Most Israelis think Romney would be 'friendlier' By HERB KEINON06/15/2012 01:14Survey finds majority of Israelis think Obama is "friendly" toward Israel but are warmer toward the Republican candidate.

I can understand (Most - even "All" Jews thinking that Romney would be friendlier than Obama.

Why is it that Jews cling to Obama after he has turned his back on they time after time after time after time......?

Is it because Liberal (Jews) are so weak minded that they "still' cannot see that Obama would (will?) lead them to the slaughter if allowed to do so?

Doesn’t matter what the Israeli Jews think about either candidate. Problem is, the liberal American Jews are the ones voting.

A little more from the article:

The fact that Israelis have conflicted attitudes toward US President Barack Obama came out loud and clear in a poll released on Thursday.

The survey – commissioned by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, the Bar-Ilan University Center for International Communication and the Anti-Defamation League – found that while 51 percent of Israeli Jews believe Obama is “friendly” or “very friendly” toward Israel, more people think the expected Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, would better promote Israel’s interests.

Asked how they would describe Obama’s attitude toward Israel, 45% of the respondents characterized him as “friendly” and 6% as “very friendly.” Thirty-two percent described the president as “neutral,” 12% as “unfriendly” and 3% as “very unfriendly.”

When detailed questions were asked, a picture emerged of a public that has considerable questions about the president’s Middle East policies.

For instance, when asked whether Romney or Obama would better promote Israel’s interests, 29% said Romney and 22% said Obama. Perhaps most telling was that while Obama had been in office for more than three years, 49% said they did not know or would not answer the question.

Thirty percent of the respondents said US-Israeli ties would improve under a Romney presidency, 26% said they would remain the same and only 6% said they would get worse.

Oh, and here's the link you forgot.

I've always thought it is, in part, because many Jews consider Republicanism and conservatism as right wing, and equate right wing (albeit erroneously) with Nazism.With some their hatred of conservatism is virulent.I knew a rabbi (perhaps self-styled) who avowed that he would like to grind a broken glass into Rush Limbaugh's forehead.I'm sure he (the rabbi) never listened to him.

Exactamundo!!! It would harder to get a liberal Jew to NOT vote for another liberal than to steal the Jew's purse. They, just like the black church, will vote race before any other consideration and most liberal Jews hate their race enough to vote against it's own interest.

Norman Podhoretz, a Jewish intellectual and Neoconservative pundit (not being used as an invective, he acknoweledges the term) wrote a whole book on "Why Jews are Liberals".

Here is a review of it from The Wall Street Journal.

I daresay that Rudolf Hess or David Duke would be friendlier to Israel than Mr. Obama. That’s not a very high hurdle.
