Obama Vs. Netanyahu
From what I have been reading
this seems almost certain that the historically strong ties between Jewish
voters and the Democratic Parties will suffer in November. A US President who
is unable to communicate with the perhaps most pro-American Jewish Prime
Minister since 1948 and who is so obviously as well as needlessly offending
this ally must be out of his mind. This bizarre and unbecoming behavior of this
President is similar to when he talked down on the Justices of the US Supreme
Court during his State of Union address in the US Congress.
Romney In Israel
If Mitt Romney does an
excellent job during his visit to Israel and Jerusalem, he will likely be
rewarded for that. It is a smart move by Romney to travel to Israel in these
times.
It is reported that there are
than 600,000 Jews living in Florida alone with a total population of about 19
million.
The GOP And Jews
In an article
(subscription required) by Rafael Medoff published on the Opinion page of the US
Wall Street Journal on 7/26/12 one reads that the GOP became the first to
officially endorse the Israeli state in the 1940s. The father of current Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reported as being involved in New York City in
the 1940s to wean the Jews away from the Democrats towards the GOP.
Just as an aside: Were not the
GOP also the first to abolish slavery? But African-Americans vote steadfastly
Democratic for decades.
