Why Conservative Jews should support Kerry.

In The Jerusalem Report, Gershom Gorenberg, associate editor, explains why Jews supporting Bush because of his stance on Israel would be better off switching: "Bush's supposed support for Israel is an illusion. The real Bush record on Israel consists of missed chances and neglect. Four more years of the same is unthinkable. Everything in Bush's record shows he has neither understanding of diplomacy nor interest in it....John Kerry's approach to foreign policy is fundamentally different from Bush's. Kerry is obviously eager to plunge into diplomacy, and to create confidence in agreed solutions." You can download a PDF of the opinion here . I couldn't find it online. Please share this article with Jewish voters on your e-mail list, especially those in Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, and other swing states.
