Sent to you by Sean McBride via Google Reader: British P.M. Joins Sarkozy in Condemning Settlements. Where's Obama? via Mondoweiss by Philip Weiss on 7/20/08 British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has now done what French Prez Sarkozy has done, and Obama and Bush are incapable of doing: demanding an end to the settlements. This is clear evidence, if any more is needed, of the role of the Israel lobby in our politics. As J Street has haplessly demonstrated, it cannot ask American Jews to condemn the settlements and expect more than one hand clapping. It counts it as a victory when most Jews say that Israel should give up "many" of the settlements. Oh yes, reform Islam. And reform Judaism too!
