Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

GOP Presidential Candidate Tim Pawlenty Denounces Obama on Israel Policy

HeadlineJun 29, 2011

In U.S. campaign news, Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty accused President Barack Obama on Tuesday of a timid and incoherent response to the “Arab Spring” uprisings in the Middle East. Pawlenty also criticized Obama’s handling of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Tim Pawlenty, Republican presidential candidate: “Nowhere has President Obama’s lack of judgment been more stunning than in his dealings with Israel. It breaks my heart that the president of this country treats Israel, our great friend, as a problem rather than as an ally. The President seems to genuinely believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies at the heart of every problem in the Middle East.”
