My name is Ben Shapiro, and I'm a nationally syndicated columnist with 
Creators Syndicate, as well as a Harvard Law-educated lawyer in Los 
Angeles. I'm an Orthodox Jew -- my wife hails from Israel, where we were 
just married in July. So the issue of Israel is very near and dear to me, 
as it is to most other Jews.

With Israel in mind, this is an enormous election season for American 
Jewry. It pits a consistently strong defender of Israel in John McCain 
against a man who is at best an enigma on the issue of Israel. At worst, 
Barack Obama is far more dangerous. His advisors are largely anti-Israel. 
His friends are consistently anti-Israel. His running mate, Joe Biden, 
says all of the right things but has a questionable record on the Jewish 
State. And the candidate himself is ambivalent on his defense of Israel -- 
he reversed himself on a united Jerusalem over the course of 24 hours, and 
states that he will meet with Hitler-lite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without 
preconditions.

And yet most American Jews are convinced that Obama is a less threatening 
version of Bill Clinton. They believe that Obama loves the State of 
Israel, will stand up for Israel's interests, and only wants to see the 
Israelis come to a quick and just agreement with Palestinian Arabs that 
protects Israel's long-term safety and security.

There is no evidence to that effect. In fact, all the evidence points in 
the opposite direction.

To the end of educating American Jews on Israel -- as well as Israel's 
non-Jewish American supporters -- I've produced a three-part YouTube video 
entitled "The Jewish Case Against Barack Obama.

Here's the link to the trailer at YouTube.com:

The videos are already garnering lots of attention and hits. Please 
forward them to everyone you know.

For fifty years, Jews have been gratefully voting for Harry Truman. 
Truman, unfortunately, is gone, and his party has largely become a 
respository of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiment. Jews cannot live in 
the past when it comes to 2008. They must make a choice between McCain and 
Obama. When it comes to Israel, the choice is clear.
