A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
The Wise Men Of Chelm

Last week, Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, published ads critical of the Obama administration's Israel policy.

An unnamed "Jewish leader" told JTA: "For all intents and purposes, the WJC's relationship with the White House ended last week. That's not a relationship that pro-Israel groups can afford to have over the next couple of years."

Meanwhile, Haaretz reports that administration officials are angry about Lauder's ad and the ad placed by Elie Wiesel in leading newspapers.

If you criticize Obama you're persona non grata at the White House. So evidently, our leaders have determined that not criticizing Obama - who has no qualms at all about publicly bashing Israel - is the only way to go. Maintaining a "relationship with the White House" is the key - even without having any influence on its policy.
