Los Angeles Times reports that Hollywood is torn between its pro-Obama heart and its pro-Clinton head
Notoriously, Hollywood is a major source of overwhelmingly Jewish money for Democratic candidates. Indeed, in a recent blog, Philip Weiss noted that “Steve Rabinowitz, Clinton friend, told me this year that if anyone did a study of how much Dem money comes from Jews, it would fuel conspiracy theories.”
Now the Los Angeles Times reports that Hollywood is torn between its pro-Obama heart and its pro-Clinton head. What’s striking about this is that all this money goes to leftist political candidates who are sure to be stalwart soldiers in pursuit of multicultural America and other high-minded causes.
But they don’t spend any of that money on attempting to wrest control of the pro-Israel lobby from the hands of what James Petras terms the “reactionary minority of American Jews” who head the major American Jewish organizations. While supporting the left in the US, they are complicit in dispossessing the Palestinians and erecting a racialist, apartheid state in Israel.
Whatever one might say about this, it is certainly not based on moral principles. The cynics among us suspect that the only consistency here is that they have a quite different perception of Jewish interests in the US and in Israel — a post-European America with a powerful Jewish minority, and a thriving Jewish ethnostate in Israel.
This point fits well with Christopher Donovan‘s Media Watch Comment on the Obama phenomenon: As he notes, Jewish “conservatives” are also attracted to Obama. Both the Jewish left and the Jewish right have the same basic vision of a post-European America. And they both support a racialist ethnostate in Israel. The only difference is that Jews who call themselves conservatives are more candid about their support of a racialist and apartheid Israel than are the Hollywood left and most American Jews.
