Obama, affirm the Jewish people's 3,200 year old connection to the Land of Israel
President Obama should affirm the Jewish people's historic connection with its homeland, absent from his 2009 Cairo speech, as well as to call for religious freedom for all Jews, a renewal of the peace process, and an effective response to Iran’s nuclear military ambitions.

The U.S. isn't in our pocket

Lesson of 2012: Israel's progressive Jews will continue to dissent
Israel’s progressives represent one of the deepest values of Jewish history: the value of dissent.
