Alan Dershowitz: Media Matters Hurts Obama

Nor do I believe that President Obama is aware that an organization that claims close ties to his administration is saying such bigoted things about AIPAC, which is headed by his close friend Lee “Rosy” Rosenberg (no relation to MJ), and about Jewish supporters of Israeli policies, most of whom voted for him and are probably intending to vote for him again. Indeed some of the positions that Rosenberg condemns as disloyal to America—punishing sanctions against Iran, the unacceptability of a nuclear armed Iran, support for Israeli security—are President Obama’s declared positions.

To allay all doubt on where the Obama Administration stands on these issues, President Obama should quickly dissociate himself and his administration from Rosenberg’s hate speech. Unless Media Matters fires Rosenberg, the President should also distance himself from Media Matters. He will be asked about this issue when he speaks to Jewish or pro-Israel audiences and when he is interviewed or participates in debates.  He should be prepared with a strong answer, just as he was when he was asked about Reverend Wright.

One Response to “Alan Dershowitz: Media Matters Hurts Obama”

  1. Shalom Freedman says:

    M.J. Rosenberg appears to a particularly despicable enemy of Israel. I do not know if he still has a column in the ‘Jerusalem Post’. I would hope that the editors of ‘The Jerusalem Post’ for whom Rosenberg has written realize that his kind of hatred of Israel should not be given a forum by a self- respecting Israeli newspaper.
