This interview will be 19 minutes well spent:
I can only say that it was an Israeli woman, Irene Diamond I believe was her name, who posted a note on the “Jews4Obama2008” website who said very succinctly exactly why every Jew, regardless of affiliation or lack thereof, should, no, MUST vote for Barack Obama. There has to be a new discussion. The status quo will not work. Mind you, this woman was not sure if she should even have been on that website in the first place, as she was not American but who shockingly, shockingly, spoke common sense, something sorely lacking in Jewish/Israel (not to conflate the two) political and religious conversation these days. She said, paraphrasing: “We [the West and moderate Muslim elements] need to tell them [Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran] to get with the program of the 21st century in terms of economics, infrastructure, government, law, and business as well as, of course, social services. And oh yes, not to treat your women like cattle who have to wear beekeepers’ uniforms. Who better to tell them this “news” than Barack HUSSEIN Obama. Listen well, friends. And read closely, too. If we just used a little common sense, the radicals would not exist or would be significantly less important in the daily lives of too many Israelis who are being killed in pizzarias and on busses. The madness must stop. This unique man has a chance to stop the madness.
Best Regards,
Randy
