How patriotic to want to stand by your president!
But when George Bush was president, J-Street didn't have quite the same patriotic impulses:
George Bush heads to Israel this week for Israel’s 60th birthday bash. And what’s the gift he’s bringing?No photos of Bush with the American flag behind him. I wonder why?
More of the same weak leadership and failed policies that have made America, Israel, and the Middle East less safe. Is that the kind of present you bring to a friend’s 60th birthday party? We don’t think so.
Thankfully, Bush is on his way out, and soon a new President will be able to chart a new course for America in the Middle East.
Then again, since J-Street has no respect for leaders that Israeli voters choose, why should they have respect for any democratically elected leader? No, J-Street transcends democracy, to even higher ideals: Jeremy Ben Ami-ism.
