First drop the nasty. I believe we are on the same side.

Second I did mix up the names. It is Alan Solow who is now Chair of The Presidents Conference not Lee Rosenberg. Rosenberg is head of AIPAC now and he too is a big Obama cheerleader.

But make no mistakes Hoenlein has been replaced in title and in influence. Solow the Obama supporter is now in charge. And Hoenlein championed Palin he was just outgunned. Do you also blame Boehner, Cantor, Sesssions and Pence every time Obama/Pelosi/Reid win?

If you do blame Hoenlein, you are part of the problem. US Jews do not have so many leaders on the correct side, please don’t make the list smaller than it is.

...................

The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations is one of the most reactionary power centers in the American Jewish community. Nominally representative of all American Jews, it has been run for decades by its executive director Malcolm Hoenlein, a rightwing activist —Llikud and Republican — full-throated backer of the occupation, and particularly of the settlers. He did everything he could to tip the Jewish community to McCain.

But he failed. Obama received 78% of the Jewish vote and suddenly Malcolm’s position is rather shaky. Who does he represent? A percentage of the 22% who voted for McCain — and not a large percentage either. Most of the 22% voted for McCain because they are Republicans not because they believed the lies circulated by Hoenlein’s friends about Obama being “bad fo the Jews.”

For Malcom, push had to come to shove. And now it has. A close Obama friend from Chicago, Alan Solow, is taking over the Presidents Conference. Hoenlein now works for a guy whose loyalty is to Barack Obama. In fact, that is why Solow is being elected.

What happens to Hoenlein now? Who knows? But the recent address he gave to the people of Iran indicates that he could have a future urging the Muslim masses to rise up and support Greater Israel. Check it out, its delightful.

And Alan Solow, an early Obama supporter, was recently elected chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

You're only on my side if you don't post misleading or inaccurate stuff here when responding to things that I write about. People who do this are dangerous because I am not always around to correct the misstatements of the ignorant to the ignorant.


But make no mistakes Hoenlein has been replaced in title and in influence.

And you just repeat yourself. Hoenlein has not been replaced in title. As for influence, I have to say I don't even know who your Alan Solow is. Maybe he just speaks to an audience that I am not part of. I usually hear Hoenlein every week on Nachum Segal's show. (Nachum who? If you have to ask, that's not good.) Hoenlein didn't need to invite Palin to that demonstration to pi$$ off the left. He took Rush Limbaugh to Israel back when Vince Foster was murdered, and Rush still talks about Malcolm from time to time. I've never heard Rush mention the supposedly influential Alan Solow.
