Over at the Weekly Standard, Willy Stern has some interesting theories (that are not connected to degree of religious observance) as to why Israel's Jews overwhelmingly support John Sidney McCain's quest for the American Presidency (Hat Tip: Hot Air).

Summary: Americans in Israel have a very clear and realistic view of the world.

• We respect war heroes in Israel
• Naïve - Obama lacks experience
• Most Israelis, who live daily with the threat of terrorism, simply don't trust Obama
• McCain understands terrorists and how to deal with them
• Obama is young, charismatic, and smart," says Eli Moyal, the straight-talking mayor of Sderot, who has met with both candidates. "But McCain's a more serious guy."
• Obama supporters turn up in Israel in all the usual places--the media, the universities

While at the same time, the grand majority of Jews in America will vote for the Islumic guy who is supported by all those Muzzie terrorists groups seeking to kill all Jews. I guess they would have voted for Hitler in the 1930s.

Yes.

There is a HUGE difference between a US Jew and and an Israeli Jew.

A US Jew would have voted for Yassar if could have ran on the DNC ticket in the US.

And Isrealis can’t vote in American elections unless they vote Democrat, so why should we care?

Why? B/C obama said he will work with the UN last night.

It’s because the Jews in Israel know that Barak Muslim Obama is a secret or subconscious Hussein supporter.

We got rid of one Hussein, we don’t need another one !
