Carly Fiorina’s Israel Pilgrimage: “Personal” my Eyes, Term Limits on Peace……..
“Experts see political benefits in Fiorina's 'personal' trip to Israel. GOP Senate candidate will tour Israel over Labor Day weekend and meet 'a number of people at high levels' of government. The trip could draw the attention of some Jewish voters….. Although Fiorina's campaign manager, Marty Wilson, said the trip is not intended to "drive any publicity" while she's in the country, it seems destined for maximum exposure. It will serve to remind conservative evangelicals, a key Republican voter bloc that sympathizes with Israel, of Fiorina's candidacy, and could also capture the attention of Jewish voters, who usually side with Democrats……”
I imagine she will also tour Palestinian “townships” and villages, just to get the other side of the issues. I am beginning to think that the short U.S. election cycle (or is it the long one) is solely responsible for failure to achieve peace in the Middle East. Every two years, every four years, are too short for anything to be done. The window for peace is barely a few months long, nay a few weeks long, before it is shut tight by the next election campaign. It would be better for peace if the House elections were every four years, at least, and the Senate elections were every eight years, at least. As for the presidential term…... oy vey.
