Obama to Israel: Put Terrorism in Context (Don't Retaliate)

Washington, D.C. (July 22, 2008) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) issued the following statement today:

"Senator Obama in Jordan today said that terrorism makes 'Israelis want to dig in and simply think about their own security regardless of what's going on beyond their borders.' What Senator Obama fails to recognize is that the safety and security of its citizenry is the primary obligation of a country's leadership.

In essence, Senator Obama is asking Israelis and the American Jewish community to put terrorism in context. Senator Obama continues his rhetoric of moral equivalence by implying that measures taken by Israel to protect its citizens are on par with the Palestinians' frustration at border checkpoints. Senator Obama's attempt at even-handed diplomacy fails to hold Palestinians accountable for using terrorist tactics against innocent Israeli citizens as a means to achieve their ends."

 That's right, they'll attack us, we'll do nothing! Can we also get naked and sing coombaya?

sorry but Israel missed a great opportunity!  They could have put Obama in a very difficult spot in Israel yesterday and turn things bad for him in the US! Like Nuri Mailiki Iraqi president agreed  the timeframe for withdrawal for Obama and endorsed him, I would have expected from Ehurd Olmert or netanyahu to go after Obama and put him down in Israel with his two side remarks in the past and give the US voters a BIG QUESTION MARK!
Israel was not helpful at all!
So don't be sorry anymore, get used to it, Obama will be your president and you will OBEY Palestine!
Blame Ehud Olmert and the Israeli's for yesterday's warm welcome for Obama! HUH!!!

I'm sure the current Israeli regime (Kadima) wants Obama to get elected. The relentless pressure he would deliver to commit national suicide would dovetail perfectly with their preexisting plans.
