31. this jew voting for guiliani
DAVID ,   NEW YORK   (12.12.07)
and so are the large majority of orthodox jews
32. 28 Petra: "Parade" magazine has an article now and
Rivkah   (12.12.07)
then about how US Presidents are ALL related in some way to British monarchs. Why is that? In the Bible, Judah is given the sceptor (kingship or headship) and Joseph is given the birthright (blessing) by Jacob. The throne of Judah or David as you would call it moved from Jerusalem to Northern Ireland when the Prophet Jeremiah and his scribe Baruk took Princess Tia Tephe there to establish the throne. The throne of Judah or David then moved to Scotland and then to London where the Stone of Scone (pillow stone of Jacob) is below the coronation throne when monarchs are crowned in Britain. Manasseh was told he would become a great nation (America). Ephraim was told he would become a multitude of nations with the gates of their enemies (British Commonwealth). Both were sons of Joseph who got the blessing or birthright or prosperity. But JUDAH got the sceptor...THEREFORE BRITISH MONARCHS AND AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ARE DESCENDED FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
33. No way I'll vote for Hillary.
Sara ,   Los Angeles   (12.12.07)
34. UNTIL CARTER most Jews if not all were democrats
BUSH ,   USA   (12.12.07)
because of the fear of the extreme right like the KKK , nazis or communist russians. After carter democrats became very very liberal. Even the republicans today became like the democrats from old. Whoever Jews were in the democratic house at that time stayed and became as them. The Orthodox on the other hand who follow the Torah knew how to protect themselves from their harms to the generation left and became conservative republicans. Close to 100% left the democratic party entirely. The extreme right and the extreme left are both not the Torah way. If there were such a thing as a conservative democrat they would be there too.
35. I WILL NOT ACT STUPID.MY VOTE FOR GUILIANI, THE MAN FOR JEWS
GUILIANI IS RIGHT ,   ,,,,,,DACON9   (12.13.07)
36. go hilary!
orit ,   nes ziona   (12.13.07)
Finally an openly bisexual president! no wonder the haredim are scared~~
37. This article is blatantly false; Ynet is misreporting.
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (12.13.07)
I read this article and then the actual survey results. While it is true that among Democratic Jews Hillary is #1 and among Republican Jews Guiliani is #1 there is no indication whatsoever that in a race between Hillary and Rudy, Hillary would be the first choice among American Jews. Thus, Ynet is misreporting the results. Although most American Jews are Democrats and even Bush couldn't get a majority of the Jewish vote, it is entirely possible that Rudy will. (Although the Jewish vote in Ohio and Florida won it all for Bush) REMEMBER: New York City is even more overwhelmingly Democratic than the American Jewish population and yet Rudy won New York twice, once is a landslide. Moreover, Rudy has shown more pro-Israel tendancies than anyone who has ever run for office. I think Guiliani will get more Jewish votes than Hillary if it is between the two of them. None of us forgot that the same year that Guiliani kicked Arafat out of a private party Rudy was throwing for all world leaders, Hillary was kissing Shuah.
38. 34 Bush: The Republicans became Democrats and the
Rivkah   (12.13.07)
Democrats became Communists. Jews fare better under Communists than Christians, looking at Russia where most churches but few synagogues burned under the Communists. So Jews tend to be Democrats and Christians, Republicans. Sadly, there is not much difference in those two parties anymore. Ron Paul or Tom Tancreado are the exception to that rule of those running for President.
39. CHARACTERIZATIONS...........................
(12.13.07)
By YNET indicating clinton as "favorite" a hard adjective from the "lexicon" of black & white then , Juliani is said to be "regarded" (a less than solid notation) as if tacitly inferring a lesser "standing" in a picture denoting two clenched fist and a demeanor of ranting, while the photo of hillory is "celebrityesque" as if to suggest the disciplined ,up looking ,focused , craft dedicated entertainer ! The real limus test will be wether this notation of acute journalistic bias will be published ?
40. Next US Prez will be a democrat
Petra ,   usa   (12.13.07)
Even repub candidates are distancing themselves from mad dog bush.
41. # 11 re: American Jews Shmuel
(12.13.07)
And Israelis voted for Sharon who gave orders to have the settlers move AFTER telling them to build. Do you also call Sharon a Liberal? Trouble is, party titles don't mean much these days. Bush holds hands with Israels enemy, the Saudi Prince, who pushes for HIS plan in the ME, 'conservative' can mean befriending the enemy of both Israel and America, if you're an oil whore. I wouldn't vote for another repub if they paid me! Conservatives like Bush have managed to bankrupt America, lie to the American people re: WMD, involve us in the Iraq war, and forcing Israels back to the wall via the roadmap to hell. Any liberal would have been better than the village idiot, Bush.
42. re#35,GIULIANI PROVED TO BE MAN FOR THE WORLD,NOT ONLY JE WS

45. Hillary Accepts Terrorist Money
Ariella ,   Los Angeles   (12.13.07)
This item is both on JihadWatch and WorldNetDaily. Hillary accepted donations from Islamists under federal investigations for terror-financing, money laundering and tax fraud.
46. Giuliani Refuses $10 Million from Saudi Prince
Ariella ,   Los Angeles   (12.13.07)
In contrast to Hillary Clinton, on October 12, 2001, CNN reported that Mayor Rudy Giuliani said New York would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. Way to go, Rudy.
