The Democrats and the Jews

Wes Pruden discusses the Obama administration's Israeli policy, which is better described as an anti-Israeli policy.

The President might have been too good a diplomat growing up. He does not seem to know what it is like to fight real enemies alone. Now that he has undermined Great Britain, Israel, Poland, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Australia, and India, it will be interesting to see if Egypt, Syria, Pakistan, and China send troops when we need them to defend the free world.

Pruden says: 'Accusations of anti-Semitism against the president are over-the-top, like the accusations of racism against anyone who sharply criticizes Mr. Obama, but it is certainly true that Mr. Obama has enjoyed the company of anti-Semites in the past — a "milieu," in the words of New Yorker magazine, "supposedly composed of incendiary preachers, black nationalists, fading Weathermen and . . . Palestinian intellectuals." (Milieus are fashionable on the Upper East Side and Chicago's South Side.) Mr. Obama has explained that while he did indeed submit his family to the moral guidance of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and he sat through 20 years of the preacher's Sunday-morning harangues about perfidious Jews and other evil white folks, he never heard the anti-Semitic rants, thus establishing a mark worthy of the Guinness Book of Records for sleeping through more than a thousand fiery sermons.'


I can tell you which countries have bled for us in the past, and which have soldiers who can make you feel safe in the worst parts of the world.
