valetudo Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 This is for my yankie brothers out there. Can anyone tell me Barak's stance on support for Israel from the USA. I ask as he is milking the Iraq thing yet the most damaging aspect of the US's middle eastern policy is the support for Israel but I can't find any vids of Barak chatting about.

steevolution Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/12/21/opinion/edalterman.php it's about how the people that claim to, and are often chosen to speak for American Jews don't hold representative views. part of the problem is the undemocratic ways in which leaders of various Jewish organizations are chosen. "Fault can also be found with lazy editors, reporters, producers and the like who invite neocon and other unrepresentative people to speak for Jews and Jewish values. Given the scare tactics the neocons routinely employ - from their frequent deployment of the intellectually vacuous term "Islamofascism" to Richard Perle and David Frum's warning that the nation's only choice is "victory or holocaust" - it is a remarkable tribute to the good sense of American Jewry that it remains a bastion of liberal humanism. These pundits have every right to put forth their views, of course. It's long past time, however, for the mainstream media to recognize just how out of touch they are with the values of the American Jewish mainstream. If not now, when?"[international Herald Tribune] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
