Reader comment on item: Recognizing Israel as the Jewish State: Statements, Actions, Analyses
in response to reader comment: Israel as a Jewish state.
Submitted by Shishir (United Arab Emirates), Mar 24, 2013 at 00:17
My point is certainly not that Israel should accommodate non Israelites but my perception that Obama is being disingenuous by referring to sons of Abraham in his support for Israel as Jewish state.
