Israeli Ambassador Rebukes DNC Chair

The Israeli ambassador to America, Michael Oren, has released a statement rebuking the chair of the Democratic National Party.

Earlier today, Phil Klein reported:

Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed on Monday that Israel’s ambassador to the United States has accused Republicans of being “dangerous” to Israel by criticizing President Obama’s record.

The Florida congresswoman made the charge at a training session for Jewish Democrats held by the Obama campaign here at the Democratic National Convention, aimed at teaching Jewish Democrats how to convince their fellow Jews to vote for Obama.

Much of the session, which featured a string of speakers from the Obama campaign, was devoted to defending Obama’s record on Israel. During her talk, Wasserman Schultz said that Republicans, who “can’t get anywhere with our community on domestic issues” instead “do everything they can to lie and distort and mischaracterize this president’s stellar record on Israel.”

Ambassador Michael Oren just released this statement: "I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel. Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle."

Typical deracinated liberal “Jew”. I use the word “Jew” lightly, since she is not a Jew at all. She may be culturally and ethnically Jewish, but she is no Jew. But then, most American Jews, the majority of whom are Reform, or even Reconstructionist, are not real Jews at all. They have traded Judaism for liberalism, and liberalism is their faith now.

I read this to my wife. Her response: “Stellar record on Israel? Well, I guess technically a black hole is a stellar object...”

Post of the thread.
