    The Republican Jewish Coalition, which seeks to increase Jewish support for Republican candidates, said it made some 20,000 calls in an effort to recruit new supporters. The group also held a telephonic town hall featuring Ari Fleischer, a press secretary for President George W. Bush, who was highly critical of Mr. Obama’s policy. Several thousand people participated, the group said.

    On the call, Mr. Fleischer said that Mr. Obama’s policy “abandons morality” because it puts Israel, a democratic nation, and the Palestinians, whose government includes “terrorists,” on equal moral footing. He also said: “President Obama’s statement that the United States’ commitment to Israel is unbreakable is only true until it breaks.” But he declined to call Mr. Obama “anti-Israel.”

    Why did they even need to make calls to tell people the obvious? It’s like calling somebody at midnight to tell him it’s dark outside.

    I am glad that someone is doing something. Hopefully some of these hopeless Jewish liberals will wake up and realize that the Democ rats and especially Hussein Obama are the enemies of israel while the Republicans support israel.

    “Ari Fleischer, a press secretary for President George W. Bush”

    I bet the RJC doesn’t tell voters on these robocalls that Bush called for an end to the occupation, endorsed a Palestinian State, and described 1967 borders in return for recognition as a “foundation” of a peace agreement.

    If anyone can find the home, office, and cellular phone numbers of the people running this robo-call campaign (and the vendor, too), please post them. If they’re going to harass us, it’s only fair that we can reciprocate and let them know how we feel. Oh, triple points if you can find his or her’s mothers-in-law numbers.
    NOTE that this request applies to all political and commercial robocallers, not just this “side”. (But they’re the ones in the story today).
    Thanks.

    In January 2008, President Bush made the following statements during a speech in Jerusalem:

    “The point of departure for permanent status negotiations to realize this vision seems clear: There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. ..
    Achieving an agreement will require painful political concessions by both sides. While territory is an issue for both parties to decide, I believe that any peace agreement between them will require mutually agreed adjustments to the armistice lines of 1949 to reflect current realities and to ensure that the Palestinian state is viable and contiguous.”

    The video and the full remarks can be seen at http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/8158-comparing-bush-and-obama-on-israel.

    Although Bush and Obama didn’t use the exact same words, the point they made about 1967 borders is the same. Yet so many of the commentators on this site label Bush as one of the greatest friends Israel ever had in the White House, while proclaiming Obama as anti-Israel and worse.
