'Jewish Response' Urges Candidates to Keep Jewish Issues Out of Election

This article (below) is amusing! Jews are asking the politicians who are beholden to Jews not to mention Jews anymore. The Jews are concerned that more than any other group of people in the world, it is the Jews to whom the candidates are tripping over each other to please. Whoever wrote this article does not explain how the Jews being only 2% of the US population contribute a whopping 70% to both parties. Is it because Jews would like to throw their money away? Well, if that were the case, Jews would be throwing it away in the direction of Palestine that they have renamed 'Israel'. No! The reason why Jews give so much money is because they expect a whole lot more in return and their Jewish 'state' has been the recipient of BILLIONS of American taxpayers' sweat.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct 06, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Jewish Response, an organization founded to help defuse anti-Semitism, is alarmed about the high frequency of references to Jews in the current election campaign. Candidates seem to feel that they are helping the Jewish people by promising to further what they believe to be the Jews' interests at every opportunity. However, the exact opposite is the truth.

"When only the Jews, out of all the nationalities and ethnic groups among American voters, are mentioned numerous times, it lends credence to the old anti-Semitic canard that Jews have their own agenda at heart and are disloyal to their country," said Leo Greenbaum of Jewish Response. "The candidates would do us the biggest service by simply not mentioning Jews at all. Then people would get the message that Jews are just like all Americans and want whatever is best for America.

"In times past," he continued, "anti-Semitic politicians used the scapegoating of the Jews as a tool to boost their popularity. Today's candidates are pro-Jewish, and they use their special attention to the Jews as a tool to boost their popularity. But, ironically, their over-emphasis on Jews is bad for the Jews. Jews are very loyal American citizens and don't deserve to be singled out like this."

Jewish Response contends that although the dark ages of hatred and persecution are gone, the idea of using the Jews has unfortunately remained a standard feature of politics. It's time for the world to move on and realize that singling out Jews for any reason, good or bad, brings back to life the old accusations from which Jews have always suffered.
