** EXCERPT **
Those who seek to undermine Barack Obama's credibility with his Jewish and non-Jewish voters who feel strongly about the Israeli issue, frequently mention two names: Bob Malley and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Malley was a member on former U.S. president Bill Clinton's peace team, and Brzezinski was an advisor for an earlier U.S. president, Jimmy Carter.
If these people are Obama's friends, his detractors say, then he cannot be seen as a friend of Israel. A claim which invites scrutiny.
Malley is one of the few people who believe that the Israeli-American narrative for the reasons that caused the 2000 Camp David Summit to fail does not reflect reality. Clinton and Ehud Barak both agreed that former Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat was the primary person responsible for those Camp David talks breaking down.
Most members of Clinton's team agree with that statement. Not Malley. He thinks Israel - or Barak - and the U.S. - or Clinton - bear more of the responsibility for failure than they are willing to admit.
Malley is an advisor to Obama's campaign. Which means he is asked to present his opinion on various matters. He is not "The Advisor." Many others like him are asked to contribute their opinions. Most of Obama's position statements on the Israel issue do not bear Malley's fingerprints.

By naming it Palestine.
The closet muslim would allow the terrorists to eradicate the Zionists.
Why not socialist liberals believe Israel is the Problem in the ME... If only them Jews would just go away... Oh except for when they vote for Democrats...
There are many Jews who have switched sides. I have Jewish relatives that have voted conservatively for years now, despite the fact that they were raised democrats. Many of their Jewish acquaintances have switched also. In fact, the MSM and democrat term for them is “neo-con,” which is a PC way for them to say “dirty Jew.”
btt
It applies to a Jews who was born in US.Most of the Jews who is immigrated to Us from the other countries( mainly Eastenn block and Soviet Union), are Republicans.
Just thinking about it is scary.
My jewish friends still vote for the rats, amazing as it that is. They seem to be blind to reality....in fact I believe Zechariah 12, and Romans 11 mentions something to that effect.
How would b HUSSEIN Obama handle Israel?
obliterate it in a jihad!!!!
Baraq Hussein needs to be asked: “Would you go to the mat for Israel’s survival?” every time there is a chance, until he gives a straight yes or no answer. Either answer would skewer him.
How Would Obama handle Israel?
I shudder to think.
Though I realize that Israel is an important ally in the war on terror, I am more concerned with how he would handle the US. And I’m afraid not well.
God has already answered that question: Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. And in: Zec 2:8 he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. I am afraid Obama only has two choices, He can serve the Lord and side with Israel or he can be cursed and that goes for Hillary and McCain also.
With a shovel or a firm "flush". Next question?
I think it's without any question that any democrat administration would use our relationship with Israel to gain favor with terror-nations. Bit by bit, Israel would be dismantled and sacrificed, if only to bide time between attacks on this nation.
Wrong, “neoconservative” is a term that describes a specific political view, just like “neo-liberal” (like Billary), it is not “code” for Jews, whatever Neal Boortz has told you. Despite the fact that some prominent neo-cons are Jewish and former socialists, many are not and it just means conservatives who embrace globalism. It doesn’t make them evil; they’re right about Israel and the WOT, and dead wrong about China and Putin. Just as neo-libs are liberals who accept globalism and corporatism (to the chagrin of their “labor activist” cousins). The whole “code” concept is leftist BS, so don’t buy into it.
With a nuclear armed Iran.
Unfortunately New England Jews for the most part could care less..
Care less?.. Absolutely.. thats why they will vote for him..
Except the Hasidim..
But, if He (Obama) turns on Israel, the U.S. turns on Israel and that brings a curse on the entire nation.
