NEW YORK, May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American traditional Jews congratulated President Obama for his remarks last week directed at the state of "Israel" demonstrating his courage to stand up to anti-Semitism at its worst, camouflaged in the name of Zionism undermining the existence of Judaism, in the name of Judaism, undermining the Torah in the name of the Torah and destroying creations in the name of the Creator.
"May God strengthen your courage against the corrupt media with its goals to establish that Zionism represents Judaism," said Rabbi Yoel Klein of the organization Jewish Response. "Your courage is the greatest gift for American Jewry and Jewry worldwide."
"We will be grateful if our friends in the Legislative Branch will follow the courageous example of the Executive Branch in the quest for peace and not be taken in by the mistaken belief that advancing Zionism will be to their benefit." Rabbi Klein continued, "Consider the fact that the president had a 67% majority of Jewish voters even when they knew that his legacy did not favor Zionism. A recent Gallop poll shows 50% of today's young American Jews are not comfortable with the idea of a 'Jewish' state at all. The Legislators should be mindful that applauding the Jewish State may lose the support of their Jewish voters whereas embracing the president's ideals of achieving peace and harmony in the Middle East may gain them new friends and supporters."
