So American Jews do have a problem with Obama!

Turns out, that many mainstream American Jewish organization leaders have a problem with US President Obama.

On Monday, an "off the record" meeting will be held between Obama and the heads of various Jewish organizations.


Among the primary issues to be discussed are the concerns of American Jewry, regarding what they (also) perceive as Obama's damage to the American-Israel relationship, particularly his harsh, incorrect and unfair treatment of the Jewish State (compared to his treatment of Israel's enemies, for instance).

While not all Jewish-Americans might see there is a problem with Obama (76%?), at least a few Jewish organization leaders apparently are beginning too.

But will these Jewish organization leaders have the guts to say what needs to be said, and in the way it needs to be said?

(And will Rahm Emmanuel send them all a dead fish if they dare open their mouths?)


UPDATE

Well so much for this post.

It is now being reported that certain major Jewish organizations, who happen to have very vocal pro-Settler opinions have not been invited to attend.

Obviously, J-Street will be represented at the meeting.

While the National Council of Young Israel (YI) and Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) have not been invited!


For Jewish Women of all ages. Consider a year at Nishmat in Israel.
