Too bad the American Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat...what goes around comes around.

[ANGGAPO]

Since the democrats are now the power brokers in congress I suspect that the Israelis will find that they are all alone.

I always vote GOP! American Jews are in a class by themselves - however, there is growing number who are voting Republican and it is more than the MSM will ever, ever let on.

"Too bad the American Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat...what goes around comes around."

~ Which is not inconsistent with the leadership which the Israelis have chosen to lead them. Take the last confrontation as a fine example of not standing up for it's own children who were kidnapped and tortured. The Israelis caved to the pressure to leave the young men in the hands of fiends, rather than risk rescuing them.

and that would make you happy????????

Judaism is a religion; Israel is a country. Whatever happens in Israel doesn't affect most of the jewish population.

[JewishConservative]

At least a quarter of American Jews like me understand what is going on and have good moral character. On issues like abortion, gay marriage and illegal immigration, which I strongly oppose and most of the Jewish Democrats do not, I'm afraid they're hopelessly brainwashed. Most of the Jewish population in America is concentrated in the New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston, Miami San Francisco and Los Angeles metropolitan areas, all of which are overwhelmingly liberal. Its not just the Jews there, its the majority of all people in those areas that are misguided. When it comes to fighting terror and radical Islam however, I would say around 40-45%, maybe a little more of Jews in America understand how dangerous Iran is and believe an attack against them is justified. I have rarely met a Jew who did not support Israel. On a few college campuses, like Rutgers, there's a few Jews who support Palestine over Israel, maybe to gain acceptance from the majority. As for me, I have never been afraid of doing and saying things that are unpopular and not politically correct, even if it means that other Jews or anyone will ostracize me for it. The majority of American Jews have dissapointed me but I have faith in the Israeli Jews that they will inflict a smashing defeat on Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, as they've been doing to the Arabs that have been attacking them since 1948.

My girlfriend is Israeli, she knows nothing about politics, although one of her best friends has worked closely with Bibi for many years.

Some of her other Israeli friends hate Bush, etc.,etc.,etc., one of them owns a Kosher store/restaurant. Many there are openly hostile to anything Republican, etc., try to engage them in conversation, forget it, they know nothing with the possible exception that it's very "cosmopolitan" to vote democrat, hate republicans, etc. These are not stupid people, they've experienced palestinian/muslim hatred, etc. and still mindlessly side with their supporters. I've lost tons of respect for them, don't care to be around them because they, above even the most dim American should know better.

"Too bad the American Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat...what goes around comes around."

We're seeing that. What anti-Israel sentiment goes around Democrats, also goes around Republicans. Then they blame the Jews for not taking care of Iran. I wonder how many of our leaders in both parties support their Episcopalian, Methodist and other church declarations against investments in Israeli business.

Sharon presses Putin to drop UN resolution on road map
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1013908/posts
4 November 2003

In 1967, the leaders of our various nations showed their religious identity with UN Security Council Resolution 242. They again ignored the Mandate (binding world agreement on the Jewish Homeland) and demanded that Israel give land to the Arab nations. We can go back further than that, though. The "Road Map" is really not a new thing, but our leaders will go on saying that it was Israel's idea all along. The canard of blaming Israel in advance for its own destruction by other nations/religions goes back through a couple of thousand years of history.

Too bad the American Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat...what goes around comes around.

That kind of impertinence is a luxury we cannot currently afford. It carries the bigotted stench of James Baker's notorious "F* em they didn't vote for us.

Like it or not, the fates of the US and Israel in the Middle East are yoked together.

Too bad the American Jews vote overwhelmingly democrat...what goes around comes around.

Actually it doesn't and it won't for the American Jews or Israel....because we will still stand up for and defend them, for our own sake.

They are the front line in our war with the Muslim and Arab antiwestern extremists. We can't afford to let them down.

So why did Bush pick Baker?

I didn't like the pick, because Baker is weak on fighting our enemy, but didn't know he was an anti-Semite, as well.--Sun

Apparently, the smug, elitist. naive lefties here and in Israel don't agree.
They still don't get it.
The clintons willingly sold out Israel--all of western civilization, for that matter--for a shot at the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sick.

Jimmy Carter, James Baker and George H.W. Bush are in the news. Carter has a new book, Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. Baker is crafting a new Middle East policy for America. Papa Bush's "realist" foreign policy is being vindicated by his son's misadventures, and his men are moving back into power in Washington.

Naturally, Israelis are filled with dread. As far as they're concerned, the title of Carter's book tells you everything you need to know about how he feels toward Israel. As for Baker, didn't he say "F--- the Jews" or something like that? And Bush the First refused Israel those loan guarantees, which shows how much of a friend he is.

Israelis don't like American leaders trying to tell them what to do, and they especially don't like American leaders protesting the way they treat Palestinians. So Carter is widely viewed in this country as an anti-Semite, while Baker and H.W. are thought of as "Arabists," which is a euphemism for anti-Semites.

In my view, this is redneck thinking, Israeli Archie Bunkerism. Not only don't I see Carter, Baker and the first president Bush as anti-Semites, I appreciate them all as proven friends of Israel. They just dared to be friends of the Palestinians, too, and this Israelis won't accept. It's not enough to be pro-Israel, you have to be both pro-Israel and anti-Arab - like Bush the Second - to be our friend. Helping us try to make peace with our enemies - like Bill Clinton did - doesn't get you anywhere with us. Helping us make war against our enemies - that's the litmus test of friendship around here.

This legacy confab is in and of itself proof certain of clinton's deeply flawed character, and a demonstration in real time of the way in which the clinton years were about a legacy that was incidentally a presidency.

Madeleine Albright captured the essence of this dysfunctional presidency best when she explained why clinton couldn't go after bin Laden.

According to Richard Miniter, the Albright revelation occurred at the cabinet meeting that would decide the disposition of the USS Cole bombing by al Qaeda [that is to say, that would decide to do what it had always done when a "bimbo" was not spilling the beans on the clintons: Nothing]. Only Clarke wanted to retaliate militarily for this unambiguous act of war.

Albright explained that a [sham] Mideast accord would yield [if not peace for the principals, surely] a Nobel Peace Prize for clinton. Kill or capture bin Laden and clinton could kiss the 'accord' and the Peace Prize good-bye.

If clinton liberalism, smallness, cowardice, corruption, perfidy--and, to borrow a phrase from Andrew Cuomo, clinton cluelessness--played a part, it was, in the end, the Nobel Peace Prize that produced the puerile pertinacity that enabled the clintons to shrug off terrorism's global danger.
