Moves would include canceling Ramat Shlomo project, freeing Palestinian prisoners.

The Obama administration refused to let go of the Ramat Shlomo construction controversy Sunday, with two top aides to US President Barack Obama slamming Israel amid a growing sense in Jerusalem that Washington was using the issue to squeeze diplomatic concessions from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

While the Prime Minister’s Office would not confirm the reports, it is widely believed that the US is now pressing Netanyahu to cancel the entire 1,600 housing-unit project in Ramat Shlomo.

In addition, Washington wants Israel to make a confidence building measure – such as releasing Palestinian prisoners ...

Ok, now Obama/Biden/Clinton/Axelrod want Jewish civilians to die at the hands of released murderers.

It's time for Jim DeMint, or Inhofe or Coburn to step up and denounce the Administration for their pressuring Israel to compromise its national security for the sake of Joe Biden's ego. Defend Bibi and remind the First Imam, Obama al-Husseini, that Congress will never approve anything he may threaten against Israel.

Some smart Israeli leader sandbagged Obama and Biden, and their whole group of jihadist loving State Dept. creeps.

Nice to see someone stand up for their very existence and tell the world to go to hell.

Jerusalem has never had any historical significance to the so-called Palestinians since the days of the Roman occupation of the province of Palestine.

Palestinians are as real in history as Martians are.

Since it is meddling in Israel’s own policies, Bibi should tell Obama he will delay one-for-one his country’s housing project for everyday the Obama-pushed healthcare vote is also delayed. If the RAT Healthcare Plan vote is taken, the housing project will go forward as it will have demonstrated bad faith on the part of the U.S administration and Congress.

Yeah, that would build my confidence, y'know, if I were a Moslem terrorist.

Manufacture a “crisis.” And then apply Rahm Emanuel’s rules - never let a crisis go to waste.

Turn routine building permits in the works for months into a crisis. Then use that manufactured crisis to twist Israel’s arm for concessions.

You ask why do (so many) Jews vote for the Democrats? It’s a good question because in so many respects the party no longer-if it ever did-reflects their views or advances their interests.

I think you can’t answer this without acknowledging that these voters are not a single bloc.

Orthodox Jews are less likely to vote for the Democrats. This is largely a reflection of their place on the cultural divide and their recognition that the Democrats are less likely to support the strong foreign policy and defense initiatives necessary to really protect Israel.

Older people, still enamored of Roosevelt and stung so badly by the anti-Semitic attitudes and actions of the upper class when they were young, cannot see or acknowledge the shift in the  two parties since at least the moment Buckley kicked Buchanan and his ilk to the curb and the Democrats were seduced by the pro-Palestinian European left. It is hard to see that there is much anyone can do to change this.

As for the rest, so many live in urban areas. And our large urban areas are quite solidly a leftish coalition of the very rich and very poor who have left behind-if not denigrated-the middle class views and lifestyles of the present day Republicans. It takes a determined effort and independent thinking for an urbanite to think outside this ideological box. It takes a great deal of time because most of the major press in those areas is utterly in the tank for the left.

I think the best we can do to change this pattern is this: We at American Thinker must continue to  boil down the facts these people need to make independent decisions into a form that busy but smart people can grasp.  I must say that with few other rare exceptions-Commentary, for example-too many bloggers and online publications on the right spend far too much time on silliness (responding to the clearly demented Andrew Sullivan, for example) and insider ephemera instead of providing in pithy format news urban Jewish voters need to know to make better political choices.
