Five Steps for Obama

The Emergency Committee for Israel recommends President Obama take these five steps, if he’s interested in being considered a pro-Israel president:

1. When President Obama speaks to the UN General Assembly next week, he should refrain from criticizing Israel, as he has done in the past. Instead, he should deliver a ringing and unqualified defense of Israel as a democratic and Jewish state, denounce efforts to scapegoat and delegitimize Israel, and reassert the deep and unbreakable U.S. commitment to Israel’s security and wellbeing. And he can act in line with this commitment by announcing the United States’ departure from the appalling, anti-Israel UN Human Rights Council.
