Jews must choose between Obama and Israel

I just finished reading a book, Don't Tread on Me, by Carol Gould, a U.S. ex pat who has lived her adult life in the U.K. Gould is a self declared conservative, at least in certain matters, and must be counted among the British intelligentsia.

Over the last few years we have exchanged emails and she send me a complementary copy of her new book, Don't Tread On Me. It was a very quick read. It concerns itself with British anti-Americanism. When it comes to recognizing the the extend and significance of anti-Americanism, antisemitism and anti-Zionism, I am far from a babe in the manger. But Carol's description of the visceral hatred the Brits have for Americans and America, going back decades, left me in shock. Her book is full of horrendous examples. While she was at it, she had time to defend Israel and expose antisemitism. Like many of us Jews, she comes from liberal/socialist Jewish stock and though she has turned to the right she still is a liberal at heart. While defending Israel she acknowledged Israel had what to be ashamed of in the various wars she fought and in particularly in Sabra and Shatilla. I felt had she known the facts better she would not have conceded what she conceded. But that is not the purpose of my drawing attention to her and her book.

Just today I noticed that she waded into the Dershowitz/Phillips fisticuffs with her article in Pyjamas Media sub-titled, Jewish Fury Incarnate in which she put "the cat among the pigeons" by saying "I think Dersho is right-on." I am not surprised. Both she and Dershowitz are defenders of Israel and Zionism, no question about it, but their liberalism creeps out. She summarizes his argument

I choose Israel over Obama. I also choose a free America that has rid itself of this communist/pro-Muslim cloud of evil. Obama has made the same mistake they always make - he thinks the created is greater than the Creator. He’s wrong this time just like they all always are.

We all must choose between Satan and God. I still hope and pray that more of us will choose wisely.
