Only 40% of Democrats say Israel is justified to attack Gaza

Only 40 percent of U.S. Democrats believe in the right of self defense, at least when it comes to the Jewish state of Israel, according to a new poll released this week.

A new CNN poll shows that only "four in ten Democrats believe that Israel's actions in Gaza are justified."

Although 57 percent of U.S. citizens agree that Israel's military response in Gaza against Hamas rocket attacks is justified, only 40 percent of Democrats polled side with Israel.

Most Republicans supported Israel with a whopping 74 percent, while 59 percent of independents also supported Israel.

In May of this year, the GOP-controlled House voted to provide an additional $680 million in funding for Israel's Iron Dome program. The bill passed despite over 100 Democrats voting against it including Debbie Wasserman-Shultz. Today, the bill sits in the Democrat-controlled Senate still awaiting a vote.

Democrats are no friends of Israel.

This is not going to persuade Jews. Republicans have GOT to stop trying to win the Jewish vote. It’s not going to happen. Obama is more hostile to Israel than any modern US president and US Jews still voted for him overwhelmingly - twice. And they will vote overwhelmingly for the next Democrat presidential candidate. Outside of Israel, the great majority of Jews vote for secular progressive party’s. They’ve been doing this for all of modern history. There is a reason so many in Europe associated Jews with communism.

Liberals are so disgusting that they have less core values than Willard Mitt Romney, and that is saying something, and it sure isn’t good. Frankly, it’s sad when one side of the political spectrum doesn’t get the fact that they sympathize with an apartheid regime that would gladly trample them under their feet. It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant or blatantly hypocritical the left is for sympathizing with an ideology that treats women badly, treats Jews and Christians pretty much like farm animals, and treats homosexuals so badly it makes one wonder why there isn’t mass outrage at the Palestinians for the homosexuals killed by angry mobs or executions, much less the Iranian president who claims there are “no homosexuals in Iran”, then when Chris Stevens, who based on plenty of surrounding details, was likely a discrete homosexual, I see more condolence over his death from the religious right than I do from the left, who seems to care little more than trying to argue some alternate history than Obama blaming the obscure video, which he Clinton and Susan Rice did do.

Either way, my only warning to the left is, “I warned you, and when they come for you, frankly, you shouldn’t have wasted your time selling out your fellow Americans and Democracy campaigners in Israel to these Savages, because like mad dogs, they will tear you up to, might as well take a stand with your fellow Americans in supporting the tolerance and freedom that constitutes Israel in contrast to the awful self-destructive culture that constitutes a lot of the Middle East.

If true, these numbers are disgusting.

Remember all of those meth moms and welfare queens that gave birth to kids they didn’t bother to raise? Well, they grew into big people and they vote.

40% of Democrats probably never heard of Isreal or Gaza...and not interested if they can’t get one for free!

“This is not going to persuade Jews. Republicans have GOT to stop trying to win the Jewish vote. It’s not going to happen.”

Conservatives such as myself have argued for Israel for years. Frankly, I find the whole thing disappointing, given that I am not even Jewish, I have had a whole lot better concern by all I have written and said regarding Israel. But the sad story is that there will be some professed “Christians” and some professed “Jews” who will be open enemies to God in the last days.

Another way of saying this is that there are Ruth Grubers and Oscar Schindlers (a Jew and a non-Jew who both worked to save people from the Holocaust) But there will also be those, both Christian and Jew, who try to throw examples of Democracy in a savage world (Israel) under the bus for the sake of appeasing the radical Islam, effectively giving a win to the ideologies of Osama bin Laden, Yasir Arafat, et al.

i THINK the Israelis need to drive the Jordanian Arabs from the West Bank into their ancestral homaland of Jordan, while the Egyptian Arabs need to be driven from Gaza to their ancestral homeland of Egypt.
