It is almost as if President Obama is daring American Jews to vote against him. His acrimonious attitude toward the Jewish state, coupled with his refusal to articulate the obvious fact that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state, was bad enough. But then former president Jimmy Carter, the personification of anti-Israel sentiment on the left, is invited to speak, albeit by video, at the Democratic National Convention. It is mind boggling that no one stopped this and that the president’s team, which is micromanaging the convention, does not after 3 ½ y ears “get it.”
Matt Brooks of the Republican Jewish Coalition e-mailed me: “The fact that the DNC would offer a prime time speaking slot to Jimmy Carter highlights just how out of touch and tone deaf they are. Giving a platform to someone who has been openly hostile to Israel and equated the country to the South African apartheid regime is offensive. At a time when the Obama campaign is launching a charm offensive to the American Jewish community this message will resonate loud and clear with American Jews as to why it’s time for a change in 2012.”
The offense is so obvious that usually staunch Democrats are speaking out. The National Democratic Jewish Council (NJDC) issued a stern rebuke. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) did as well:

The fact that Dems are opposing the move as well minimizes it's value as a political issue.
Not to worry. At the end of the day, American Jews will vote for Obama because they don’t care what happens to Israel.
LIBERAL ethnic Jews will vote Democrat.
Because they are liberals first.
Dems, or most of them , all the radical left the arty of slavery and KKK{why the GOP never mentions this is beyond me} also hate Jews,.
I don’t watch the five on FOX, can;t stand the idiots minus Bolling but a pal of mine said that Beckel made a disgusting remark about Jews and diamond merchants yesterday.
yet again the left show their disgust at Jews but come homosexuals and this girle man in the white house speaks up for those who engage in fecal sex and think rights should be based on their fecal bacteria, sickening diseased sex
American Jews as anti-semetic as Jimmy Carter, and AGREE with Jimmy Carter, and are every bit as democrat as he is - not nervous at all as Rubin claims. A thimble would hold the number of American Jews who disagree with Carter and his political heirs apparent, the Obama regime.
Do you remember how she botched Romney's kick off in Dearborn in 07 @ the Henry Ford Village?
Do you due diligence on that one....
No, it doesn’t. It sends exactly the right message, the same message the Demwits have been sending for decades now. Thanks SJackson.

One would pray so, but read all the asinine (except one) comments after the article.
The Democratic Party: anti-Israel, antisemitic, and still getting the majority of Jewish votes. Go figure.
At this present time the Jews (until Jesus comes back and they are all saved), on the whole, still have the spiritual blinders on that the apostle Paul wrote about. This spiritual blindness causes a political blindness, as good political insight, is more than anything else, spiritually discerned, or at least learned from those who have influenced one with their spiritually derived discernment. Especially today, it is very, very evident that political battles are actually battles of good vs. evil, God vs. Satan. We know, of course, who has already won the war, with an everlasting victory.
