Three-quarters of the members of the House of Representatives have signed onto a letter urging President Obama to keep his disputes with Israel out of the public eye.
The letter, initiated last week by a bipartisan slate of leaders, including Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the House of Representatives majority leader, and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House minority leader, says that “differences are best resolved quietly, in trust and confidence, as befits longstanding strategic allies.”
Tensions have flared over the last two weeks between the administrations of President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after Israel announced plans for 1,600 new housing units in a Jewish neighborhood of eastern Jerusalem during a visit to Israel by Vice President Joe Biden. — jta

Yup, keep it out of public view, in order to keep Obama’s prejudices private. Americans shouldn’t have to face the fact that the most leftist President in US history ain’t really kind to Jews—God forbid.
