Pamela Geller Writes:
Before Obama was elected, many Jews were insisting he was pro-Israel, and 78% of American Jews voted for him. I was not among them: a year ago, a Jewish writer attacked me for saying that Obama was not pro-Israel. Now that he has been president for over 100 days, how has that worked out? It is worth revisiting that May 2008 article, for it is revealing of the false assumptions that all too many Jews had and still have.
Last May, Daniel Koffler wrote about me at a blog called Jewcy (it is anything but) . He said “false friends of Israel, on the other hand, go into a petit mal seizure at the slightest hint of deviation from a platform of dispatching all the Palestinians with extreme prejudice, and grand mal when that deviationism comes from a fellow Jew.”
There’s more. Koffler defended another Jewish writer, Jeffrey Goldberg, whom I had criticized for his claim that “Mr. Obama is actually more pro-Israel than either Ehud Olmert or Ehud Barak…[t]o say nothing of John McCain and President George W. Bush….”
