Did you see the editorial in Ha'aretz today? They think Obama should take his case directly to the Israeli
public. Talk about Obamania!!! From the Hebrew comments I would say
that the President would not be treated kindly. But who
knows? Maybe he can perform some more Obamagic even in Israel.
It was great to see JStreet and Americans for Peace Now included in the
meeting at the White House. I think it was a real victory. Jeremy Ben-Ami from JStreet
sure got some awesome face time in the press. Debkafile says J Street has a direct line to Rahm and Alexrod. I think the Obamen have always
thought of JStreet as possible cover for any problems with the lobby. And
JStreet sometimes appears more interested in supporting Obama than in talking
about the peace process. Solomont I believe is JStreet's top financial backer
and was also Obama's first top Jewish money guy. I'm all for it if it leads to improved conditions in ME.
