The Chicago Jewish Star, a twice-monthly Jewish paper, has endorsed Romney as “the better bet for our country.” The phrasing indicates some defensiveness about the dual loyalty charge. The Star is emphasizing that Romney is better for America. And yes, the Star talks about jobs. But the Star does talk about another country several times. It begins with the Iran threat and later endorses Romney for his racist statements in Jerusalem in August, when he said that economic disparity between Israel and Palestine can be explained by Jews’ superior “culture.” Also, the editorial accuses Obama of “divisiveness.” Divisive toward Netanyahu?
We like Mr. Romney because he is able to travel to a hot-bed area like Israel and- openly, unapologetically, and accurately- commend the Jewish state for its achievements, while frankly acknowledging that it is Palestinian recalcitrance which has denied peace to the area.
…Mr. Obama’s unsatisfactory direction for America was rooted in untenable assumptions, fueled by arrogance, and promoted by divisiveness. We don’t need more of that.
It is not only that Mr. Obama thus deserves to be a one-term proposition; it is that Mr. Romney is simply the better bet for our country.
“Mr. Romney is simply the better bet for our country.”
Hmmm. Which country is that again?
As for “untenable assumptions, fueled by arrogance, and promoted by divisiveness”, well surely that’s a description of Israel!
Israel’s former ambassador to the UN has been grumbling about their current incumbent to Haaretz (but I found elsewhere):

So the Chicago Jewish Star would accept the Nazis sticking it to the Jews could be explained by the Nazis’ “superior culture”. Zionist de-legitimizing Israel yet again.
This is sad to watch these nocturnal animals feeding even during the daylight on the decomposing body of the American values , as the barriers to their forays into the civic society get lowered,easier,and permissible.
I totally agree with Romney if he believes, as the Chicago Jewish Star’s states, that there is significant enervating potential in the private sector.
“With his [Romney’s] executive experience, belief in the enervating potential of the private sector, …”
Whether Romney believes in it is a question, it’s pretty clear that he’s acted to enervate.
Ha! “Defensiveness” is right. Although the context would suggest “our country” refers to America, there’s clearly some strategic ambiguity — otherwise they would just say “better bet for America.” Which country are they referring to again?
