Disturbing: Orthodox Union Makes Trouble for Israel Over Key Issue
See here for a discussion of the traditional firm Orthodox Jewish stance against Palestinian state: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/140841
Unfortunately, an American Jewish organization, the OU, with close ties with the Obama administration http://blogs.jta.org/politics/article/2009/04/06/1004289/diament-ratzan-named-to-obamas-faith-based-council, has just switched sides and begun advocating for Palestinian state while disregarding the entrapment inherent in that plan for Israel. See 3rd paragraph from bottom ("We support a two-state solution") in: http://www.ou.org/public_affairs/weblog_single/77552
Even when apparently asked point-blank by dismayed former supporters to clarify that it does not support Palestinian state, OU continued to waffle: http://www.ou.org/public_affairs/weblog_single/77843
Kindly consider contacting the OU to protest this. Example letter (if you don't enjoy writing your own):
Dear OU Management,
It is unthinkable to me that an Orthodox Jewish organization should support Palestinian state. This notion means an additional hostile, anti-Semitic Arab-Moslem state immediately overlooking Jerusalem, Tel-Aviv and Israel's sole international airport. It also exposes the Jewish people as a population willing to give away forever, crucial assets to which they are far more entitled than the Palestinians are. This is an extremely damaging image to have, considering the many powerful enemies who constantly aspire to test the Jewish people's resolve. Sincerely, (name)
OU addresses are as follows; if you wish, bcc us at: us4israel@gmail.com:

Please feel free to pass this letter on to other friends of Israel and particularly Orthodox American Jews. If you receive a response from the OU managers, kindly forward to us4israel@gmail.com.
Thanks for helping Israel.
