Slouching towards Jerusalem: a conspiracy

"Why did Jerusalem reference disappear from the Democratic Party platform?"

AIPAC was consulted when the original platform was drafted (amazing, it itself, when you think about it), but made no complaint.

Then the shit hit the fan, and Obama was forced to endorse the Likudnik position, as planned.

"Chaos During Dems Platform Vote"  Note how desperate the Democrats were to have this passed.  They clearly did not get the support of half the delegates, let alone two-thirds!
