The Emergency Committee For Israel Was FOR The ’67 Borders BEFORE It Was AGAINST THEM

Bullshit Ad Alert!

:smoke:




"..The Washington Post’s blogger Jennifer Rubin reports that the neoconservative Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI) has a new ad accusing President Obama of “siding with the Palestinians” in his May 19 speech, where he stated that “the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.” Check out the ad here:

Asked about the ad, ECI board member Bill Kristol told Rubin, “We’re the Emergency Committee for Israel. So it’s appropriate for us to thank friends of Israel for stepping up for the Jewish state at this time of testing — even when a president of their own party is unfortunately stepping away.” Yet here’s what ECI’s own executive director Noah Pollak tweeted about the speech as it was happening::rant:







So, first Pollak thought the line about the ’67 borders was no big deal, and said so. But then, when there was an opportunity to attack President Obama, the line about the ’67 borders magically became a dangerous betrayal of Israel. You really couldn’t ask for a better demonstration of bad faith.
