It is perhaps no coincidence that the President was the 51<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;candidate \u2013 as Israel itself is often referred to as America\u2019s 51<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;state.&nbsp; Since its announcement, this bonus inclusion has sparked debate across the blogosphere \u2014 just another example of the constant kvetching of \u201cbut is it good for the Jews?\u201d that has characterized the Barack Obama presidency.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Forward\u2019s editors themselves alluded to a curious recent move by two pillars of the American-Jewish establishment to shush the naysayers. Two weeks ago, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and American Jewish Congress (AJC) announced a \u2018National Pledge for Unity on Israel\u2019 which stated its belief that \u201cthe U.S.-Israel relationship should never be used as a political wedge issue,\u201d and called for the Jewish community to \u201creaffirm that Israel\u2019s well-being is best served, as it has always been, by American voices raised together in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adl.org\/unitypledge\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.adl.org\/unitypledge\/\">unshakeable support for our friend and ally<\/a>.&#8221; The subtext of this statement \u2014 decried by Jewish groups on left and right \u2013 was that criticism of Obama should not be tolerated during the campaign season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The censorship of free speech implicit in this announcement struck me not only as un-American but as distinctly un-Jewish!&nbsp; Since when do the yentas of the organized Jewish community come out against campaign kibbitzing?&nbsp; This led me to speculate that there could be a quid pro quo between the ADL-AJC and the Obama administration. And what might this be?&nbsp; I would like to suggest that the connection has to do with American Jewry&#8217;s three sacred Ps:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pollard \u2013 On regular intervals, the Jewish-American establishment resurrects its favorite cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, Jonathan Pollard, who is quickly approaching his 25<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;year in prison.&nbsp; Might Obama consider the silencing of his critics and the addition of some much-needed ballots (especially in heavily Jewish swing-states like Florida) a fair trade for Pollard\u2019s release?&nbsp; In my estimation, the ADL-AJC unity pact is unlikely to influence enough voters to deliver tangible outcomes for the administration to trade a big fish like Pollard.&nbsp; Unfortunately for Pollard, I expect him to be watching the campaign from his jail cell.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Palestine \u2014 The Palestinians&#8217; recent U.N. bid to recognize a sovereign Palestine has caused much unholy indigestion in Jewish circles. Would the Jewish establishment be willing to wash its mouth out with soap in exchange for a U.S. veto at the Security Council?&nbsp; This scenario, too, strikes me as improbable, as the quid pro quo is more likely between Israel (on settlements) and the Obama administration than with the American Jewish community.&nbsp; Moreover, since the U.S. has apparently engineered a stalemate at the UN that likely won\u2019t require it to cast a vote, there is little to be gained in a backroom deal at Abe\u2019s house.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pressure \u2014 This leaves the \u201crugelach in hand is worth a knish in the bush\u201d strategy of American-Jewish politics.&nbsp; The unity pact can easily be seen as a small concession to Obama that costs the Jewish establishment nothing but could pay great dividends in the future.&nbsp; An empty gesture of rhetorical restraint now for the ability to call in a favor later seems like the most plausible explanation for this arrangement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While I caution that the idea of a quid pro quo is only uninformed and harmless speculation, the organized Jewish community has staked a large political bet on Obama\u2019s future.&nbsp; In upholding this unity pact, it risks both losing its voice and an election. Surely the editors of the Forward Fifty would agree that no Jewish leader makes their list by keeping their mouth shut.&nbsp; Maybe next year the 51<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;award should celebrate the \u2018cukleffel of the campaign\u2019 instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, Forward Magazine named Barack Obama their honorary winner of the \u201cForward Fifty,\u201d a list of 2011\u2019s&nbsp;fifty most influential Jewish Americans&nbsp;in the spheres of politics, religion, business, culture, sport, activism, and the media.&nbsp;
