(May 30, 2008) - The Republican J...Washington, D.C. (May 30, 2008) - The Republican Jewish Coalition today<BR/>responded to the announcement that former Rep. David Bonior will be representing the Obama campaign at the Democratic National Committee meeting this weekend in Washington, D.C. As a Congressman, David Bonior was known for his strong opposition to pro-Israel policies, being called by some "the biggest supporter of the anti-Israel Arab lobby in Congress."[1] The RJC cited Bonior as the latest in a string of advisors and campaign officials to Barack Obama that harbor anti-Israel views.<BR/><BR/>"Barack Obama's path to strengthening ties with the Jewish community is severely blocked when appointing an anti-Israel figure like David Bonior. While in Congress, Bonior refused to stand by Israel after repeated terrorist attacks, was known as a stalwart opponent to Israel, and is now a representative for Barack Obama. Bonior's appointment is the latest in a series that raises serious questions and doubts about Barack Obama's positions and judgments on the Middle East."<BR/><BR/>During his Congressional career, David Bonior repeatedly opposed pro-Israel legislation. In 1997, David Bonior was one of 15 Congressmen who signed a letter asking then-President Clinton to pressure Israelis into making concessions to the Palestinians. In 2002, David Bonior was one of only 21 Congressmen who opposed H.R. 392, which publicly affirmed Congress's support of Israel's right to self-defense and called for the dismantling of the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure.[2] In 1990, David Bonior was one of only 34 Congressman to vote against a measure naming Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel.[3] In 1989, Bonior was one of six House members to vote against a bill that prevented US funds from going to UN entities that granted the PLO membership.[4] Throughout his career, Bonior repeatedly opposed US aid to Israel and supported arms sales to Arab states opposed to Israel's existence.<BR/><BR/>"The appointment of yet another anti-Israel advisor like David Bonior to represent Barack Obama speaks volumes to the Jewish community. The pattern<BR/>including Tony McPeak, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Robert Malley continues with<BR/>this appointment. It's no wonder the Jewish community remains deeply skeptical and troubled by Barack Obama."Avromihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593992238707872967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-9869289348814720652008-06-05T22:50:00.000-04:002008-06-05T22:50:00.000-04:00Brilliant article once again :)I have just a coupl...Brilliant article once again :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I have just a couple of first impressions on Obama's AIPAC speech and the applause he received:<BR/><BR/>Obama's "Security through Peace" sounds a lot like FDR's "Liberation through Victory." Sounds nice but really amounts to little more than sitting on your *&^% while Jews are being killed.<BR/><BR/>Obama mentioned peace 15 times? <BR/><BR/>I wondered if that was calculated too? Fifteen times...the tzeva adom alert goes off 15 times. It's word association for me. I hear Israel and 15 and think of tzeva adom , 15 seconds and Sderot. I can't help it.<BR/><BR/>Disgusting that Obama comes out with this insincere "I Love Israel" speech on the heels of his exploitation of his great uncle's liberation of a concentration camp.<BR/><BR/>A news website censored a comment I made about Obama exploiting his uncle's holocaust experience. I guess that is something I am not supposed to say or think.<BR/><BR/>Other thoughts--it's heartbreaking that Jews and Israel will latch on to anyone who says the right buzz words, words that offer nothing more than false reassurances of support and love.<BR/><BR/>My use of the phrase "latch on" is deliberate. It does remind me of how a helpless and hungry baby "latches on" to feed from its mother. If you know about breast-feeding infants that phrase will mean more.<BR/><BR/>I just find all of this incredibly sad. Anyone who comes along and says "I Love Israel" in so many words is latched on to with an almost desperateness and desire for it to really be true.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.com
