Ed Koch likens Obama to the Gestapo

If this wasn’t on the internet, I’d believe someone had made it up… MJ Rosenberg quotes a column by the sober and judicious Ed Koch at RealClearPolitics:

President Obama’s abysmal attitude toward the State of Israel and his humiliating treatment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is shocking. […]

[W]here are our Senators, Schumer and Gillibrand? And, where are the voices, not only of the 31 members of the House and 14 Senators who are Jewish, but the Christian members of the House and Senate who support the State of Israel? Where are the peoples’ voices? Remember the words of Pastor Niemoller, so familiar that I will not recite them, except for the last line: "Then they came for me, and by that time, there was no one left to speak up."
