Comparing the language of the 2008 Democratic Party Platform and the 2012 Democratic Party Platform a key section was removed.
That section called for isolating Hamas “until it renounces terrorism,” so now, evidently, Democrats are OK with Hamas terrorism.
Press statement from Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition: “This administration is painfully out of touch with the mainstream of the Jewish community, which knows that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and that it must remain the undivided capital of the Jewish State of Israel.”

Well, did you see the results from the vote to censure Holder?

Weasel Zippers had a good point that maybe the language abandoning Israel in favor of the terrorists was necessary to get Jimmy Carter to speak.
Or it may also be that hatred for the Jews is now the official policy of the Democratic party so Carter feels at home. Either way, it is impossible to understand why the Dems would want to remind anyone that Carter still exists when everyone is saying that Obama is pretty much what would have happened in Carter’s second term.
