Do Obama’s Jewish Backers Have Any Red Lines?
Commentary Magazine ^ | 7/20/2009 | Jonathan Tobin

Posted on 07/20/2009 1:22:45 PM PDT by Jbny

The demand issued to the new Israeli ambassador (and former Commentary contributor) Michael Oren this past weekend spoke volumes about the changing nature of the U.S.-Israel alliance.

For the past few months, Obama’s Jewish supporters have been saying that the dispute between the two countries over settlements is not about the United States trying to harm Israel but rather a case of Washington seeking to stop “illegal settlements” opposed by many Israelis and most American Jews. But the demand issued to Ambassador Oren was not about some illegal hilltop outpost somewhere deep in the West Bank, in territory that most Israelis concede would be part of a future Palestinian state. Instead, the houses going up are in a section of the capital, albeit a neighborhood that prior to June 1967 was occupied by Jordan and, therefore, off-limits to Jews from 1949 to 1967. The 20-unit housing complex is in Sheik Jarrah, a still predominantly Arab neighborhood but one that, as even the New York Times concedes, is also home to foreign consulates and Israeli government buildings.

If Hitler came back from the dead and called himself a Democrat, Jews would vote for him.

You have to ask when the American Jewish Liberals will find their voice. They have found it. It is the voice of the President of the United States.
These people have neither the sense nor the ability to accept what they have sewn. The crop is growing.
May I sign it “One of the 22%”

This topic has been beaten like a red headed step child. Secular Liberal American Jews are brain dead, they occupy alot of brainy professions like medicine, science and law but most of the men are too neutered to make a difference and their wives too in love with hearing the sound of their own voice to matter. Sad really such a proud people making the same mistake all over again thinking playing nice will keep them out of the ovens.

There really is no limit to what Self Hating Jews will do to destroy themselves and other Jews. Were Hitler to come back today, and still want to annihilate the Jews, there would be many Jews who would be as happy with the prospect as Chris Matthews is about Obama.

The ranks of the Bolsheviks were filled with Self Hating Jews, and when they were told that they had failed Stalin, they would confess their ideological failings, without any duress, in their mock trials prior to their executions.

Even if Obama offered Israel on a silver platter to Iran, his support among Jews would be unchanged. It is a madness.

“This topic has been beaten like a red headed step child.”

The better topic is, “Why can’t conservatives get it through their thick skulls that American Jews are LIBERALS?!”

“Secular Liberal American Jews are brain dead...”

I’m starting to wonder if the people who post these articles and then act bewildered that American Jews vote against Israel are really the brain-dead ones.

Bingo! I like your take better. Along the lines of "Blacks overwhelmingly love Obama"

I’m another of the 22%.For all I care the 78% can sit in their defenseless homes swooning over Barry when his Brownshirts,uh,sorry-Civilian Defense Force come to impose redistribution on them,and them, hating and fearing guns, will be sheep again.
I will be happy to greet them with lead.

Off-limits to Jews from 1949 to 1967 -- IOW, after the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan expelled all Jews from territory under its control. In still other words, after Jordan created "facts on the ground".

And now the Hashemite Kingdom is (potentially) throwing out a majority of its citizens:

Amman revoking Palestinians' citizenship

Jordanian authorities have started revoking the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians living in Jordan to avoid a situation in which they would be "resettled" permanently in the kingdom, Jordanian and Palestinian officials revealed on Monday. The new measure has increased tensions between Jordanians and Palestinians, who make up around 70 percent of the kingdom's population.

SNIP

As a preemptive measure, the Jordanian authorities recently began revoking the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians, leaving many of them in a state of panic and uncertainty regarding the future.

And of course we will soon hear a coordinated protest from the Zero State Dept, France, and Russia. /s

Ariel Sharon et al have maintained for decades that there already is a state of Palestine, it’s called Jordan. :’)
