Top Jewish Americans ponder support for Obama
reuters ^ | May 21, 2011 | Eric Johnson

(Reuters) - Some prominent Jewish Americans are rethinking their support for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election bid after he effectively called on Israel to give back territory it has occupied since 1967 to Palestinians. The backlash after Obama's keynote speech on the Middle East has Democratic Party operatives scrambling to mollify the Jewish community as the president prepares to seek a second term in the White House.

That is what you really meant, isn't it?

The Jews who vote Democrat. Jews who gave millions upon millions to Obama to help him foment turmoil in the Middle East and help him encourage Israel's enemies to get to work.

But go ahead and lie. It suits you. You are obviously very comfortable doing it.

I think we should start blaming Catholics for voting for Obama. After all, FAR more Catholics voted for him than Jews.

Liberal Jews, like blacks, vote 90% Democrat.

Now you're a Steve Martin wannabe.

Just be yourself. You can't be that bad. I hope not, anyway.

I don’t doubt anything some of these so called leaders of our country would or would not do....and FDR was by no means the saint he is betrayed to be.

“Reading some of the snarky comments on this thread, it is no wonder that Jews in the US are wary of “Republicans.”

Exactly.

Thanks for that. I will not stand for it without a response. If he wants to be antisemitic, then he will feel the flames of response.

Jews understand that Obama is just continuing policies set into motion by the Bush-Clinton-Bush administrations, and suspect Republicans of partisan grandstanding. The RINOs that run the party are from the James “F_ the Jews” Baker wing.

So liberal Jews are the cause of your problems. You really should hear yourself, not far removed from Germany, are you? That is the excuse that was used in the 1930’s...they have reaped what they have sown. What have you sown, and what will you reap?

“How about you? Will you enjoy living under Sharia Law? This is one of the most ignorant statements that I have seen on this forum.”

I agree with you. I think that statement is absolutely hateful, and sick. Appalling, actually.

Ponder support?!?!?! Really??? Do they have a death wish? I have a few other choice things to say, but, I’ll hold my tongue.

Yea and there a few Christians like that too. You know what they say, actions speak louder than words. And I think Obama’s actions are screaming, I’M NOT A CHRISTIAN, I HATE AMERICA AND I HATE ISRAEL. If I believed in reincarnation, which I don’t, I’d swear that was Yasser living in the WH.

Sir, I am the FReeper who started this thread.

This thread's title connotates what the original intent was:

Top Jewish Americans ponder support for Obama

Your comment:

"So liberal Jews are the cause of your problems."

Liberal Jews or Jews in general aren't the problem, the Problem is when non-religious, ie.; most American Jews, vote democrat.

Surely you have been around FR long enough to realize that most FReepers support the State of Israel.

I myself am a Christian who loves the Jewish people and Israel and pray for them often.

Sure there is some anti-Jewish feelings here, but it is the exception rather than the rule.
