To grasp the particular lens through which the New York Times covers the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, one need look no farther than an article by Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner about a minor controversy over an Arab member of Israel's Supreme Court who stood during the singing of "Hatikvah," the national anthem, but did not sing along with the court's other members. ("Anger and Compassion for Arab Justice Who Stays Silent During Zionist Hymn" March 5, page 10.")

AIPAC
Richard Baehr discusses Obama and AIPAC.
If Obama is re-elected, Israel's leverage on US politics will be severely diminished in a second term. Obama will not have to face the voters again or raise money from the Jewish community. Is there any reason to expect that Obama will pursue a new harder line against Iran, and coordinate more with Israel in a second term, assuming the situation is not resolved by January 2013? Is there reason to think Obama will blame Israel less and the Palestinians more in a second term for failure to achieve peace, or that the pressure on Israel to make concessions will be more intense than ever before?
The answer to these questions, I think is obvious. Barack Obama did nothing at AIPAC to allay the concerns of any American who stands with Israel.

The AIPAC speech
When President Obama takes the stage on Sunday morning before the American Israel Public Affairs Conference, it could represent a pivotal moment for Obama to keep Jewish voters in his corner.
Republicans have sought to peel off the Jewish vote from Obama, as his tenuous relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will address AIPAC Monday after a one-on-one meeting with Obama, has led to accusations that he isn't supportive of Israel.
