Decision 2004: American Jews must make our voices heard

American Jews, who value Israel's security, have an important stake in this election. Senator John Kerry has been endorsed by Arafat, and hundreds of Muslim leaders, including the Protocol spouting form PM of Malaysia, Mohammed Mahathir. Senator Kerry's vision is increased reliance on the UN and European Union, both of which are anti-Israel. He has made it clear that he would support former President Carter, James Baker, or someone similar to pressure Israel on the Palestinians. President Bush, while imperfect on Israel, has supported the right of Israel to define the terms of peace and security with the Arabs.

In the wider war on terror, the choice is between negotiating with Bin Laden and Islamists and destroying them. I believe that the choice is obvious. We must support President Bush for the sake of Israel and America.

Below are a set of news articles and opinion pieces on these issues. Please read these and forward this e-mail to other Jewish voters. This election and these issues are too important to ignore.

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Concentrate on folk who open their EMail more frequently than I do.

Hmm. You cited James Baker. Do you have any reference links where I can read more on that? It kinda surprised me. I've thought of him as being involved in negotiations between the two sides, but I have never thought of him as having an anti-Israeli interest?

Thanks.

[SJackson]

James Baker is remembered for his comment, in the context of Israel, Fuck the Jews. They didn't vote for us

He was, of course, saying *uck the American Jews. You can find references by the hundreds, likely thousands, by plugging the quote into google.

For what it's worth, Jimmy Carter said virtually the same thing at a March, 1980 meeting, If I get back in, I`m going to f--- the Jews

I got plenty of grief for spamming family and classmates.
I got an amusing response from a lesbian cousin. It seems that she does not quite understand that an Islamist victory would be worse than having her "marriage license" revoked.

[Khepri]

He was, of course, saying *uck the American Jews. Hmmm, I see. That's unfortunate that he can be that crass. I search to see if he ever recanted. Thanks. Oddly, it may be more likely to bring the PA to the table if they think he is not an Israeli puppet, but at what cost? Now the Israeli's will hold him under suspicion and have an air of distrust?

[SJackson]

If he, or Bush Sr. ever "recanted", let me know. Israel would trust him as they would Jimmy Carter. The distrust is deserved.

Perhaps some of they Muslim groups that endorsed W in 2000 thought he would have an anti-Israel foreign policy along the lines of his father's administration when James Baker was Secretary of State.

[Paleo Conservative]

I just did, and all but a few of the last few Jewish relatives/friends I was talking with have now cut me off.

Was that due to political disagreements?

Well wouldn't a list of "gay marriages" be useful to the Islamists if they ever imposed dhimmitude on this country? I have never quite understood why "gay" activists are so anxious to document their sexual preference in the public record.

Yep. Their bad. I expect that Gore-Lieberman would have been more compliant due to liberalism and a desire not to be seen as "Jew controlled."

A desire to have their sinful ways declared beneficial and enshrined as a norm in law and society.

"If he, or Bush Sr. ever "recanted", let me know. Israel would trust him as they would Jimmy Carter. The distrust is deserved."

Hmmm, looks like I have alot of catching up to do on the subject. I did just find out that a British FM once said back in the League of Nations days that the world would be better off if Israel would "just go away". Combine that with what you're telling me and I'd have to say I agree.

[Khepri]

That's probably true. All with the exception of perhaps the Iraqi's in Michigan?

I've noticed that during this election most of those groups are going with Kerry mostly likely because they know he will sell out Israel to the UN faster the he will the US.

I still can't understand Netanyahu's opposition to the withdrawal, though I'm admittedly ingnorant on the subject. It seems withdrawal is the first step to formation of a Palestinian state. I see that as a good thing because once there is an officially recognized state of Palestine and they continue with their nonsense of terrorist attacks then an official declaration of war can be made. as it stands now that cannot be done, which is one of the reasons I believe that the PA doesn'r really want a nation-state of their own. they seem to find a way to sabotage peace agreements every time!

Like Neville Chamberlain at Munich.

[Ulysse]

SHARON's policy with the BUSH support seems to be successfull.
Terrorists strike have strongly decreased with the building
of the famous wall.
SHARON seems going on to achieve his plan and begin the withdrawal from Gaza.
An other success for SHARON is putting offside ARAFAT(he was for many,as Clinton,an obstacle for peace.

ALL THESE GOALS WERE ACHIEVED DESPITE U.N. and FRANCE MANEUVERS AND WITH THE STRONG SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT BUSH
