Jerusalem Post: Bush has earned Jews' support
An op-ed in the 8/26 Jerusalem Post, titled "Waffling and Sensitivity won't beat terror--Why George W. Bush has earned the support of American Jewry" may be hurting Democrats by eroding support among a constituency they formerly could rely upon. Increasingly American Jews are waking up to the fact that it is the Republican Party which is the most ardent supporter of Isreali interests:
Why should Jews want the re-election of George W. Bush? Let's start with the removal of Saddam Hussein, his resolve in fighting Islamic terrorists, his unequivocal support for Israel's government and people, his willingness to confront the appeasers of terror in the United Nations, and his steadfast commitment to the principle of prevention.
The case for George W. Bush is the case for a clear and consistent US foreign policy. In three and a half years, President Bush has done more for Israel than any other president in the last 50. And, unlike his opponent, he has never wavered, vacillated, or equivocated in his support.
For all practical purposes, national security and defense are among the few issues that truly fall under presidential power.
The endorsement of the Jerusalem Post could be a big factor in the erosion of the Jewish vote away from the Democrats, who have increasingly been visible in their support of Palestinian and pan-Arab causes.
