31. Why would Jews vote for Obama
Fred ,   Greenwood, USA   (10.03.08)
Obama sat under The Rev. Wright for 20 years who constantly delivered racial remarks against whites and Jews. You had better take a closer look at Obama who is a sheep in wolf's clothing. Why would Jews vote for this man?
32. Most Jews are NOT Radical liberal Hollywood elites
Kerri ,   US   (10.03.08)
No Jew in their right mind will vote for Barack Obama. Obama surrounds himself with Anti Semitic, Anti American and Anti Israeli friends, advisors and supporters. Perhaps the radial leftist Hollywood Jews and their sympathizers will back Barack Hussein Obama. But any Jew (myself included) who is concerned about the safety and security of the US and Israel will vote for John McCain.

hamorush,we don't care about your opinion :-))
34. Only Self-Loathing Jews Who Support Obama
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (10.03.08)
No big surprise. we Jews have always had a large percentage of self-haters. But the level of self-hate among the Jewish left, the amount of effort they put into supporting every anti-Jewish person and policy is really quite astounding. These idiot leftist Jews will not be satisfied until there is another Holocaust, after which they will cry and claim to be so disappointed. But that is a lie. They are only disappointed that so many Jews are still alive. They are absolutely despicable people, with IQ's running south 83, and should be shunned by normal society. Because, in the end, they hate normal society and wish nothing but chaos and terror on the world. These useful idiots are as dangerous as the arabs who want to wipe Jews from the planet and should be treated as such. The despicable left will kill us all (which is exactly what they want to happen) and we must start dealing with them on this level. They are not just worthless morons, they are dangerous morons. Very dangerous morons.
35. Obama's Anti Israel record
Kerri ,   US   (10.03.08)
Key members of Obamas Middle East advisory team are anti-Israel. • As a board member for a Chicago nonprofit, Obama okayed a grant to an Arab-American group that is anti-Israel. • Obama is a member of a church whose pastor has espoused anti-Israeli ideas, and which gave an award to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has famously made anti-Semitic remarks.
36. CAUTION: THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR VOTE!
jodi ,   USA   (10.03.08)

37. Sarah Silverman
Dan   (10.03.08)
Silverman is a foul-mouthed, not very funny comedian. Her show is typically mind-numbing and laced with cursing, as if watching an otherwise sweet faced young Jewish woman talk like a sailor is funny. Now she presumes to give us advice, as if she is some oracle of wisdom. PLEASE LITTLE SARAH! Come back and talk to me when you grow out of your rather extended adolescence. Your dear leader has a phone bank manned by Hamas in Gaza calling eligible voters to vote for Obama. Still not worried?
38. Jewish Representation
Abir ,   Chicago, IL   (10.03.08)
I wonder why she feels empowered to speak on behalf of Jews in the US. Not all Jews support Obama or the Democrats, and articles like these create a wrong impression. There are many among the Jewish community in the US that do not identify with the Democrats. Even from the Israeli perspective, I doubt if there was an administration that was so favorable to Israel as the Bush administration. With all the leftist organizations supporting Obama, and his subscription to a church whose leader was openly anti-Semitic in his views, I would seriously doubt his support for Israel.
39. Barack means the Horse of Muhhamad
Rich ,   New York   (10.03.08)
It has nothing to do with lightning. He, Obama, was named after Muhhamads horse with womans face. This is from Obamas review. Or ask his friends Mr. White and Mr. Farakhan.
40. Sarah Silverman, YOU ROCK!
Joe ,   Los Angeles, USA   (10.03.08)
Sarah is a great comedian. Notice there are no good comedians from Germany? Because they killed them all. Is that what you people want? Lighten up.
41. # 10 Aloha Bob , Waimea USA
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.03.08)
What's the Yiddish word for gall, again? The word you are looking for is: Hootzpah
42. She's a vulgar self-hater who got famous cuz she mocks Jews
Sarah ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
43. #29 - Not the New Jewish Right - just self-preservation
Rachel ,   Israel   (10.03.08)
Just because the entire American Jewish Left has thrown itself behind the Mansourian candidate doesn't mean that Jews have completely forsaken every form of self-preservation. Axlerod may be Obama's key man and everyone in Hollywood may be throwing money at him, but there are still plenty of Jews who are smart enough to recognize a Socialist bought with Arab petro-dollars when they see one.
44. When in doubt, opt out!
Ram ,   London   (10.03.08)
Obamas track record and his consorts don't have a good track record vis-a-vis Israel. Is it prudent to vote him in on the supposition he "may" turn good? There is more then just a gut feeling here, there is a long history involving association and a lot of flip-flopping viv-a-vis Israel.
45. I always said Silverman is sick
Ronny ,   Germany   (10.03.08)
After seeing just one video of Silverman I knew she was sick. Now I see the proof.
