My only question is this -- does Kerry pander on the issue of the Arab / Israeli dispute, or is he really to the right of Bush on this issue???? Either way, this is a dark day for the Democratic party.

Are these people ignorant or just anti-Semites?

No, Israel, just like the United States, is far from perfect. And I think some of the more extreme pro settlement people are misguided. But the country is fighting for its existence. I can understand some criticism of some of the more radical views – which, by the way, occurs in Israel (criticism that is) – but I have to believe that, to some extent, much of this is fueled by racism.

What is truly sad is our side – or pretenders to our side – are not totally free of this either.

Absolutely.
My feelings for Israel stand on their own.
I do not punish Israel for our American Jews
being mostly liberal democrats. That many
of them are also secular,... well that's
between them and God.

Is it really surprising that Kerry supporters would be anti-semites? Even given the fact that Israel is a socialist democracy (of sorts), in their fight against fascist Islam there can be little doubt on who's side a conservative would stand (as has been nore than evident in the past few years).

But since, in the view of the leftists, where the enemy of their enemy is their friend, they are, not surprisingly, aligning with the fascist islamists against the Judeo-Christian West. Such as they are, they have no understanding that, were the islamists to win, the leftist deviants would be the first to "lose their heads". But they are, alas, ignorant fools to the end.

What has been surprising to me is how many Jews and Christians still back the Democrats, whose agenda is without a doubt antithetical to most of their core values. Perhaps the islamist insurrection is a blessing in disguise, perhaps sent by the almighty, to wake his brethren from their long sleep.

I sense a bloody platform battle ahead for the RATS.

Thus a strong pro Israel position has all up side for Kerry and no down side.

Not exactly. Kerry doesn't generate any passion with the Dem base, he simply runs on the fumes of the Bush hatred. If he takes the same position on two of the issues that fuel the Bush hatred he won't get the voter turnout he needs. This is a solid step in creating apathy and indifference.

Kerry's Shifts: Nuanced Ideas or Flip-Flops?
By DAVID M. HALBFINGER

BOSTON, March 5 — When Senator John Kerry was speaking to Jewish leaders a few days ago, he said Israel's construction of a barrier between it and Palestinian territories was a legitimate act of self-defense. But in October, he told an Arab-American group that it was "provocative and counterproductive" and a "barrier to peace."

Where the hell do these posters on the DUa$$ website come from? They are completely clueless and if they paid money for a college education, they need to sue to get their money back. They don't understand the dymanics of the politics of the Middle East regarding the Palestinians, Israelis, or the Arab countries and to equate protecting US national interests with imperialism is way out there. Our education system is in serious trouble.

Right you are. In the prologue to the widely read The Secret War Against The Jews by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, the authors prominently site the following quotation and attribution (on the 4th page, immediately following their book-dedication on the 3rd page):

Fuck the Jews...they won't vote for us anyway. -- The Honorable James Baker, Secretary of State, United States of America (circa A.D. 1992)

Without addressing the disinction that must obviously be made between Jews (in general, as in this quotation) and Israel per se, there is no doubt that Loftus and Aarons consider(ed) Baker to have been "anti-Israeli." (see p.327 of the soft-cover edition).

Ah, DU. If they ever re-institute the laws that force the mentally insane off the streets, they can find 99% of them at DU.

Kerry can lose the Jewish vote in New York. He may need the Jewish vote in New York.

This isn't about the Jewish vote in New York. It's about the Jewish vote in Florida. The reason that state was so close last time was because conservative Jews voted to make Lieberman the first Jewish VP. Without Lieberman on the ticket, Kerry has little chance of repeating Gore's success in that state, which is critical to victory. So he panders based on policy, realligning himself with what he sees as the winning side, as he has done his entire career.

We will need a military draft if Kerry is elected because who would want to serve under that traitor as CIC? We are looking at the last days of this country. If this country elects Kerry, it gets what it deserves really.

I want Bush to win. I don't trust Kerry with the WOT. Kerry will treat terrorism as a law enforcement problem and give the UN too much authority with our troops involved. He knows WOT is important campaign issue but he has no plans. He will be another Cater when elected. We want to split the democrats and convince the anti-war crowd...Kerry...will continue the conflict in Iraq.

Divide and conquer.

"What has been surprising to me is how many Jews and Christians still back the Democrats, whose agenda is without a doubt antithetical to most of their core values."

They are JINOs and CINOs. They are not true Jews nor Christians.

Their religion is the religion of abortion and whatever the Rat party stands for.
