Israel, Obama, and American Jews

Recent pollsters in the US find that many people think Barak Obama is Muslim, but a confirmed practising Christian that he is, despite the brouhaha over his old pastor the Reverend Mr. Jeremaiah Wright, jr, which has not dented the junior senator from Illinois' numbers at the primaries, nor slowed his reach for the Democratic party's candidate for the White House. Yet there is another red herring. Obama's unfriendly attitude, many think, towards Israel. The word has gone amongst the 12 tribes that he is a dangerous man, harbouring inimical thoughts about the state of Israel, and fundmentally when you get down to it, he's not good for the Jews! Of course this is tosh. But for the right wing Jewish lobbists, in bed with the Bush administration, this false idea is good grist for their slander mills. For the majority of American Jewry Israel is like Caesar's wife--above suspicion. Thus anyone who dares question her purity, well...he deserves death, destruction, and the eternal fires of hell. So it is not surprising to read long articles about Jews in America who won't think of voting for Obama because he's viewed not as friend of Israel but an enemy. It makes no difference if now Israel is willing to sign a peace treaty with Israel, or that Israel engages in secret or open relations with Arab countries. What is at stake is Eretz Yisroel...the land of Israel which American Jewsry in the main think Obama is going to hand over to the Palestinians, regardless of Israel 40 year occupation of the west bank and its aggressive policies of colonisation there. American Jewry have swallowed the hokum of the Jewish zealots from Brooklyn who reclaim Palestine on their reading of the Torah that what they call Samaria and Judea belongs by divine right to them. It ain't for nothing that the most rabid anti Arab party in Israel is Kach whose founder came from Borough Park, Brooklyn, and whose ideology best mimics Adolph Hitler's. It ain't for nothing that the US not Israel is the goldene Medina for Jews not Israel, and it also ain't for nothing that America Jewry is blinded by guilt for doing little to save European Jews from ha Shoah! American Jewry is on the wrong scent in attaching Obama!
