Sheldon Schorer is the counsel and spokesperson of the Israeli branch of the American Democratic Party. He has served Democrats Abroad in Israel since 1988, in the capacities of counsel and chairman.

Schorer explains why he believes that the perception of the Bush administration as beneficial to Israel was erroneous, and annotates that Israel’s position in the world and the prospects for peace were worse at the end of his administration than at its beginning. Furthermore, he remarks that the Jewish American voter needs to grow up and recognize that Obama acts in Israel’s interests, and that maintaining the peace talks should be a mutual interest of all sides involved.
