Less than a year after President Obama left Israel to the sound of loud cheering after he assured Israelis in Hebrew that they are not alone, a new poll has found that 70% of Jewish Israelis do not trust Obama to safeguard their nations vital interests in negotiations with the Palestinians.
The survey, published Friday in the Israeli weekly Sov Hashavua, is the latest in a string of recent polls demonstrating a precipitous fall in the confidence

Previously, both D and R parties professed strong support for Israel. That effectively removed the issue from consideration at the ballot box.
Now, that O has revealed the D party for what it is, it will be interesting to see how this plays out at ballot boxes, in the U.S. this November.

A year ago they loved his promise that, “If you like your country, you can keep your country.”

Obama could publicly call for Israel to be wiped off the map, and he'd probably STILL get 60% of the "Jewish vote".

Wow, how about those Israelis, huh?
Just because you wish they were all dead, and then do everything you possibly can to make it happen, they take umbrage.
What’s a Marxist, Moslem-worshipping president to do?

Could be that even the Israelis who were “moderate” on trading land for “peace” now are offended at the way Klutzy Kerry is trying to push them around. When their own leaders do it, it’s one thing. When the Iran-appeasing Obama folks come barging in, possibly it’s another.

I have a friend, who is now a US Citizen but goes to Israel often. One day they let their hair down in my car as to how they really felt about Obama, and they voted for him the 1st time.Sorry, Israelis don't vote in our elections regardless of what your friend told you. The few, 80 thousand or so, who are American citizens went about 85% for Romney.

“I just dont understand how a majority can be idiot leftists.”
For the same reason other urban-dwelling Yankees are “idiot leftists.”
Look where my people live in the USA. They vote pretty much like their idiot neighbors.

They should poll the Jews in NYC and see where they stand on Bozo. They do all the time. They still love the stuffing out of their huggy-bear.

"Look where my people live in the USA. They vote pretty much like their idiot neighbors."You make an interesting point. Isn't there still a rule that you have to live within walking distance of a synagogue?
As to your observation, it's not clear which comes first, voting for the idiot neighbor or voting in an area where idiots live via group think.

One question is how messed up our country will be after Obama leaves office in addition to how he will stab Israel in the back. The debt owed to those like George Soros should be paid very last and with no interest !
