...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.

I would agree, without the word "consistently," but to conclude there isn't a dime's worth of difference between the major parties in terms of this issue currently is not accurate.

Parties are prone to advance stances advocated by their respective bases. As the poll at the beginning of this thread indicates, Democrats as a group are more likely to oppose Israeli use of military force to defend itself. If you agree that the current Bush administration has been hamprering Israel in this regard to a certain extent, the incoming Obama administration, to satisfy its base, figures to pursue policies that are significantly even more detrimental to Israel's security and self-defense.
