These right wingers have aligned forces to gain office in their respective countries. When did this become acceptable behavior?

Clearly the billionaires who back Walker aren't funding him because of his great intellect or leadership potential. They all know he's a dufus. They back him because he will do anything they want in exchange for moving him ahead politically.

I have no doubt he would sell out the best interests of the United States to billionaires and even Israel if it could get him into the White House. Just look how he sold out the people of Wisconsin to get him to where he is now.

If it wasn't for electronic voting and other things I doubt he would still be
in office.

Since when does a governor get to make foreign policy?

"Our American Revival" = Koch Brothers front group =

Sadly, spineless democrats are not spinning this as letting Israel meddle in our internal affairs.

The tea party crowd may hate Obama but they won't let the jewish state control American politics either.

Why are these freaking traitorous idiot neocons putting the wellbeing of Netanyahoo over the well being of the US? It's not even Israel they are sucking off, it's little murderer who's personally getting a dick sucking from each and every one of the Repug leadership. I guess WAR is really their end-all be-all and the big war's is being promoted and pushed by the little murderer, so he's their guy?

Two disastrous leaders. I know people in both Israel and Wisconsin, and none of them has a good word to say for these nutters.

See American liberal Jews don't hate Bibi, in fact many like him and the republicans know this, if they can peel away enough Jewish voters from voting party lines they will win big time in the next general election.

Further, liberal American Jews are deeply concerned about the huge rise in Antisemitism around the world and are discouraged by the ho hum attitude coming from the European left.

If the democratic party loses the Jewish vote, liberal candidates are basically fucked.

See American liberal Jews don't hate Bibi, in fact many like him and the republicans know this, if they can peel away enough Jewish voters from voting party lines they will win big time in the next general election.

A new Gallup poll shows a continuing shift in the political affiliation among American Jews, with more and more of this voting bloc leaning Republican.

While they leaned Democratic 71-22 in 2008, they now favor the blue team 61-29 after a slow but significant shift.

Yes, the movement toward Republicans mirrors an overall national shift away from Democrats, but among American Jews it's more pronounced. Democrats have seen a 10-point drop-off among Jews since 2008, and nationally a seven-point drop in Democratic party identification, according to Gallup.

President Obama's difficult relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not helped Democrats. A recent poll by a left-leaning group showed that among Jewish voters, Netanyahu has a higher favorability rating than Obama — 53 percent to 48 percent. This summer, tensions ran especially high as the Israeli government launched a military action in Gaza, with the Obama administration calling for a series of humanitarian cease-fires.

Also, that doesn't support what you said even if it was current.

That's got to be a bit higher.

That's a very scandalous accusation.

Many observant Jews on the left that I talk to are very concerned about the hostility towards Israel they see coming from the left.

All this ridiculous hyperbole about "racist zionists" "apartheid Israel", "genocide against the Palestinians" is most definitely having an effect, it's causing Jews to leave the Democratic party.

Maybe that's the goal of the anti-Israel crowd, I don't know.

Given that you refer to the occupied West Bank as "Judea and Samaria" there is some doubt as to how plugged in to liberal sentiment you are.

And here you are telling us that Likud speaks for liberal American Jews.

The plainly observable fact is that Jewish public opinion moves in much the same manner as it does for the rest of the population.



In other words, not due to Israel, or people saying mean things about Israel's government, but because of the things that affect everyone else--the economy, etc.

His "cram sessions" and flash cards and 12th grade diploma have made him into a regular Middle East policy wonk.

Hey Walker. Where are the JOBS? ya loser

So when did Israel become the 51st state?
