Last week, Jeffrey Goldberg suggested it would be very smart for President Obama to use his Rosh Hashanah message to say he stands with Israel, is a resolute friend, and has its back -- with a direct reference to Iran. Since Obama's message includes none of these, perhaps it is time for people such as Goldberg to engage in some serious self-reflection. When a president refuses to visit Israel, omits from his platform a reference to it as America's strongest ally, and refuses to meet with its prime minister, you don't have to be Jewish to get the message, although you may have to be Jewish to miss it.

Congratulations, Elan. I have never read a better-written or more sensible comment. Many thanks!
