Philip Walotsky, who said that he works at a company that produces “healthy foods with a dash of Israeli-Palestinian relations,” said that he appreciated Obama’s nuance on questions about the Middle East.
“It’s called Jewance,” [Jeremy] Goldberg [chairman of Generation Obama] said. “That’s a joke we made up in one of our Jewish-community meetings. But, if you like Obama, it’s because he’s someone who really knows what he’s talking about.”
Goldberg recommended that young Jewish Obama supporters use the same approach when talking to their older relatives. He admitted, “I’m still working on my own grandmother. This is someone who’s been politically active. She still reads the Cleveland Jewish News, even though she’s living in Houston. She voted for Jimmy Carter, and she regrets it, so she uses a Jimmy Carter sponge to wring out when she gets really mad.” He said that she had been a Hillary supporter but was beginning to waver. “Our grandmothers trust us,” he said. “She’s starting to say, ‘Well, if you like him that much. . . .’ “
