American Jews – Part 3

The Jitters

Some American Jews are not getting jittery - they are already jittery. Almost 80% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama and they do not want to admit that they helped put an enemy of Israel into the White House.

People like Alan Dershowitz desperately try to sooth the uneasiness and anxiety by either ignoring facts or twisting truth – but it is not working. See Part 1 Non-American Jews have studied President Obama’s attitude toward Israel and are willing to tell the world the truth.

One example is Melanie Phillips, a British journalist and author. In her article Dershowitz doesn’t get it (7/6/09) , she tells her readers, “Many if not most American Jews have a highly sentimentalized view of Israel. They never go there, are deeply ignorant of its history and current realities, and are infinitely more concerned with their own view of themselves as social liberals See Part 2 , a view reflected back at themselves through voting for a Democrat President.” A president she describes as being lethal to Israel and to the free world.

No wonder American Jews have the jitters. The man they overwhelmingly helped put in the White House has been observed and his words and actions toward the people and state of Israel have been found wanting.
