The Obama Administration Reaching Out In All Directions For Help On Israel and The Palestinian Question
Reader comment on item: Avigdor Lieberman's Brilliant Debut

Submitted by Renee Bouvier (United States), May 20, 2009 at 17:06

If anyone receives a telephone call from the Democratic Party or the Obama Administration, asking for your resume, to help resolve the Israelis/Palestinian quagmire, politely refuse. Don't become part of the problem. Worse yet, don't exacerbate the already existing quagmire. If you are accused by someone of dual loyalty, refer to the Dreyfuss case.

If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it's an antisemite. Dual loyalty? Did anyone ever question the loyalty of Irish Americans? Has anyone ever questioned the loyalty of Italian Americans? How about Polish Americans? I just saw a car with a Polish bumper sticker. So why single out the Jews, when it comes to being a loyal American citizen? Something stinks of malefic intentions against the Jewish people.
