Last week two polls were released that showed Israelis felt that the "Israeli on the street" feels that President Obama is bad for Israel. One poll reported that by more than a 2 to 1 margin Israelis believe that Obama's policies are bad for Israel. The other from The Fanis Research Institute, goes even further, it said that 59% of the Israeli public believe that the president of the United States tends to side, with the Arabs when it comes to the Arab Israeli conflict. 29% think Obama is Hostile to Israel.
The Jerusalem post released a poll today reporting that 50% of Israelis feel Obama is biased toward the Palestinians. What makes that number significant is that the same questionnaire was given before the whole "settlements" issue arose. That mid-May poll showed that only 14% of Israelis saw Obama as pro-Palestinian. What a difference a month makes:

And yet 90% of Jews here vote D. I’ll never figure it out.
Well they can thank their brothers and sisters who voted for him over here. Any blood shed in Israel is on them.
Within Barry’s and Clinton’s liberal mindset, among many others of the same mindset, “anti-Israel” simply implies “tough love”.
There is no doubt that given their current policies towards Israel, many, many Jewish residents of Israel, among many of us, know otherwise.
But are they really Jews?
Too bad Israel does not have MSNBC, CNN, SeeBS and all of the state run media outlets to get their news from. If they did they would be seeing rainbows & unicorns just like the rest of the sorry saps that view them religiously.
..... no kidding
And the other news is that water is wet. Anyone with an i.q. of -1000000 knew that long before 2008.
You Israeli’s shouldn’t feel alone, 0bama is anti-American too.
Why do they always choose so badly? In 2012 Obama will probably get a higher percentage of the Jewish vote.
It is easy to figure out. The Jews here see Dems as their saviors in WWII, Truman and FDR, remember? Also the Jews here in the states are NOT facing fanatical suicide bombers and rockets crashing in on them almost daily, muslims running wild with construction equipment and killing Jews any way they can. Not facing the death every day they don’t have a sense of danger. Some them, sad to say, even wish Israel would be wiped out then they could just forget about being Jews altogether.
It surely took them a long time to figure that out, while the Jews in this country still don’t have a clue.

Give it some time before it happens.
So many people write that they are surprised or perplexed by that voting pattern.
How many decades will it take to show you that they vote for liberal positions on social issues above all else?
The incongruity is with the erroneous presumption by Christians of shared values between the two religions, a presumption definitively belied by voting patterns.
Two different religions.
Two different sets of values.
“And yet 90% of Jews here vote D. I’ll never figure it out.”
Obama takes a HUGE risk here. At some point, Jews in the US will figure this out (they may be disproportionately professions, but they are idiots when it comes to politics) - and when they do figure it out, not only will their votes disappear, but so will their money, and that will bite.
78% (not 90%) voted for the Demwits, and that’s just a bit higher than the usual percentage of the Jewish vote for the Demwits. It has NOTHING TO DO with Israel, it has to do with the generally liberal politics of American Jews.
The real story is that the only reason it gets brought up in pretty much every single thread is that there’s an undercurrent of Jew hatred even here on FR. It’s commonplace on the leftwinger sites like Kos and HuffPo, and of course, on their idealogical tail, the skinhead sites. It has literally no place on FR.
Apparently the Israelis are discovering what we Freepers have known for some time.
I suppose it’s “better late than never”.
The big question is, what will they do about it?
Now, let me make this clear, I don't mean all of them but a large number of them must feel that way or 80 % or whatever it was, wouldn't have voted for the Bozo.
