Israel Betrayed - Alan Skorski - Bog

For years, leaders from the Democratic Party have claimed, "When it comes to Israel, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats." In Israel Betrayed, Alan Skorski shows with extensive data, that in fact, Democratic support for Israel has been waning for years while Republican support for Israel has greatly increased. As Caroline Glick points out, "Republicans are near unanimous in their support for Israel. . . . Today, Democratic candidates will gain nothing and may lose significant support if they support Israel. In contrast, a Republican who opposes Israel will have a hard time getting elected, much less winning a primary." Evidence points to a President Hillary Clinton following in the footsteps of Barack Obama's hostile agenda. She has accused Israel of "lacking empathy" for the Palestinians and denying them "dignity." Media Matters and the Center for American Progress, two groups in her inner circle of advisors, have been described by Professor Alan Dershowitz as, "two extremely left-bigoted groups that are so virulently anti-Israel and anti-supporters of Israel that they've gone over the line from anti-Zionism to anti-Semitism . . . ." Even more disconcerting for supporters of the Jewish state is the close relationship between J Street and the Democratic Party and the undue influence they will have in guiding a Clinton Administration's policies towards Israel. As one J Street supporter told President Obama, who was considering imposing his "peace plan" on Israel, "let us know first, and we'll do the legwork for you, in the community . . . so you're not going to come in cold." Israel Betrayed is the handbook that exposes those politicians and high profile left-wing Jewish activists and pundits who profess their support for Israel while exercising their influence to undermine Israel's security and standing in the international arena of public opinion.
