David Frum complained yesterday that while Obama embraced the notion that "the Zionist idea has justice on its side," he followed that up with a "disclaimer." What was the "disclaimer" that so upset Frum? This:

OBAMA: That does not mean that I would agree with every action of the state of Israel, because it's a government and it has politicians, and as a politician myself I am deeply mindful that we are imperfect creatures and don’t always act with justice uppermost on our minds.

Frum generously declares that Obama is not anti-semitic, but finds him guilty of being "cavalier with Israel's security"

"I do not believe that the man hates Israel, but he doesn't love it either"

A recent Gallup poll found that among American Jewish voters, Obama destroys McCain (61-32%)

The neoconservative views of Frum, a former Bush speechwriter, are representative only of a small minority of American Jews

there is no issue that permits less free debate than ones related to Israel
