Jewish groups condemn attacks on Obama
Leaders of US Jewish organizations issue joint letter slamming email
distributed recently in English and Hebrew depicting Democratic
presidential candidate as Muslim pretending to be a Christian and working
for al-Qaeda

Leaders of the Jewish organizations in the United States issued a joint
letter Tuesday night condemning the email being distributed both in Hebrew
and in English attacking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. 
 
In the email, Obama is depicted as a Muslim pretending to be a Christian
and seeking to take over the White House and handing it over to the
control of al-Qaeda. 
 
 
 
In an open letter to the Jewish community, the leaders said that they
would not endorse or oppose any candidate for president, but felt
compelled to speak out against "certain rhetoric and tactics in the
current campaign that we find particularly abhorrent". 
 
"Of particular concern, over the past several weeks, many in our community
have received hateful emails that use falsehood and innuendo to
mischaracterize Senator Barack Obama's religious beliefs and who he is as
a person." 
 
'Make A decision based on factual records' 
The letter was signed by Abraham Foxman, the national director of the
Anti-Defamation League; William Daroff, vice president of the United
Jewish Communities; David Harris, executive director of the American
Jewish Committee; Nathan J. Diament, director of the Union of Orthodox
Jewish Congregations of America; Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of
the Simon Wiesenthal Center; Richard S. Gordon, president of the American
Jewish Congress; Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action
Center of Reform Judaism; Phyllis Snyder, president of the National
Council of Jewish Women; and Hadar Susskind, Washington director of the
Jewish Council for Public Affairs. 
 
There is great importance to the fact that Jewish leaders from all sides
of the political map joined forces in this letter. 
 
"These tactics attempt to drive a wedge between our community and a
presidential candidate based on despicable and false attacks and innuendo
based on religion," the letter said. "We reject these efforts to
manipulate members of our community into supporting or opposing
candidates." 
 
 
The Jewish leaders warned that "attempts of this sort to mislead and
inflame voters should not be part of our political discourse and should be
rebuffed by all who believe in our democracy. 
 
"Jewish voters, like all voters, should support whichever candidate they
believe would make the best president. We urge everyone to make that
decision based on the factual records of these candidates, and nothing
less."

Non lo vogliono! La lobby sionista lo ha già bocciato perchè non
abbastanza filoisraeliano. Lui ha tentato di correggere una infelice (per
i sionisti) valutazione sulla politica israeliana, ma non è stato
perdonato. Se dovesse vincere vorrebbe dire che la lobby sionista ha perso
potere.
