On the Obama-Jewish "leaders" meeting:-
Some of Obama's most ardent critics -- including the Zionist Organization of America and the National Council of Young Israel -- were among the notable absences from the list of those invited to the White House.
First, neutralize your opposition.
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union of Reform Judaism, delivered a ringing endorsement of Obama's demands for a settlement freeze, saying that settlement expansion was not in Israel's interest.
Then permit one of the most out-of-touch with political reality and outsider status groups within Israel to be highlighted.
Such pronouncements are likely to reinforce the growing perception in the Israeli government that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is unlikely to garner significant support among U.S. Jews should the disagreement with Obama over a settlement freeze escalate into a full-scale confrontation.
Define your object: subversion.
...Some Netanyahu advisers suggest writing off much of the U.S. Jewish community in the short term, maintaining relations only with those groups sympathetic to Netanyahu. Others suggest intensive outreach to left-leaning Jews.
Reveal, though, that things aren't reallt that bad.
The only signs of contention -- from Foxman, the ADL's national director, and Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Presidents Conference -- had to do with how Obama was handling his demand for a settlements freeze, not with its substance.
But suggest that even the Netanyahu supporters are wavering.
The media at the service of Israel's detractors.

It is funny how the Jews selected by osama and kaporahm fit the same profile the nazis chose for Judenrats. Religious leaders- no, secular bourgeois liberal business people- yes.
It is amazing that those most likely to make aliyah or have relatives who have , were kept out, but people like yoffie who are more likely to have intermarried children than olim children are invited as court Jews.
