Sorta sheds a whole new light on the whole self-loathing thing.

70 members of the Sanhedrin convicted Jesus and let the Romans execute him. The only two he got support from were Joseph of Arimethea and Nicodemus. Some times people are on the wrong side of history.
The law of unintended consequences will involve Ezekiel 38-39 going into motion and the world will probably experience its first thermonuclear war. The good news for liberals...then we will truly have GLOBAL WARMING of an epic scale.

Most American Jews would build the showers and ovens if Hitler had a D next to his name.

Pray America is waking

WWII all over again when American Jewry sat on their hands.

Their kids, grandkids will have to explain why they let Iran commit a nuclear holocaust.

On the bright side only now are some Jews waking up to the fact that its the Dems who are Antisemitic.

The Undecided are part of a cynical sham. They will all vote for Obama.

None of this would matter if the Senate GOP did not relinquish its constitutional power over treaties to Obama.

Remember that Ted Cruz, supposed conservative, voted for this.

This deal was supported by the US Chamber of Commerce. That is why so many voted for it. Now that Obama only needs 34 Senators to ratify this Iran deal, two-faced swine, like Cruz, can campaign against it.

Ted Cruz is no conservative and shows no respect for the constitution. He is in the pocket of the US Chamber as much as Jeb Bush.

KAPO, prisoner in charge of a group of inmates in Nazi concentration camps. The derivation of the word is not clear; according to one view the name is Italian (capo = “boss”); according to others it is an abbreviation of Kameradschaftpolizei and would then have originated among the prisoners themselves. Similarly, it is not possible to ascertain when this unofficial term first came into use. The appointment of Kapos was made by the SS who guarded the camps; but the authority to appoint Kapos was never explicitly defined. It was the Kapo’s task to carry out the orders of the SS and to ensure absolute control over the prisoners. The Kapo was not an expert like the “chief worker” (Vorarbeiter) but just a strong man. For the most part, Kapos were in charge of work gangs, but there were also Kapos for the hospitals or the kitchens. Certain camps even had a hierarchy: Oberkapo, Kapo, Unterkapo. Initially, Kapos were appointed from the ranks of ethnic German prisoners convicted on criminal charges. These criminals enjoyed extra privileges of great importance under camp conditions: better food, clothing, and housing. In return, many of them tyrannized the prisoners with a cruelty equal to that of the SS, motivated both by the desire to curry favor among the SS as well as by sadistic inclinations. In the course of time, the political prisoners in many camps succeeded in ousting some of the criminals and having them replaced by Kapos from their own ranks. Jews were appointed Kapos only in those camps which were all Jewish. Some Kapos exercised their power humanely and sensitively and worked to assist their fellow prisoners. Others mimicked the oppressive behavior of the SS and may have indeed internalized their values. Thus, the term Kapo became synonymous with a cruel and egocentric person who oppresses, tortures, and exploits others.

but while it is interesting that some Jews vote one way or the other

it is depressing as HELL that some congress-critters (of whatever and all religious persuasions) vote to endanger America (Iran’s number one target for destruction)

all of these traitors need to be removed from office ASAP!

Any Jew who votes for this treason is a Capo. That is one of the lowest things you can call a Jew who goes against their own.

That’s sad that the majority of American Jewish people are turning their backs on the people living in Israel. Those people over there are relying on Americans to back their security.

People here don’t feel the fear that they feel. They are secure in their homes. They are not paying deliberate attention to what Iran is promising. Iran is promising the Inialation of Israel. The American Jews, not threatened by Iranian rants, are not paying attention. They will when Iran feels it’s got enough protections to go ahead.

Iran isn’t kidding. It considers Israel the same enemy Germany did. They will one day move! When they do, all the American Jews will be wringing their hands.

Any Jew who votes for this treason is a Kapo as they are selling out their fellow Jews in Israel as well as anywhere else. God will not judge them kindly. That is if they believe in God. The reality is that Liberalism is their God.