47. RON PAUL
Gedaliah ,   Pittsburgh U.S.A   (12.13.07)
Fellow Jews.....I am a Baal Teshuva (returnee) observant Jew who believes the only good choice for America and Israel is Ron Paul. Though I put my faith in Hashem and not in politics or its players.....The only candidate worthy of a vote in my humble opinion is Ron Paul. Hillary is the same as Guilliani and their policies will be the same as George W. Bush. Ron Paul believes, and rightfully so that Israel's Sovereignty is up to Israel, not the encroachment of the "quartet" nor the united states and it's growing empire. Politicians are not our saviors, we must put our trust in G-d, however just to make a point Ron Paul is the most pro-American and Pro-Israel Candidate, and will stay out of Israel's way. We must stop depending on other nations and rely on ourselves and be proud Jews and trust G-d.
48. Rudy has no chance
John S. ,   Denver, USA   (12.13.07)
Like it or not, Rudy has absolutely no chance whatsoever of winning simply because he is a social liberal (pro-choice, gay-friendly, &c.) and every Republican needs the socially conservative evangelical vote to win the Republican nomination. Trust me, The War Against Terrorism & support for Israel does not outweigh homophobia, anti-immigrant racism, state control over a woman's right to choose and other Rightist social points. So forget about Rudy, he is a pipe dream. As for Hillary, I have no idea what you people are complaining about. You couldn't ask for a more pro-Israel candidate; further she is more than likely to get it (she has the all important money). How much more pro-Israel can you get than Hillary outside of an Israeli citizen?
49. #47: Ron Paul - Pro and Con
Ariella ,   Los Angeles   (12.13.07)
I agree Ron Paul is, by far, the sanest candidate, with immaculate record of ethics and a true understanding of what a good, responsive and responsible government should and shouldn't do. Ron Paul would return the U.S. to its original Constitutional strength and freedom. I have nothing but respect for him. Regarding Israel, Ron Paul would cut all aid to Israel as he would to all other countries. He simply doesn't believe the U.S. should support anyone else. On the other hand, he would truly leave Israel alone to defend herself as she sees fit, a luxury Israel has not had for too long and an important reason Israel has so weakened in the last 40 years.
50. #48 Is ridiculous
Shambhalah ,   Colorado Springs, CO   (12.13.07)
Trust you? What a ridiculous thing to say. Yes, we Republicans eat Jewish babies too. Nonsense like what you spout is what has turned so many against lefties like you. Ant-immigrant racism? What orifice did you pluck that out of?
51. Forget The Left
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (12.13.07)
...They WILL give the vast majority of their votes to Hillary, no mayttter what. They are stalwart Yellow Dog Dems...relics from the F.D. Roosevelt presidency. FDR is a fellow whom the American Jews hold a little higher than G_d for reasons that I'll never understand. This sect of Liberalism got its moniker from the fact they'd vote for a yellow dog, as long as it is a registered Dem. Petra, cool it! G.W. Bush isn't running for president. Stop fighting your own little Mein Kampf over someone you so viscerally hate.
52. #48 From Mars?
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (12.13.07)
You call Hillary pro Israel??? Is kissing Suha Arafat an indication of this, or are you plain insane? http://gaypatriot.net/wp-content/uploads/hillaryandsuhaIII.jpg
53. #16 Steve in Fl.
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (12.13.07)
If you think Queen Hillary will be more supportive of Israel than President Bust, Think Again
54. Response to #50 & #52
John S. ,   Denver, USA   (12.14.07)
Shambhalah # 50: LOL. You can day dream about Rudy all day and all night and it won't win the evangelical Right over for a minute. Rudy is the the only candidate with photos of himself dressed drag, the only one who was publicly caught cheating on his wife, the only one to openly admit being a rooming with a gay couple (after being thrown out of his home during the divorce), the only one aggressively pro-woman (pro-choice) and stands absolutely, positively no chance whatsoever of winning over the evangelicals, the rank-and-file of die-hard Republican voters. As I said, Rudy is a total non-starter without even taking into consideration his complete and utter lack of qualifications for the position. The slogan "9/11" is not a platform. Robert #52: Is that the best you have? How is that significantly different than almost every Israeli Prime Minister and US President shaking hands (or in the case of the current Bush, the most pro-Israel President ever, walking holding hands) with various Arab leaders and the like? In substance, you couldn't ask for a more pro-Israel candidate than Hillary, despite the fact that she has basic social graces. Like I said previously how in the world can you argue that Hillary isn't as pro-Israel as any US politician could be?
55. Y-net
Connie ,   Virginia   (12.19.07)
I'm disappointed. The Jewish senator from Connecticut, Joseph Lieberman has endorsed John McCain for president and you didn't didn't have a story on it. You guys should scan Fox news.com regularly
56. Jewish vote goes to Clinton
joeyb ,   brooklyn   (12.20.07)
the democratic party has changed and was taken over by ultra liberal america haters who never look to strengthen american pride,yet look to destroy it for political gain.Any Jewish American who still votes democrat has to get the heads checked.They (not clinton nessasarily) are not freinds of israel.Clinton on the other hand is a fake.She goes where the wind blows.
