Holocaust hype enters the elections http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/holocaust-hype-enters-the-elections/ Just days after an email to 75,000 Pennsylvania Jews suggested that a vote for Barack Obama could cause another Holocaust, at least two of the signatories to the letter are distancing themselves from it. This after the political operative who apparently wrote the letter was fired. The letter, paid for by the state Republican Party, caused a huge uproar, with e-mails flying back and forth. Both I. Michael Coslov, the campaign chair of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, and Sandra Schultz Newman, a former state supreme court justice, are distancing themselves from the letter, saying they hadn’t actually read its contents before signing on. Coslov said he doesn’t think Obama is “right for the Jewish people, but I don’t think he’s going to cause another Holocaust.” Newman issued an apology to those who had e-mailed her objecting to the letter. “I regret that I did not carefully review the final draft before it was released with my signature,” she wrote. “Some of the language was inappropriate and intemporate. I apologize to anyone who was offended by this misguided e-mail.” But another Republican salvo continued the theme over the weekend. The Republican Jewish Coalition mobilized volunteers to distribute leaflets in heavily Jewish neighborhoods in suburban Philadelphia. The glossy leaflets also referenced the Holocaust indirectly. Featuring a photo of Obama speaking in Germany, the sheet said: “Concerned about Obama? You should be. History has shown that a naive and weak foreign policy has resulted in tragic outcomes for the Jewish people.” en-us lhostein@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-10-27T;16:04:42-05:00 Comment by kitchener@omdurman.org Re: “Gaza was turned over to Hamas; the war in Lebanon ended badly with Hezbollah gaining support, power and arms as a result; Iran has become a major nuclear threat, which the Republican administration has done nothing about; Israel is more vulnerable now than it was before this Republican administration.” And what were Mr. Olmert and the Knesset doing all this time???

“French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama’s positions on Iran, according to reports that have reached Israel’s government. “

“Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate’s stance on Iran as “utterly immature” and comprised of “formulations empty of all content.”

Obama’s own running mate says openly that dictators like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, Vladimir Putin, and so on will be eager to “test” Barry as soon as he takes office. If Ahmadinejad does so by nuking Tel Aviv, the consequences will be tragic for the Jewish people. If Putin rolls his tanks into the Ukraine, it will be tragic for the Ukranian people (and for the world if it leads to a nuclear world war). If Osama bin Laden detonates a nuclear bomb in Washington DC, it will be tragic for the American people.
