Washington – US President Barack Obama on Tuesday met with members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations in Washington and reiterated America’s “unshakeable support” for Israel’s security, opposition to any effort to de-legitimize it, and “commitment to achieve a peace that will secure the future for Arabs and Israelis alike.”

According to an official statement, Obama “praised the core Jewish values of freedom and democracy, human rights, and tikkun olam (to repair the world). He also acknowledged that those values extend not only to events in the Middle East, but to the challenges here at home, thanking the Jewish community leaders for their support to ensure that America continues to out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build the competition in order to win the future.”
Since when is democracy a ‘core Jewish value?’ What am I missing here?
The panderer in chief is winding up for the only thing he does well, campaign. But like the man who grabs the tiger by the tail, once he has got a hold on it he doesn’t know what to do and that’s judging him favorably. Also, don’t let anyone forget his past and current efforts, overt as well as covert, to suppress the only democracy in the middle east.
Tikkun Olam has nothing to do with jewish value its a liberal idea. Bunch of liberal rubbish.
No such thing in Yiddishkeit as “tikun olam.”. Its a liberal idea and what they mean by it has no place. In Yiddishkeit.
