Hopefully, Jews will wake up and not continue to vote blindly for a party that has become increasingly anti-Israel, and pro Muslim fascist.

For now, the latest Quinnipiac poll shows Obama's approval among Jews at 75%. Sad, to say the least.

Alex,
Countries like Israel, Britain, Honduras, Colombia, Poland, the Czech Republic, etc., that Obama has given the back of his hand to, are friends and allies of the USA. They are emphatically not countries Obama and his consiglieri are friends with. He is opening to the countries that are his friends, and dissing those that he views as hostile.

And her support for Israel is not predicated in the largest part on her religious views. She recognizes Israel as a friend and reliable ally of the United States. Until this administration, one would think that being such would be at least something of a recommendation. Right now it seems to be the opposite; our hand is outstretched and open to countries like Iran that are actively killing American soldiers, but the back of our hand to Britain, Poland, Honduras, and the Czech Republic.

I began my long journey from the (very moderate) left when my thinking was prodded by the left’s attitude towards Israel. However, I’d support Israel even if the Israelis were Vietnamese.

Palin is a friend of Israel! I remember seeing a picture of her office in which she had a small Israeli flag visible. For many of us being a friend of Israel is the litmus test for support, and she certainly qualifies in that regard. I am beginning to believe that a major political shift will occur in 2010, and continue into 2012 in which the neo- dems and their self proclaimed intellectual elite will get tossed out of office. Hopefully, Jews will wake up and not continue to vote blindly for a party that has become increasingly anti-Israel, and pro Muslim fascist.

Sarah Palin in higher office would be able to do many things in support of her views, including:
- move the US Embassy to Jerusalem;
- forge closer relationships between NATO and Israel;
- provide better quality materiel for the defence of Israel; and
- give stronger support in the UN Security Council and other international forums.

Just a thought.

Israel is a very small “country”–even if the 1948 borders were in force. Jordan was to have been the “Palestinian homeland”–not Israel. The additional building flap is a phony “issue”–the existence of Israel is the real issue. HAMAS, the PLO, and Hizbollah all work on their “reality” that THE ONLY GOOD JEW IS A DEAD JEW. What “negotiated solution” is possible with terrorists who want an Adolf Hitler style FINAL SOLUTION?

I disagree that the average American is not supportive of Israel. Here in Texas atleast people have a great deal of respect for the fortitude and determination of the Israeli people to survive in a world that is increasingly unsupportive and unfriendly towards them.
If only the Iranians feared us as much as they do Israel. But the apology train with obama as engineer just keeps on rolling down the line Woo, Wooo.

I agree with Sarah,it is refreshing hearing someone say what they mean and mean what they say.Wish we had more of that.The pc is old and tiring.
