Jewish folks helped put Barack Obama in office.
They were warned how 'enraged' he would be at Israel....but for so many Jews, their religion is "Liberalism," rather than Judaism.
Finally....many are having their eyes opened.
1. "....[Rabbi Richard Block],.a lifelong Democrat, a political liberal, a Reform rabbi, and for four decades, until last week, a New York Times subscriber. What drove me away was the paper’s incessant denigration of Israel, a torrent of articles, photographs, and op-ed columns that consistently present the Jewish State in the worst possible light.
[Rabbi Block wrote to "...President Obama in support of his recently-announced Executive Order prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in hiring. The faith leaders strongly urged the President to refrain from providing an exemption from this important non-discrimination policy to religious organizations who contract with the government."
Faith Leaders To President Obama Religious Contractors Shouldn t Be Allowed to Discriminate Bend the Arc
Yeah....that Liberal.]
2. .... not new. Knowledgeable observers have long assailed theTimes lack of objectivity and absence of journalistic integrity in reporting on Israel.
3. My chronic irritation finally morphed into alienation and then to visceral disgust this summer, after Hamas renewed its terrorist assaults upon Israel and the Times launched what can only be described as a campaign to delegitimize the Jewish State.
4. .... Hamas is ....Committed by its charter to “obliterate” Israel and kill all Jews everywhere, Hamas is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., Britain, and the European Union, a designation substantiated by its raining rockets down on Israel’s civilians and tunneling under its border to kill and kidnap, indisputable war crimes.
5. .... a newspaper committed to balance and fairness would provide context and perspective. It would show traumatized Israeli children running to shelters, cowering, wetting their beds, and suffering nightmares. It would publish photos and accounts of militants launching rockets from the roofs of mosques, a church, and a media hotel, alongside schools, refugee shelters, clinics and hospitals, and of weapons concealed by Hamas in UN facilities.
It would substantiate casualty figures from Hamas, which is known to have falsified them in the past, before reporting them as fact. It would highlight Hamas’ use of civilians as human shields, its urging civilians to ignore Israel’s advance warnings to depart, so that Gazans would be killed and inflict PR damage on Israel.
Such a paper would cover the threats of death that inhibited reporters and photojournalists from telling the true, full story.
But the Times did not."
