People like you belong exactly where you are ...wherever that might be... my guess is looking for handouts from the government...

Have a man on man with Barney and smack an incumbent democrat for Nancy

Spike, as a "they", along with virtually every friends and family member, we believe that Obama DOES support Israel. Just because his approach promotes a two state solution, the end to settlements which merely create MORE conflict and hostilities- and which were justifiably illegal IMO when I lived there, all it means to me and mine is that our President is first and foremost for peace.

We also believe that negotiation with Iran is in the best interests of Israel as well those of the US. But, perhaps most importantly, we are FAR from single issue voters and Jewish values are very closely aligned with Obama's domestic policies. For example, there is no value that invokes greater passion among Jews than social justice. Universal health care, among other issues vital to this administration agenda, is an excellent example of such social justice.

And those of us who earn enough to BE taxed more to help those who are less fortunate welcome the opportunity to so contribute. It is a mitzvah. You also misconstrue his tax policies, which lie in supporting the middle and working classes, NOT the "lazy" or unproductive, by taxing those who can easily afford to help more. I doubt you believe that everyone earning less than $250,000 a year is somehow lazy.

In closing, it appears that so many "gentiles" forget that Jews in this great country regard themselves as Americans first. And, as evidenced by the comments here and everywhere I read on this issue, seemingly think that all we do or should care about is Israel, with our every attitide to be determined by how Israel may be affected. However, with the exception of a small minority of the American Jewish community, nothing could be further from the truth as reflected by the poll numbers in the foregoing article.

Hope this helps answer your questions and those of others who do not understand why we support this President.

Romans 2:29 Jew is one who is "circumcised of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter", as opposed to those who claimed they were Jewish by heritage but "I know the blasphemy of them who say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan", afflicted by false teachers who claimed to be Jews but really were not. Scripture teaches, front to back, that it is simply and purely insufficient to obey teachings legalistically, but refuse to submit your heart to God. Anyone who supports a President who will sell out the Nation of Israel, is no Jew.

spikeritz,

If you look at Obama's closest advisors (some may actually consider them more than just advisors) I think you'll understand why there's as strong support amongst Jews as there is.

There's no real danger of Obama doing anything that would run contrary to the interest of Israel.

If it were a just a matter of giving the strip back to the Palestiniens it would be simple but they have proven they will never be satisified untill Isreal is no more. The Isreals have shown their willingness to live and co exist in harmony with the Muselums but the Muselums only repay with violence. It is hard to come up with a reasonable solution when you are dealing with unreasonable people.
I cannot understand US Jews supporting Obama when it appears he is going to leave Isreal hanging out to dry.

to those that have no idea of history---israel was attacked and kicked ass. when you win a war, especially something you didnt start, you take land. spoils of war..the land was taken because they won and wanted a buffer zone for their own security. should we give the land back we took during the war with mexico?

With Jews, the bottom line is always the almighty dollar. Doesn't matter where it comes from, how it was obtained, and if their Mothers are thrown under the bus in the pursuit. Look at Soros. He tries to fly under the radar by changing his name, but he is a Jew, and he has supported Obama, TIDES, APOLLO, SEIU, and ACORN. Do you suppose he is getting anything in return? He doesn't make the Forbes most wealthy list, but he sure is trying.
