Do Israelis really hate Obammy?
I think the relevant question should be, do Americans really hate Obammy?
Why wouldn’t they?
Wait until Obama has his summit meeting with Ahmednutjob.
There’s been no annoucement or rumor of any such meeting, other than Obama’s “without preconditions” campaign pledge.
Obama won 77% of the Jewish vote in 2008.
Do people here think that 2012 will be very different?
All of my Jewish friends have taken the “Palin is an idiot” bait, hook, line and sinker. I find this quite amusing because Palin is among the most pro-Israel politicians out there. Some of the smart Jewish neocons like William Kristol know this and have been big supporters of her.
But obviously Kristol isn’t very influential in the world of American Jewish politics, or McCain whould have done better with them.
I suppose there is some percent of American Jews who don’t like Israel, and are fine with Obama’s policies towards it. But I have to believe that most of the 77% are unable to think their way out of the paper bag they are stuck in.
I’m looking forward to the 2012 elections for many reasons, and seeing how much this demographic and their vote changes is one of them.
It’s very hard to understand why Jews vote Democratic in such overwhelming numbers. They are not affirmative action beneficiaries. They pay a lot of taxes, and don’t take many services. The GOP has never treated them badly. Nixon was a great friend of Israel. So was Reagan. In contrast Carter is a great enemy of Israel.
I don’t get it. Evidently many others do not either, which is why Dennis Prager wrote a whole book on the topic, a book I have not yet read, unfortunately.
And may we all have many more birthdays!
If for no other reason, but to piss the worthless little community organizer off.
There are many, many reasons. I know some of them, and I don't even have time to list all of those, but I'll name a few:
1. Many Jews have always confused government with society -- going all the way back to when they lived in tribal enclaves of no more than a hundred or so people in Biblical times.
2. Many Jews have so prided themselves on their high intelligence that they use it as a an excuse, or defense, against any psychological problems that they have. They even look down their noses at anyone who isn't an academic intellectual who believes exactly as they do.
3. Many Jews carry with them an age-old family tradition of laying guilt trips on each other -- causing many psychological problems.
4. Many Jews advocate the most extreme form of pure altruism, claiming that if ANY personal benefit comes from ANY action you take -- then it is therefore evil (Comes in handy when laying guilt trips on family members and others). This tradition even predates Immanuel Kant in the early 19th century, who codified pure altruism, virtually claiming it was the only moral code available to mankind (which it most emphatically is not).
5. Some Jewish families still carry a grudge against Republicans as representing the Eastern Establishment blue bloods who kept grandpa out of their exclusive clubs.
etc. etc. etc.
6. Many Jews steadfastly cling to the myth that the ancient left-right political spectrum — which puts capitalism next to fascism and Nazisim — is valid. And they fervently believe that when politicians and big businessmen get together it’s initiated by the businessmen (instead of the politicians, who actually initiate the collusions 99% of the time).
“Any Jew with brains should see this man selling them and their country down the tube..”
Then every jew in West Hollywood never had one. I’m still amazed that these pious Jews would act Jew in front of me but vote Dem in every election.
I’m sure they don’t “hate” hate Obama, but I bet they ‘feel better when he’s not around.’
The Cairo speech as the article stated gave the finger to all Jews and American's. Remember, he spoke FIRST to muslims on Islamic TV before granting interviews to American stations( that adore him) so not only did/does he sound anti-semitic but anti-American
There's too much more like his trying to force a freeze on "settlements" and turning a blind eye to arab squatter buildings,holding the F-22 raptors ransom to force Israel to sit with known terrorists that do not acknowledge Israel at all. The 80 billion of arms going to Saudi Arabia under the guise it's to defense against Iran( shi'a vs Sunni) though it destabilizes the balance ot power in the ME once again
My daughter is Israeli, not me. She's ambiguous leaning toward disliking him but there's enough problems in Israel the last I asked her even a question concerning Obama was months ago. I don't think her mind has changed. The issues in the past was giving Gaza money with vague stipulations( I think it was around $500 million and never mentioning a thing with the danged terrorist ships attempting to run Israeli blockades or halting the ships coming from America. I don't know myself if Obama condemned or condoned; as usual he said nothig which to me is proof he condones just as he's silent on Assange. He's not just a hater of Israel and he certainly isn't America friendly. Were I living in Israel, I'd be watching Obababwami's every move as a very probable hostile to jews in America( IRS notes to pro Zionist synagogues ) Israel as a whole. Botom line, Obama has done zippo for Israeli's to prove he's an ally even though "we the people" are allied with Israel.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Actually, he has rather nice guts. His tummy is nice and flat, and the boom mike has never picked up the sound of flatulence. It’s his mind, his heart, and his desires as they pertain to Israel that I can’t stand. But his guts are just fine.
