By turning the Iran issue into a political battle against Obama, Netanyahu has pushed American Jewry into a corner: They must allegedly choose between an allegiance to their president and loyalty to the Israeli prime minister.

I don't ever recall having to pledge allegiance to a president (much less a pretender).

Do American Jews have a different pledge of allegiance? Does that pledge only happen when a Dhimmicrat is in office?

Was this written by a full blown anti-Semite, or a self-hater?

Bibi cares about Israel. Obama does not.

Period.

Full stop.

End of story.

This is one hand-wringing bed-wetter. What a putz.

I commend you for being able to read this stuff. I couldn’t get past the first paragraph.

It has seriously harmed Israel's influence mostly within the Democratic Party and its voters

Here's the nub of the problem from the writers point of view. The scales may be dropping from the eyes of US jews about their monolithic support of the Democrat party.

This idiot seems to have forgotten that Obama ordered the cut-off of arms re-supply to Israel during the Gaza conflict. Obama threatened to abandon the US support of Israel at the U.N. Obama was the one who wouldn't have dinner with Bibi because he had a "prior engagement with his family" and who ordered that Bibi exit thru the back door of the White House.

If any one is responsible for poisoning US Israeli relations its the present incumbent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

It doesn’t matter if the argument empowers Netanyahu, or Obama, or gives the democrats or republican in the USA something to fight about—in other words, who cares about the politics and partisan fighting about it?

The only question should be, does it empower Iran to make nuclear weapons?

If so, it MUST be opposed by any Jew who loves Israel or the Israeli people, because the Iranians will use it on them.

The same for Americans. Iranians do not chant Death to America for no other reason than they hate us, and the only reason we are safe is, up to now, they couldn’t do anything about it.

It’s folly to play politics with it, as YOU are, Mr. Savir!

Funny, if a Jew or Jewish organization is being written about, the idea that one might oppose the Iran "deal" because it's bad for America never enters the discussion. In this case, URI even leaves the security of Israel or the US out of it, it's just Bibi vs Obama. Who apparently equates with US Jews. AIPAC, of course, suddenly becomes an organization for US Jews, not one for Americans that support Israel. I understand the tactic, persuading Americans to support the deal because it enhances the security of the US in the long term is a tough sell.
