On the eve of President Barack Obama's key address to Muslims as part of a Middle East tour, the US leader faced growing pressure from fellow Democrats in Congress over his tough stance on Israel.

"I think the president went beyond where I think it was appropriate for us to go in dealing with another democracy," said Democratic Representative Anthony Weiner.

"Any conversations about settlements, which are perfectly reasonable, have to be coupled with a sincere effort on the part of the Palestinians."

In a rare public spat between Israel and its staunchest ally, the Obama administration has repeatedly demanded that Israel halt all settlement activity in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.

It’s called, cool it a tad so we can keep getting moronic Liberal Jews to donate to our coffers! As a conservative Jew myself, I find Liberal Jews reprehensible for they endanger all Jews and Israel.

Sheesh, am I to believe that there are still rats with a sense of honor? If so, I salute you.

What do you think Weiner is taking some real heat up in NYC? I'm sure he's been told that he could be replaced.

Same here. Any requests from Jewish charities get the intense scrutiny before I give. Don’t want any $ to Kumbiyah. Also, it’s time for some of the giblethead liberals to make exodus from various boards.

Nobody fears 0bama. He got rolled by the Senate 90-6 already and that was a clear signal that constituencies and self-interest are more important than worrying about the Kenyan.

This analyst is wrong. Bibi won't dare give up East Jerusalem after they legally annexed it following the 6 day war. The Palestinians have their state, Gaza, and that's all they will get.

Dim leadership are a bunch of jackbooted fascist thugs. I doubt any of them would lift a finger to help Israel. They are scum.

They are past scum. The only country they hate worse than Israel is America. I can't wait for justice to catch up with them.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and call them with thanks tomorrow. I'm looking for glimmers of sense and trying to reinforce them while hammering them on bad ideas.

They haven’t seen the real story of the butchery of Hamas and Hezbollah towards anyone they don’t like. The call him a zionist conpspirator and drag from his home and shot in front of hid family. If the wife resists to much, they might rape her before killing them. They treat members of Fatah, pretty much the same way.

WE need to force them to watch it, over and over again, just as they also need to repeatedly see the two films from the 200 Hezbollah-Isreli War from the eyes of Arab families living inside Israel and in Lebanon.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who heads a largely right-wing cabinet, has so far refused and insisted on Israel’s right to “natural growth” in the settlements, a euphemism for additional construction to accommodate population growth.”

A “euphemism”? Sheesh.

Come on that is an exageration - While we have our differences, I'm sure that they are not "jackbooted fascist thugs," right?

Right? - er...

The only country they hate worse than Israel is America.

It's also called CYA for these 'Rats who are distancing themselves from O, as protection from a possible anti-'Rat backlash from pro-Israel voters in the 2010 election.
