Americans Jews who are also liberals, are liberals first, Jews second. Since 1920, American Jews have always voted Democratic, although Reegan and Bush II polled the most of any GOP Presidential candidate (39%-44%).
The bottom line is that liberals tend to get their news from the Leftist mainstream media, and this election was like no other in terms of how the media directly manipulated the outcome. Thanks to the media's slobbering love affair with Obama coupled with their rabid attacks on McCain, and especially Palin, 65 million non-Jews bought into the same hype as the 1 million+ American Jews.
In other words, O-BOZO's promises and pledges to Israel have morphed into an nonegalitarian, nomecumenical, mishmash of morons.
Some Jews are just too mesmerized or brainwashed to notice that when Obama says he empathizes with the Jews, he's also enabling Muslims to have their way in Israel. When Jewish families are met by moving trucks with orders to vacate their homes and hand over property to Palestinian families, perhaps Obama-supporting Jews will get an inking of how they're being hoodwinked.
In the meantime, maybe this campaign will offer a moment of clarity to some of the 78% ...
Jerusalem Protests Label Obama Anti-Semitic

An estimated 250 Israelis took to the streets in Jerusalem Wednesday, chanting “No you can't!” in protest of growing American pressure to halt expansion of West Bank settlements, on the eve of President Obama’s major address to Muslims on Thursday.
The protests are but one indication of the strong political reaction in Israel to the settlement issue, as well as a growing unease over President Obama’s support for the Arab nations vis-à-vis Israel.
According to the Jerusalem Post, speakers at the rally included Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari, the wife of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, and activist-rabbi Shalom Gold.
“Mr. Obama be a friend of Israel but even if you won't be, we have the greatest ally in the world,” Rabbi Gold said pointing skyward to heaven, the newspaper reported.
Israeli sources tell Newsmax the protest is only the beginning of a much larger campaign that will apparently go so far as to portray Obama as anti-Semitic.
Israeli Web sites are already showing images of campaign posters depicting Obama wearing a keffiyah, the traditional Arab scarf favored by the late Yasser Arafat and other Arab leaders.
The Jerusalem Post, which reports the Jewish National Front is backing the campaign, says the posters of Obama will be “flanked by the words, ‘anti-Semite,’ and ‘Jew-hater,’” written in both English and Hebrew.
A left-wing activist group, Peace Now, immediately demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renounce the anti-Obama campaign.
You would think that Jews in Israel would have a problem with this sudden shift (actually, if you look at the reader comment with this article, they are incredulous about this):
'Israel, Bush administration had no agreement over settlements'
'Israel, Bush administration had no agreement over settlements'
Jun. 6, 2009
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POSTUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared late Friday that she was unaware of any agreement between her country's previous administration and Israel concerning the expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
"I do not recall any agreement between Israel and George Bush's previous government, according to which Israel will be authorized to extend the construction of settlements in the West Bank," Clinton said at a news conference with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu at the State Department.
"There is no memory of any informal and oral agreements. If they did occur, which of course people say they did, they did not become part of the official position of the United States government.
"And there are contrary documents that suggest that they were not to be viewed as in any way contradicting the obligations that Israel undertook pursuant to the road map." she added. "And those obligations are very clear."
On Thursday President Barack Obama clarified his administration's policy towards the settlements in his address to the Muslim world in Cairo, stating that "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements it is time for these settlements to stop."
Soon after Obama's speech, a senior administration official told The Jerusalem Post that Washington feels "an arrangement that works" can be hammered out with Israel on the settlement issue.
"There's a professional, constructive dialogue on this issue," the official said. "We have differences, but believe we can find an arrangement that works."
This Jew can show an example from the reverse. I'm a conservative because of views on life, constitution, republic, 2nd Amendment, work ethic, free markets, and others. If Republicans were for all that... AND for the Pali's while the 'Rats were for Israel, I'd still be a conservative and vote Republican.
But, then back to reality... the conservative list I started above dovetails with being a strong supporter of Israel, so no need to have to choose.
In other words, O-BOZO’s promises and pledges to Israel have morphed into an nonegalitarian, nomecumenical, mishmash of morons.

Tooooooooooooo much truth to that.
