. His credibility is at stake, along with all those innocent kids
under bombardment.
