AIPAC thanks Obama for 'steadfast support'

[azurnoir]

In rare statement, Jewish lobby says president 'deepened America's support for Israel in difficult times'

"With Israel and America facing unprecedented threats and challenges in the Middle East, we deeply appreciate the close and unshakeable partnership between the United States and Israel," the statement read. "President Obama and the bipartisan, bicameral congressional leadership, have deepened America’s support for Israel in difficult times."

AIPAC has traditional conservative views, which has led left-leaning Jews to establish J Street, an organization which aims to speak for moderates among American Jews.

"As Rosh Hashanah nears, AIPAC - its leadership and staff - extends to Israel’s strongest supporters heartfelt appreciation for the work of this administration and Congress to strengthen the US-Israel relationship," the statement concluded.

1. Interesting. nt

2. I guess it's best to distribute the eggs

keep the options open, prepare for 'any' eventuality....... you know

[bemildred]

3. I thought they might have stopped being "outraged" and "disgusted" long enough to realize

they were taking a balls-out position backing a loser.

Did I reallly see pictures of Rmoney hanging around with Geller? Yikes.

4. Romney and Geller?

preserved for posterity? If so Mittens is the gift that keeps on giving

5. I could have sworn I saw a couple at one of those sites we see around here.

Bunches of them. Ah, yep, there it is:

6. Thanks and as for Ms Geller

she is IMO the very embodiment of the saying "Beauty is only skin deep"

[bemildred]

7. If that. nt

11. Wait. Are you trying to connect Geller with AIPAC?

She may hate AIPAC even more than anti-Zios do.

Look it up. Google's your friend...

I just did.

[bemildred]

12. No, I was connecting Geller with Rmoney, I thought that was obvious. nt

[shira]

10. AIPAC is backing Romney? You know who runs AIPAC these days?

Look up Lee Rosenberg.

He does.

And he's one of Obama's biggest supporters and close friends.

He wouldn't be caught dead supporting Romney.

13. See post #12. nt

8. Thanks for posting this

People are often very confused when it comes to AIPAC.

Hopefully this will help clear things up.

[azurnoir]

9. Confused? I would think that it is well known that AIPAC is not loyal to any one US political party

as I said earlier wise not to place too many eggs in one basket

[oberliner]

16. I would think that too

Yet I do believe there are people out there who think AIPAC is a RW pro-Republican group.

Hopefully any confused folks will find their way to this thread.

18. They may not be loyal to any one party

but Obama and his supporters should play this up to show that he supports Israel to alleviate any fears that Romney is trying to stir up in that area.

[shaayecanaan]

14. Im sure he thanks them from the bottom of his heart

Where would he be without their support?

[bemildred]

15. I'm sure being impotent to get their way must be a bracing new experience for them. nt

19. You wrong , they are getting their own way

Obama is leading .

Jews always vote Democrat .
( vast majority .. But you knew
that ,right ?)

[bemildred]

20. I'm not talking about Jews, I'm talking about AIPAC. nt

17. Not sure if you are being sarcastic here

I think he is probably very grateful for it.
