If the 2012 US Election Was Bibi Netanyahu vs. Obama, Who Would American Jews Vote For?

No, they would still vote barry.

[Le Chien Rouge]

If the Pope and Obama ran against each other in 2012, Obama would get 50%+ of the Catholic vote in America.

The CINO’s are almost as bad as the JINO’s in voting democrat.

[dps.inspect]

Dem = Socialist Democratic Party = SDP... Jew or Gentile, the SDP means to put the USA out of business and establish themselves as the New World Order using the wealth of America to do it.

Does either one qualify for the office as a natural born citizen of the united states?

[Jagdgewehr]

Many American Jews are not concerned with Judaism or Israel. They identify with the victim stigma of being “Jewish” and use that to further their left-wing ideologies.

[FrankR]

I would vote for the adult, Netanyahu, of course...and I’m not even Jewish.

[Junior_G]

Obama. Jewish American voters feel like they have to use their vote to prove that they don’t have an allegiance to Israel, much like guilty white American voters feel like they have to prove that they don’t hate black people.

[tflabo]

Is it so ingrained in the liberal Jewish mindset that any right wing position is feared as if associated with Nazi’ism? Suspect it is fear mixed in with some proclivity to assign conservatism with loss of freedoms. Jonah Goldberg has it coined perfectly in his book ‘Liberal Facism’.

One of many reasons why I attend Temple only for bar mitzvahs, weddings, funerals, and the odd family event.

Maybe you should try something that isn't "Reform"? (The "Temple" is that thing we want to rebuild in Jerusalem.)

0bama. Duh.

Remember...American Jews are leftists FIRST, Jews only when convenient.

[Frantzie]

When Bibi came to America on his “wilderness tour”*, he was welcomed mainly by large churches. He did fewer speeches at synagogues. Many temples were more excited about booking Clinton after he got out of office. I know Jews and Christians who attended a speech by Bibi at a large church.

* wilderness tour refers to when Churchill was in the wilderness before WW2 - pretty much exiled from politics.

Bibi was exiled by leftists in Israel & the USA which included Clinton cronies.

I would guess most of the people who vote Dem all the time and voted for Obama - support everything he is doing. If he does gulags, firing squads, round ups - they will love it and justify it.

[Mr. Mojo]

That would depend on Bibi's stance on abortion and homo marriage. If he were a strong advocate for both of these sick practices, they'd vote for him despite the (R) in front of his name.

Maybe.

If we as a people had their history of persecution in all the countries the Jewish people fled to for survival, we would like them try not to bring any public attention to the fact they are Jewish. Some are religious some are not so much. Jews were hiding and changing their names to look like everyone else and not be identified as Jewish. And so on ... They attempt to keep a low profile. Even in America. It has happened to them too many times, in the nations of the world.

They are the chosen people ... just like Christians believe to be saved, there is only one road to heaven and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ.

OTHERS HATE THAT AND THE PEOPLE THAT SAY IT. It seems.

Israel is a socialist country, and a democracy. Many of the Jews living in Israel are not religious, but secular.

It is best not to criticize a people unless we have walked in their shoes. Father God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

[Tupelo]

I would suspect that up to 80% would vote for The Great I Am.
But this is one American that would vote for Netanyahu over Obama. Hell, I would probably vote for Netanyahu over most Republicans that will be running.
Why? I think Netanyahu is an honest man and I don't think that can be said for most American politicians. Maybe 1%-5%

[katana]

Good question, and well timed. Personally, I'd vote for Bibi in a heart beat.

I forwarded the question to a good friend who is a Conservative (vs. Orthodox or Reformed) and suggested it might spark some interesting conversation at his family's Passover Seder tonight.

[Dustbunny]

The loyalty to the Democrat Party is too strong. American Jews are an enigma. Especially the ones serving in the Obama Administration.

Bibi Netanyahu would make an excellent President, unfortunately is not a natural born citizen.

[Beagle8U]

Jewish ping

[hecht]

Um,
where do I start

How about, I am a proudly unassimilated, right wing zionist, orthodox Jew who will be walking quite a bit tonight and tomorrow during Pesach.
Not only would I vote for Bibi I’d donate, rally and blog for him.

Oh, and while the Jews of today who criticize the Pope were quiet during the Holocaust, my family were involved in rescue

[SamuraiScot]

Hitler maybe, but Stalin, yes!

Hitler for sure. The American Left (which included a boatload of Jews) did support Hitler following the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of 1939, when Stalin and Hitler formed an alliance against the England, France, et al.

The labor unions, obedient to their real employers in Moscow, sabotaged the US arms industry with strikes, especially the Longshoremen, to prevent America from making weapons that would be shipped to England. Hollywood and the ACLU were mobilized to "oppose war" (by the Allies, that is) and protect the "persecuted" labor leaders whom Congress began investigating.

A year later, when Germany broke the pact and attacked Russia, the Left immediately became hot for war, and suddenly found bad things to say about Hitler. And as we know, after the war, they cheered Stalin's stepping into Hitler's shoes in Eastern Europe.
