Netanyahu Tactics Anger Many U.S. Jews, Deepening a Divide By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

MARCH 20, 2015

Long before the latest election in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu was a polarizing figure among American Jews. But even many of his supporters said this week that they were appalled at his last-minute bid to mobilize Jewish voters by warning that Arabs were going to the polls in droves, and his renunciation of a two-state solution to the Palestinian crisis.

Mr. Netanyahu’s party won the election and cheers from harwkish American Jews. But in interviews this week, rabbis, scholars and Jews from across the country and a range of denominations said that with his campaign tactics, he had further divided American Jews and alienated even some conservatives, who had already suspected that he was more committed to building settlements than building peace with the Palestinians.

We Jews at the NY Slimes value liberalism over our ancestral culture. We worship at the throne of liberalism and think it is OK to have Israel wiped off the map because of their intolerant policies!

Just read the article. They are quoting women “rabbis”—according to Jewish law, women cannot BE rabbis, so you know they’re talking about Reform Jews who make up their own version of Judaism as they go along. Virtually all of the other “Jews” they quote are Reform or Conservative (just about as make-it-up-as-you-go-along as the Reform). You can’t take what they say as being a Jewish opinion, because many of them aren’t even Jews according to Jewish law. They are products of intermarriage, with a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother. Not a Jew, then. So this entire article is misleading. The NY Slimes would have you believe these people represent Jewish America. They represent a group of people who claim to be Jewish, but who are not born of a Jewish mother, or have little to any authentic Jewish education. They are ignoramuses about their own religion and culture, so why would Israel be important to them? These are the court Jews, anxious to please their non-Jewish neighbors.

Right. Likely Netanyahu’s “tactics” opened the eyes of many lib Jews who have begun to question ZEro’s idiotic policies.

The original Kapos worked for the Nazis in order to die later rather than sooner, and with a little extra food to keep them useful.

Today’s Kapos are willing & happy whores of the enemies of Israel, and who do it just to keep all their precious liberal friends.

Does it matter what US Jews think of the PM of Israel?
