The desperate Clinton campaign is trying to scare her base of liberal Jewish voters away from Obama:

"Daphna Ziman, a longtime friend of Hillary Clinton's who has co-chaired several events for her, forwarded an e-mail from the Republican Jewish Coalition, a grass-roots [sic] GOP group, criticizing Obama for proposing a Muslim summit. In a Jan. 31 interview with Paris Match, Obama said he wanted "an honest discussion about ways to bridge the gap that grows between Muslims and the West."

"Senators Clinton, Obama, McCain and Governor Huckabee have demonstrated their support for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship," AIPAC president Howard Friedman wrote to Newsweek... The few mainstream Jewish and Israeli figures who criticize Obama focus on his apparent willingness as president to talk to the Iranian regime." -- Newsweek

Like the Newsweek headline says, whatever is "good for the Jews" is all that matters, and the Senators are falling over each other to prove it. See our previous comments on McCain-Lieberman and the RJC.
