Israel says no more
The Australian ^ | Februari 10 2009

Posted on 02/11/2009 1:28:54 PM PST by knighthawk

HAMAS, the terrorist organisation that masquerades as the Government of Gaza, was the deciding factor in Israel's election yesterday. A majority of people who went to the polls voted for parties who want to take Hamas on. Likud, the party of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, came a close second with 27 seats being surprisingly, if marginally, outperformed by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's Kadima party with 28. But with the support of religious and nationalist parties, Mr Netanyahu has a good chance of a majority in the 120-member parliament.

I think its time for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and other Islamic Terrorist states and groups to kiss their arse’s bye bye

And its time for the Anti-Semites to lay off of Israel

Israel now knows or should know that they are now on their own. The United States policy makers are now on the side of their enemies.Coveretly at the present but soon openly.

But from what I heard on the news, the Israelis are not innocent victims because, according to the news stories, many Israelis called relatives in the U.S. urging them to vote for obama. They or somebody did, because he is now president.

Like the old Toyota commerical” You asked for it, You Got it!

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Israeli citizens called their US relatives and that was the reason for Obama winning.
Sheesh.

I'd suggest frequenting a reliable news source.

Ignore the fact that few Jews in the United States have relatives in Israel, and that Americans living in Israel voted 75%-25% McCain suggesting that if they were calling, it would likely be for McCain.

Obama won by a margin of 10 million votes. I'm sure it's the Jews fault, but how do you deal with the fact that the margin is about double the number of Jews in the US, man, woman, child, infant. Did they all vote six times.

I did not say that was why he won. I said that Israelis called relatives in the U. S. urging them to vote for obama.

It could be implied through that action that they preferred obama over Mc Cain as President.

But, yes the Whites voting for him in droves is why he won. He did not win because the Blacke voted for him. He could have gotten every single Black vote and still lose.

He won because the Whites voted for him in overwhelming numbers.

Isn't the stupidity staggering?

One need only read through a Reader's Digest from both today and 1960 to see how far the collective National intellect has fallen.

Good post, SJackson. You are absolutely correct to point out that Israeli relatives of American Jews would have likely advised their kin to vote for McCain, not Obama. You are also right in pointing out that, though O's popular vote margin was not quite 10 million, it did exceed the entire Jewish population of the US.

Did all the Jews vote six times? Those of us who voted for McCain certainly didn't, but, given the rampant election fraud, some Jews (as well as far more non-Jews) may well have voted for "the Messiah" multiple times. Still, the bottom line is that if no Jews voted at all, O would have probably carried all the states that he did anyhow.

That having been said, it was totally idiotic for any Jew or non-Jew concerned about Israel's security and survival to have voted for him.

[Obama] won because the Whites voted for him in overwhewlming numbers.

Actually, the majority of Whites voted for McCain, although McCain's margin among whites wasn't great enough to overcome O's 95-5 margin among Blacks and maybe 70-30 margin among Hispanics.

For those who believe in the Bible, Israel has a promise from God. Israel will not be destroyed or wiped off the map as so many desire regardless of the leaders they choose.

HOWEVER, America has no such promise...

You are utterly clueless. Israeli Americans and American expatriots in Israel voted 3-1 for McCain over Obama.

If only American Jews voted like Israeli Jews.
'Right-wingers outnumber lefties 2-1'
Right-wing Israelis outnumber those on the left by at least two-to-one, pollster Rafi Smith of the Rafi Smith Institute said on Wednesday.
He based his conclusion in part on a telephone poll he conducted Tuesday of 1,700 people who said they had voted, with a 2.4 percentage point margin of error.

When asked to identify their political beliefs, 30 percent of respondents said they were right wing, 13% said they were center-right, 23%-24% said they were center, 13% said they were center-left and 6% said they were on the Left. Another 15 percent refused to answer.


While I don't like or trust Livni and Kadima on negotiating with Arabs and other Nationalist issues, the fact is that Kadima is not a left-wing party. It is a socially moderate free-market party supporting greater compromise with the Arabs, which split from Likud. As it stands now, the center and right in Israel hold 95 of 120 seats.

If you look at places like Florida and New York, and look at campaign contributions, you get a better idea of how much Jews helped Obama. That and in the universities. Jews nowadays are probably no better educated or wealthier than the Irish, but Ireland is not under attack. Ar they so “liberated” that they perfer the US be turned into a suburb of Europe. Yeah, Jews are popular in Europe.

It is amazing how people who resent Jews on the basis of Jews falling for grievance politics end up doing the same.
