"The American election signifies the start of the political harvest season for the strongest US foreign lobby. American presidential hopefuls vying for Jewish money and vote, with varying designed Yamakas, line up at fundraiser events from New York to Hollywood Californian, typically before making a shameful toadying “pilgrimage” to the supposed Wailing Wall in East Jerusalem.
The 2012 election season has started in earnest with Republicans and the President (Democratic) nominee pandering equally to the powerful pro-Israel Jewish lobby.
In a recent 30 minute conference call with over 900 orthodox, conservative and reform rabbis from throughout the US, Obama assured the rabbis that “Prime Minister Netanyahu knows he can count on the United States … the commitment of the security of Israel is ironclad. Since coming into office, I haven’t just talked the talk, we’ve walked the walk.”
At a New York City election fundraiser, the US president, in self-glorifying statement boasted: “I try not to pat myself too much on the back, but this administration has done more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration.”
Meanwhile six Republican candidates, except Ron Paul, gathered in December at a Republican Jewish Coalition meeting in Washington DC attempting to court Republican Jewish votes and money. Outshining each other, the candidates were inventive in vowing their obsequious devotion for Israel.
Former Speaker-of-the-House Newt Gingrich and Congresswoman Michele Backman pledged to relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem; Mitt Romney promised to make Israel his first international destination if he was elected president."
