Democrats take Pro-Israel language out of platform

The Democrat Party has removed a section of its 2008 Party Platform in the 2012 version recently released online -- some key language in expressing support for the state of Israel.

Below is the section missing from the 2012 document (h/t Republican Jewish Coalition, @RJCHQ) :

The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel's right to exist, and abides by past agreements. Sustained American leadership for peace and security will require patient efforts and the personal commitment of the President of the United States. The creation of a Palestinian state through final status negotiations, together with an international compensation mechanism, should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel. All understand that it is unrealistic to expect the outcome of final status negotiations to be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel.The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.

Each of these items is crucial to Israel, and all have been key areas of contention for those who believe this President has not been friendly to the Jewish State.

Former Mayor Ed Koch once said that if shitler ran for any office all he needed to do was register as a dem and he'd still get 60% of the Jewish vote.

Koch has endorsed Obama and is defending his record on Israel.

What? Take G-d and Jerusalem as Israel's capital out of the Democrat platform? G-d is not Allah (jallah), the rock god.

The Messiah explains it all HERE.

Koch has endorsed Obama and is defending his record on Israel.

Koch might occasionally wander off the reservation, as he did in that NY-9 special congressional election last year, but that would be only a temporary respite from his lifelong addiction to the 'Rats.

And who is Koch to anoint himself the Moses of American Jewry anyway? He's always been a legend in his own mind.

Terrific Story! Thank You! :-)

Best part is, the leftist animus directed toward, for example, Walid Phares.

News flash: Koch has just been hospitalized for the treatment of anemia. A heavenly Hand?
