Does Alan Dershowitz and Jewish Obama supporters have regrets?
The American lawyer Alan Dershowitz is one of the most prolific,high-profile and indefatiguable defenders of Israel and the Jewish people against the tidal wave of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish feeling currently coursing through the west. So a piece by him in the Wall Street Journal giving expression to the rising anxiety being felt about Obama by American Jews naturally arouses great interest.
But just like the majority of American Jews,getting on for 80 per cent of whom voted for Obama,he is a Democrat supporter who is incapable of acknowledging the truth about this President. For most American Jews,the horror of even entertaining the hypothetical possibility that they might ever in a million years have to vote for a Republican is so great they simply cannot see what is staring them in the face —that this Democratic President is lethal for both Israel and the free world. And in this article Dershowitz shows that he too is just as blind.
Acknowledging the anxiety among some American Jews about Obama’s attitude to Israel,Dershowitz concludes uneasily that there isn’t really a problem here because all Obama is doing is putting pressure on Israel over the settlements,which most American Jews don’t support anyway. But this is totally to miss the point. The pressure over the settlements per se is not the reason for the intense concern.
It is instead,first and foremost,the fact that Obama is treating Israel as if it is the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Obama thus inverts aggressor and victim,denying Israel’s six-decade long victimisation and airbrushing out Arab aggression. The question remains:why has Obama chosen to pick a fight with Israel while soft-soaping Iran which is threatening it with genocide? The answer is obvious:Israel is to be used to buy off Iran just as Czechoslovakia was used at Munich. Indeed,I would say this is worse even than that,since I suspect that Obama – coming as he does from a radical leftist milieu,with vicious Israel-haters amongst his closest friends —would be doing this to Israel even if Iran was not the problem that it is.
lets not spin the truth here,Israel is against peace in the middle east. having peace in the middle east does not help Israel due the fact that they stole the land in the first place and would have to give back stolen land.
So when ever Israel sees someone working towards peace in the middle east they accuse them of hating Israel. When the truth is the world wants peace from the hostile and apartheid nation of ISRAEL.
The jews won that land after your buddies attacked them in 1967. As far stealing how many of your mooslam gang were there 3000 years ago. The answer is none. That is how long the land belonged to them. There no such people as palestinian. They are all refugees that were driven out of Jordan because the Jordanias could not stand the smell of them.
