NEW YORK – On a rare foray outside his native Texas, Governor Rick Perry accused US President Barack Obama of “appeasement” towards the Palestinians. Former New York City Mayor Edward Koch supported a Catholic Republican congressional candidate against a Jewish Democrat in New York, because the Republican supports Israel through thick and thin – and because Obama had voiced reservations about Israel’s expansion of settlements on the West Bank.
纽约——德州州长佩里（Rick Perry）首次在德州之外开火了，他指责奥巴马“姑息”巴勒斯坦人。前纽约市长郭德华（Edward Koch）在纽约州支持天主教共和党国会议员候选人，反对犹太民主党候选人，因为共和党候选人事无巨细都支持以色列，也因为奥巴马对以色列的约旦河先定居点扩张计划持保留态度。用郭德华的话说，奥巴马“把以色列扔下了车。”结果，共和党候选人获胜了。
