RONALD LAUDER STANDS UP TO OBAMA

The head of the World Jewish Congress has written a letter to Obama asking him to stop his feud with Israel and work on real problems like the Iranian nuclear crisis (via One Jerusalem):

Lauder also queries President Obama on America’s wider strategy for the Middle East: “The Administration's desire to improve relations with the Muslim world is well known. But is friction with Israel part of this new strategy? Is it assumed worsening relations with Israel can improve relations with Muslims? History is clear on the matter: appeasement does not work. It can achieve the opposite of what is intended.”

It will be published tomorrow in the Wall Street Journal and Wash. Post. Lauder's done the right thing to speak up.
