Good Zionists are really hard to find

Any Jewish leaders want to condemn the rantings of confirmed Zionist Frank Gaffney, here writing last week in the Washington Times about Obama’s Cairo speech? No, didn’t think so, far better to keep crazy Israel lovers on our side:

The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich…

With Mr. Obama’s unbelievably ballyhooed address in Cairo Thursday to what he calls “the Muslim world” (hereafter known as “the Speech”), there is mounting evidence that the president not only identifies with Muslims, but actually may still be one himself…

Whether Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim or simply plays one in the presidency may, in the end, be irrelevant. What is alarming is that in aligning himself and his policies with those of Shariah-adherents such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the president will greatly intensify the already enormous pressure on peaceful, tolerant American Muslims to submit to such forces – and heighten expectations, here and abroad, that the rest of us will do so as well.

I look forward to the next time “serious” media outlets interview Gaffney about his considered views on Israel, Iran and Islam.
