(IsraelNN.com) Rubin Margules, a member of the Zionist Organization of America’s National Executive Board, told Israel National News that American Jews have begun to realize they made a mistake by voting for U.S. President Barack Obama. Margules, who accompanied former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee on his trip to Judea and Samaria Tuesday, said Israel should learn to find alliances outside of the U.S. and act in its own best interests.

They voted for a man who reeked of socialism and they call it a mistake?
Uh, mistake is putting it mildly. Perhaps it would be best for San Kinnison to take it from here........
There is no replacement for the US for Israel, no matter what Israel learns or knows (India will not cut the mustard, and they like curry anyway), just there is no replacement for citizens of private MDs if the public option appears and swallows all into its gaping socialist maw.
I’ll believe that when I see it, or when I go to Temple and hear it.
To be God’s chosen people, Jews are so stupid. Sorry, but that’s the way I see it.
Why do American Jews continue to vote for the leftist democrat party? They seem to have “buyers remorse” at times but they just go straight back to the democrats. Like a dog to its vomit............
No Sh*t.
We told them so before the election. They were warned. Sheesh!
I hope it isn't too late.
I don’t think this has dawned yet on Manhattan’s upper west side. If and when it does, I doubt there will be many who will admit it.
Simple answer.They are simply an IDIOTS!!!!:-))))
Your post assumes that Israel is important to American Jews.
As an Israeli Jew currently in the USA (I am also a USA citizen), I sometimes find that that is not the case.
it’s ok. we think you’re pretty stupid too.
No, not stupid. They don’t care.
American Jews are largely secular and (generally) did not experience the Shoa. Zionist Jews have been through the Nazis and various pogroms before that.
I really expected to get blasted/flamed/threatened when I made my post, but not so far. By the way, the love of my life is the most left-leaning Jew that God ever created, and the perfect example of a Miami living coastal elite...If I could just convince her she was equally in love with me life would be beautiful.
Sam would not only know just what to say but absolutely how to say it!
1. Truth is, for many American Jews, Israel is no more important than Germany is for German Americans. Nice place to visit, maybe see the sights, but that’s it. A distant connection.
2. Some who care are like Neville Chamberlain; good-intentioned, smart even, but wrong.
3. Some despise Israel and religious and zionist Jews as an embarassement. Rahm Emmanuel and “J Street” come to mind here.
4. Some (more than one would think) are just uninformed: too busy running lives to pay attention
It’s little different than any other people.
Jews need to learn that socialism is evil.Oh, we've learned it, but a few too many of us ignore it, anyway. And we were warned way back in the century against encroaching Statism. By God, via His servant Samuel. Reference I Samuel:8, 1-22.
Which reminds me that the king against which God warned was a bloody piker compared to King Washington DC . . .
The Jews (as a whole) keep gettin raped and they keep votin Dem. My guess is that the trend will just continue in the next election and beyond.
Liberal ideology goes before religion or cultural heritage (or common sense) for most Libs, including Jewish folks.
I met the most wonderful young people from Israel a couple of years ago and had tears in my eyes (and heaviness in my heart) when I knew they were heading home to a place where their lives were potentially endangered. I just don't understand how American Jews are so callous and dismiisive about Israel, particularly the Hollywood crowd (who could use their influence).
