Posted in: NCJW, Reform urge Senate GOP to move nominees through
I guess when these so-called Jewish organizations supported the bottling up of Bush's nominees it was OK. But, heaven forbid, the same tactics should be used on a left wing Democratic President. The stench of hypocrisy is pungent.
Posted in: The power of ideas: Irving Kristol, public intellectual and godfather to neoconservatives
It is precisely the closed minded liberal dribble displayed by Mr. Edwards and Mr. Weisbard that Irving Kristol so eloquently and effectively skewered but, unfortunately, this left wing nonsense has been resurrected and is now the order of the day. The U.S., Israel, and the world will once again pay a very heavy price for this intellectual obtuseness. Irving we will miss you.
Posted in: Jewish Agency/MASA change course on ad
This is absurd. Virtually no American Jews will see let alone understand this Hebrew ad appearing on Israeli T.V. What this shows is the incredible obtuseness of some American Jews like JJ Goldberg to hearing the unvarnished truth about the trajectory of US Jewry as its lunges to oblivion through an ineluctable process of assimilation. It's time to stop being in denial and to start to get real about the condition of American Jews.
Posted in: Agudath Israel, Reform praise Obama on universal health care
"Death Panels" - an unfortunate use of inflammatory hyperbole. Nevertheless, so-called expert panels that provide guidance about the cost effectiveness of medical treatments relative to quality of life as previously suggested by Obama and as provided for in some of the legislation now under consideration is the first but important step toward a centralized allocation of what may well be life determining medical decisions. That's how it began in England and is now the de facto the way many of such decisions are carried. .
Posted in: It's almost unanimous: Jewish Dems on board with Obama
Looks like we have another love affair like the one Jews had with FDR. Even years after it became well know how FDR refused to bomb the railroad tracks to Auschwitz, many of these Jewish Democrats cannot help but idolize FDR. Tells you more about the Jewish Democrats than about FDR or Obama.
Posted in: Op-Ed: GOP must repudiate Limbaugh or be defined by him
Mr. Rosensaft is quite selective in what constitutes adequate repudiation of bigots, racists and anti-Semites. Al Sharpton, a notorious race baiting liar and anti-Semite, is still considered a respectable voice in the Democratic Party. And how much courage did it take for Obama to characterize the anti-Semitic ravings of Reverend Wright as ridiculous and divisive and 'not based on the truth?' He could not bear to call out the Reverend he listened to for over 20 years by declaring him the racist he has always been. (Some residual sympathies, perhaps?) And I don't hear Rosensaft's repudiation of Obama for awarding the Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson, the enabler of the notorious and vitriolic anti-Semitic Durban I conference. Rush Limbaugh's hyperbole pales by comparison to these favorites of the Democratic Party. I guess Rosensaft's '*hit" doesn't stink.
Posted in: Limbaugh slammed for comparing Democrats to Nazis
The impetus for this entire episode was the cheap shot by Nancy Pelosi to associate the entire spectrum of the anti-Obama/Democratic health care 'reform' program with Nazism based on one misguided individual who held up a swastika protest sign. The only one to object to this smear was Rush Limbaugh. Where were all the so-called Jewish organizations when she raised this bloody flag?
Posted in: Israeli human rights groups back Robinson pick
I think we owe these Israeli 'human rights' organizations (and their supporters) a debt of gratitude for making their world view so clear, i.e., they feel comfortable honoring someone who led the Durban I conference, the world's worst display of virulent anti-Semitism since the Nazi era. If there was any doubt, now everyone knows for sure who they are and what they stand for.
Posted in: Oxfam just made Obama's Mary Robinson headache that much bigger [UPDATED]
The truth is that under non-politicized international law Israeli settlements are not illegal. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a political institution that is biased against Israel for some time. That Oxfam agrees with IJC is axiomatic. That Obama agrees is just more evidence about his true feelings about Israel. To all those Jews who voted for him, its about time you woke up and smelled the coffee.

Posted in: Palestinian state in 2 years gets qualified Quartet nod
09/25/09 03:04 PM
Et tu Obama? So here is the ultimate betrayal. A Palestinian State forced down Israel's throat regardless of Palestinian 'reciprocity' like ending terrorism, incitement in its schools, or recognizing Israel as a jewish State (i.e., Arab irredentism via a continued struggle for the right of return). The Quartet plays the Auschwitz death march.
