Michael Moore exposed to the American public how the Bush administration deals kindly to Saudi Arabia. Now, members of the Jewish-American establishment are getting upset about it, and rightfully so.
Gordon Goldstein, of the Foreign Policy Leadership Council, remarked in the pages of The Forward:
Most observers acknowledge that Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, himself a Saudi, are the culprits behind the terrorist strikes. Key figures in the Saudi leadership, however, have remarkably tried to blame the attacks on unidentified Jewish forces. Following last month’s terrorist attack in Yanbu, Crown Prince Abdullah, the de facto Saudi ruler, told local television that “Zionism is behind terrorist actions in the kingdom…. This has been established, I am not saying by 100%, but by 95%.”
A few days later, his comments were echoed by the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Saud Al-Faisal, who claimed: “Extremist Zionist elements are… disseminating lies and incitement against the Saudi government…. The terror operations taking place today serve the interests of the extremist Zionist elements.” Two weeks ago, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to Britain, remarked: “Specifically since September 11, the kingdom has been a center for concentrated merciless attacks by the Zionists.”
The Anti-Defamation League also has an extensive profile on Saudi Arabia’s anti-Semitic media.

And Bush Sr. had Fred Malek as a high-ranking supervisor, Malek who had some anti-Semitic ties, I recall. Even Bush Sr. never descended to language like “ride herd” like Junior AWOL Boy, though, I believe.

Nonetheless, I take issue with “This site sucks” poster. Explain to me exactly what GW has done for Jews or the Jewish state. Under Democrats’ watch, (Carter and Clinton) Israel signed peace treaties with Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, and established a small relationship with a number of other countries in the Middle East.
If you want to argue that GW or the Republicans are any better, please state why with some facts to back up that claim. Don’t just make claims without backing them up.
