As to the current conflict, you see a distinct difference in tone between the statements coming out of the Bush White House and what little is coming out of the Obama camp.
And anyone who couldn't see McCain's background and history as portending a more favorable US policy toward Israel vs. Arabs and/or Iran - as opposed to Obama's background and history - was either dumb, didn't care, or wasn't paying attention.
The reasons for Jews' pro-'Rat vote as a group include (1)addiction to the 'Rats as passed on generation to generation largely by historical myths, (2) indifference to Israel, (3) pro-left political propaganda, including "sermons" by many in the Reform rabbinate, passing for "Judaism," and (4) Jews' tendency to live in areas surrounded by predominantly 'Rat neighbors.
I don’t watch political speech on television and am therefore out of the Greco-Roman prophecy loop. ...haven’t received any related Cavalier mail, either, since the big Putsch/Spinta from the superior folks to have Rice appointed.
I tend to pay more attention to certain facts that most people feel that they want to reject, so there will be some disagreement at times. I’m a conservative American without any religious/emotional allegiances to Europe (not even Britain, Germany, Rome or Russia). ...and no great pecuniary interest in appeasing enemies or keeping freight fuel prices low.
In the short and clear, I don’t like fascism or communism. And I’m so conservative, that I only have One G-d. That may make me an oddball in my own balkanized country these days, but so be it. ...wouldn’t take a million dollars (or equivalent in any other currency) to betray my moral beliefs.
Is that a stubborn stance, or what?
Send a few rockets into any moron Liberal’s back yard and see what their attitude is then?
...tell you what. I’ll explain the reason for the list of links and quotations, although the explanation should be unnecessary. That list of links, titles and quotations has been posted primarily (if not exclusively in threads full of comments that blamed “the Jews” for Israel’s difficulties in winning against enemy forces in Lebanon, in Israel itself, and the like.
Our Republican Government has consistently pressured Israelis against defending themselves, just as Democrat governments have done the same. The evidence is in the list of links and quotations. The political and social trends against Israel are getting worse each decade.
American Jewish people don’t have much influence in US politics. There are too few of them as voters and in political positions to do so. There’s far more non-Jewish Roman influence (including so-called Protestants, these days) in US politics.
And I’m really irked by the enormous numbers of repeats of threads full of comments blaming “Jews” for other political/pecuniary reasons. It resembles some of the propaganda in Europe and the ancient Roman Empire.
