And So It Goes

First, please, see my article, up today on American Thinker.  It takes on JStreet's advocacy of the "two state solution," but can be utilized in critiquing that "solution" beyond what JStreet says:

I wrote yesterday about tensions emerging in the US-Israel relationship, and noted some hot words that allegedly passed between PM Netanyahu and US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, on the issue of Obama's policy on Iran.  There have since been some denials of this report (second hand: of the "I spoke to the PMO's office and was told it never happened" variety).

Obama Seeks to Delegitimize Israeli Concerns over Iran This article by Anne Bayefsky appears today on PJ Media. Despite Prime Minister Netanyahu’s valiant effort this week to educate President Barack Obama on the meaning of Purim and the centuries-old tale about the triumph of moral leadership and courage, the painful reality is that his message fell on deaf ears. The President does indeed “have Israel’s back” – up against a wall. Over the course of a week in which the President spoke frequently on the subject of Iran, one message stood out. By vociferously arguing that his administration’s brand of diplomacy is realistically capable of ending Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, and that views to the contrary are irresponsible war-mongering, Obama is attempting to undermine the legality of an Israeli strike.

"DAYLIGHT"

There are Americans, including American Jews, who still think that Obama is a staunch friend of Israel.  Who ask me: Why are you so hard on our president?  Why don't you trust that Obama's motivation in what he does is sincere?

I have answers when people ask these questions.  But now I have something more: "Daylight" -- a 30-minute, factually- based video on Obama's true relationship with Israel.  

It is the work of the Emergency Committee for Israel  

This video was released in response to the growing campaign rhetoric that declares Obama to be Israel's staunch friend, and in advance of the AIPAC Policy Conference -- which starts today and runs through Tuesday.  Obama is scheduled to speak at the Conference and will undoubtedly be touting his pro-Israel qualifications.  

~~~~~~~~~~

Every supporter of Israel should view this video in order to be well-informed. 

But in particular I urgently request that those who still think Obama is a good guy for Israel ("the most pro-Israel president ever"), and those who imagine that voting for Obama will keep Israel safe, to take the 30 minutes to see this. 

Thirty minutes, in order to be certain that you have the full story and not just what the Obama team wants you to know.
