Citing "prior commitments," Democrat candidate for the US Senate from Illinois, Alexi Giannoulias, abruptly backed out of a debate with his Republican opponent about Israel and the Middle East. Curious though, "Giannoulias, his Republican opponent, Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), and other local politicians had agreed to participate in the forum months ago" and the Giannoulias' campaign had confirmed the State Treasurer's availability, according to the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA).
The debate was arranged by the non-partisan Protect Our Heritage public action committee and 16 other Jewish organizations, including several Chicago area synagogues. Besides debating, the candidates would also answer questions from voters about Israel and related matters. Evidently, that was too scary for Giannoulias, whose opponent is known as one of the most knowledgeable House members on foreign policy, as well as arguably Israel's best friend in Congress.
"As Iran continues its pursuit of nuclear weapons and terrorists threaten Israel from Gaza and Lebanon, our next U.S. Senator should not be afraid to stand up for our strongest democratic ally in the Middle East," Kirk said in a statement. Giannoulias did not respond to multiple phone calls from JTA.

The above might help explain the insanity.
In my opinion, liberalism is a mental illness and once you catch it and weave your ego, mind and personality and life around it, it is not easy to reclaim reality. For liberals their political ideology of social justice (socialism) is their religion.

The U.S. Jewish Community has been fiercely pro Dem, but many of the Israeli Jewish Community know better. Obozo is not fooling Bebe, that tough old guy will have Obozo for lunch.
I am not Jewish, but have many good Jewish friends here on FR and other places on the web. None of those are lefties.
I too have many good Jewish friends but most agree that socialism is a good thing and the govenment can and should take care of the people,I don’t agree with them.
This Jew is a life long conservative. If a Democrat was on fire I wouldn’t even piss on them.
The ones I know vote Ind. but they do have some good views and very strange ones too.
