Townhall ^ | 08/10/2009 | Dick Morris

Jews who identify themselves as Democrats strongly agree with the Israeli position and disagree with President Obama's on issues such as a Palestinian state, settlement construction, and trading land for peace.

It takes a long time for people to admit they were hoodwinked.

Hussein supports muslims (see Cairo speech)

Muslims want to liquidate Israel.

Hussein and Hilary pull support from Israel.

Liberal dem supporters of Israel support Hussein and Hilary, still.

A few seem to be seeing a disconnect.

This is a good sign; they’ve begun to think for themselves. Now maybe they’ll break with Obama on every evil thing he’s doing.

Pull military support from Israel and use the funding to subsidize non-producers in American society. Yeah, and more tax dollars for ACORN.

Nothing about the Dem policies is Judaism friendly, nor have they been for years. I continue to not understand why they are such stalwart supporters.

Don’t hold your breath. American Jews are totaly schizophrenic and are in dire need of serious therapy. Don’t deem me to be an antisemite. I myself am Jewish.

They break with him just on Israel? A huge matter for sure, but they need to get a clue in general!

An overwhelming amount of Jewish people will continue to vote for the Democrat candidates.
Much like Black Americans they have been completely bamboozled by the leftist politicians and their sycophants in the press.

Our very good friend is Jewish, and has always leaned way left. With Obama, though, he got bad vibes from the “get-go”, voted against him, and hates him. It didn’t have much to do with the Israel issue; he just didn’t trust what Hussein said and how he said it. I’m encouraged.

The last Democrat President to support Israel was Truman. LBJ grudglingly provided military support but only because the Soviets were supporting the Arab states with weapons. Jimmy Carter did all he could to force land for piece and was followed up Clinton trying to do the same thing.

It’s about time, and the more Obama demonstrates his true colours toward Bibi and the conservative Likud, since that is the core problem, hopefully even many which voted for the Kenyan communist impostor will turn against him, and his entire collection of crooks.
