Reader comment on item: Romney vs. Obama vis-à-vis Israel
in response to reader comment: Quite a wild extrapolation, no?
Submitted by Barry Black (United States), Sep 4, 2012 at 18:58
Sara...
Yes, my comments regarding Jewish women, Obama, and Romney were tongue-in-cheek----sorry you were offended. However, my comments regarding Obama and Israel are based on current events and probably spot on! An interesting development regarding the Democratic Platform indicates they have dropped any reference to Jerusalem being the capital of Israel, which has appeared in previous platforms. While platform have no bearing on future politics, the omission of Jerusalem in 2012 platform shows Obama's hand all over. As a side note there is no mention of G-D in the platform either----first time!!!
