American Jews – Part 4

In A Quandary

Almost 80% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama and they do not want to admit that they helped elect an enemy of Israel. But they might have to.

Melanie Phillips, a British journalist and author See Part 3, has written, “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.” (7/6/09)

She has explained why she thinks President Obama is no friend to Israel. She notes his words and his actions See Part 1 not only toward Israel but also toward Arabs and Muslims. The comparison is telling.

No wonder American Jews are in a quandary. The handwriting is there on the wall for all to read. How long do they think they can ignore it?
