I think it shows that Oren remains pretty politically squishy-left.
Nonetheless, this is worth considering:
"The greatest impact, which has yet to be fully assessed, is
within the Jewish community. Oren does not mince words about his
abhorrence with the manner in which certain Jewish “liberals” in the
administration and media, such as Thomas Friedman and Leon Wieseltier,
have goaded Obama to toughen his attitude toward Israel."
"I predict that when the dust settles, nothing will change
with the far-Left liberals whose veneration of Obama is almost
messianic. But among more open-minded pro-Israel Democrats, Oren is
likely to have a profound impact and will hopefully encourage some of
them to review their position. The conservatives will of course claim
that they were always on the right side of the angels and that Oren is
merely stating what they have been saying for years."
