This is neither unusual nor suspect—especially in the United States where the Jewish demographic tends to be more fundamentally Zionist than the Israelis [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Barack Obama, the Zionist", url: "http://harmonicminor.com/2008/06/06/barack-obama-the-zionist/" });</script>]]></description>
