After Obama hangs Israel out to dry, will American Jews still be ultra liberal?

Probably. I am coming to the conclusion that liberal American Jews think Israel is a warmongering embarrassment. And they never were too hot on all that Zion jazz anyway.

Now Obama is going to learn that when it comes to extremist Islamists talk accomplishes nothing. I wonder how long it will take for him to figure this out?

the great thing about being a liberal is you never have to learn anything.
After all if they were capable of learning would they be liberals?

Obama is going to learn that Israel will protect itself. Israel will not open its borders unless it no longer wants to exist.

I support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. But Poor America has to suffer lessons of our government way more than Israel or any other country.

"What’s wrong with that?

An "appropriate monitoring regime, with the international [community] and Palestinian Authority participating." is an irresponsible, naive' pipe dream not worthy of a high school freshman civics class. How do you "appropriately monitor" lunatic religious fanatics intent on murdering you and are lying and cheating to do it?

YOU FIRST OBAMA!

as a show of solidarity, OBAMA should take his whole family on a drive in a REGULAR car. Or maybe open the doors to the white house to whomever may want to visit while he and his family are in residence.

but of course he couldn’t put HIS family in harms way.

Did Obama ever decide whether he was for an undivided Jerusalem, or a divided Jerusalem? He flipped with about twelve hours on that one during the campaign.

But this proposal is insane, if he means the borders from Gaza into Israel. Too insane to contemplate.

Im beginning to think the Obama flame out is coming quickly.

I hope so. Polls show very high support for Israel, 70% and more.

Israel could re-occupy the Gaza/Egypt border, along with others as trainees (US, PLA, Egypt, Europe, etc..) Destroy the tunnels and man the restricted entry points.

Not enough bandwidth for a full answer, but how about BEEN THERE DONE THAT GOT KILLED...

This clown has only been in office two days and has stepped in dogshit with every move he has made so far. What happened to "On day one I will call in the Joint Chiefs and the Sec. of Defense and formulate a strategy for IRAQ, Gitmo, bla etc."?

The dunce chose to remain ignorant, a place where he is most comfortable, and issue executive orders which work against the protections President Bush worked so hard to acquire for us.

I want this dope to fail at all of the "initiatives and programs" he wants to inflict upon us.

From a really ugly uber-Machiavellian perspective, you could make the argument that this move (opening the Gaza border) would ultimately bring peace to the region—in the sense that it would mean the eventual total genocide/expulsion of Israel’s Jewish population.

'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel' Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu's term as PM unfortunately came during the Clinton Administration, which actively tried to undermine him, and sent Carville over to assist his opponent in a campaign. Netanyahu might be PM again soon, and might be worse off than before.

“Ok, so put in a coalition of the willing, with the will and power to shoot back.”

Who do you propose that isn’t completely fed up, and who both sides would consider trustworthy?
