Wrong again!
Wednesday, for the sixth time since taking office, President Obama released a Hanukkah message that distorted the story of the holiday and served his anti-Israel policy. In his message, Obama left out the most essential part of the Maccabees victory: the recapture of Jerusalem and the re-dedication of the Holy Temple atop what is now known as the Temple Mount, a fact he's omitted every year of his presidency, and something his predecessor George Bush mentioned in each of his Hanukkah messages.
The liberation of Jerusalem and the cleansing of the Temple from the Hellenistic idols and rituals is a most important part of the Hanukkah story. In fact, the meaning of the name of the holiday in Hebrew translates to the word "dedication" in English. A fact that, unlike his predecessor, President Obama ignores in his presidential Hanukkah statements.Read the whole thing. When Obama doesn't like the narrative, he makes up a new one.

Many, many items about Democrats. Does anyone around here know that Dr. Ben Carson, Republican, is visiting Israel and making strong statements in support of Israel? He is recently retired Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. He's brilliant and would probably be VERY interested in promoting Israel's *actual* useful innovations, not the Gaia/Google $lu$h Sinkholes. Does anyone care? Speak up if you do!!