46. # 29 What makes you more moral?
Bill ,   US   (10.03.08)
And what makes modern Islam different from older versions? I think you're getting too much sun in Eilat.
47. # 34 US Jews who care about the shape of the economy
Bill ,   US   (10.03.08)
will vote for Obama. Jews who can relate to a crotchety old man who can't remember how many homes he owns will vote for McCain. I can't imagine what you were thinking, Mr. Pride, when McCain called James "F_ the Jews they don't vote for us anyway" Baker the leading expert on the Middle East.
48. what an ignorant, foul-mouthed beeeiiitch! NObama for sure.
ShneerHere ,   Chicago   (10.03.08)
She's going to blame the Jews. How nice. So when the blowback comes, they can beat and rape her instead of all the innocents she so casually disgraces with her spoiled, ignorant thought processes. Silvermans, Steinfelds,Speilbergs, Geffens, Pritzkers..... these Jewish Bundists don't represent ME!
49. Obama joker
Hanna ,   Boston   (10.03.08)
Nothing is more vulgar than a middleaged ugly "Jewish joker" repeating F** you several times on stage every 2 minutes and laudly laughing exposing bad tooths, like this woman Silverman.
50. Shockingly vile Jewess....The worst of humanity.
BJL ,   us   (10.03.08)
51. oy, what an idiot!
oded   (10.03.08)
52. Jodi, 38
Yaron ,   USA   (10.03.08)
Thanks for sharing.....awesome video.
53. # 29 and the "Jewish New Right"
Semper Fi! ,   San Diego, USA   (10.03.08)
The people that you call the Jewish New Right are the same people that save your behind and are trying to avoid Israel to become a bunch of ruins. You've got yo be an idiot to accuse people that try to protect your country and the USA from another coward and turncoat like ex Carter to become president of the only Superpower in the world. I used to love Sarah Silverman, but I won't watch her from now on. I read yesterday another alarming article regarding the surge of antisemitism in the USA, there are not antisemites in this country before a bunch of scumbags of Hollywood and in the business world like Soros, Streisand, etc.. and some greedy CEO's or other jewish investment companies like Lehmann, Goldman, etc... started screwing the american people for their own profits. Wwe can fight antisemitism, but we cannot fight cowardice and politics that will destroy the State of Israel. By the way, I read that Banks, the dirty thief behind the Fredy Mac and Fanny Mae scam is also jewish..That thief and others are the responsible of this crisis, in order to give the minorities that "adore" us jews so so much..the monnies that took us to the situation we are in..Thank you disgusting Banks...
54. Who B. Hussein Obama really is
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.03.08)
A community orgazimizer wanting to implement communist style policies that have not yielded results even in that tiny Chicago community.
55. No McCain
Harel ,   Miami   (10.03.08)
Oh, Obama is bad for Israel? But the legacy of the Bush administration in the middle east has been the best policy in recent history, right? An unstable war in Iraq that has reinvigorated the radical terrorists, emboldened Iran in their quest for the bomb, weakened America's ability and resolve to stand by Israel's side in the event of a major conflict, and almost singlehandedly caused the economic collapse of this nation by wasting 10B dollars a week in Bush's 100 years war. That is good for Israel? This being the same administration that has refused to give Israel the green light for an Iran strike because it might draw retaiation against American positions in Iraq and Afganastan??? Those are your dear friends? No American administration will put Israel first, period. Wake up. McCain straight out promises MORE war on Iran and whichever other nation his war-mongering delusions might fancy. That is not good for Israel, and it is most definitely not good for America. This election is about what is good for the future of the American people, not Israel. McCain is not the answer to reversing course and reestablishing American prominence. His would only be a third Bush term. And that is extremely bad for Israelis and Americans alike. Supporting Obama is not anti-Israel and not anti-American. It is opening your eyes to the reality of the world post Bush, and realizing that this xenophobic, irrational ideology get us nowhere. It's realizing what flagrant disregard for rational economic principals has brought for millions of Americans. It's recognizing the past and learning from it. Besides, we Israelis have no room to criticize the presidential candidates in America after having elected a criminal like Olmert to office, who would serve the nation up on a silver platter to the Arabs. Now that is a truly scary reality.
56. #39
jb ,   Yahopitzville   (10.03.08)
#39 nis correct El Barak refers to Mohammed's horse, the one he rode to heaven. So you might say that a vote for Barak is a vote for a horse's ass!
57. #39: I thought Barack was Hebrew for "warrior"
just wondering   (10.03.08)
How is his name any different than the Ehud Barak who is Jewish?
58. #39: okay, I looked it up
addendum   (10.03.08)
Barack means "Blessing" in Arabic. I couldn't find anything on "Horse of Muhammad." Anyway, it is the same derivation as Ehud Barak's. Are you doing to assert, by virtue of a name, that he is Muslim too?
59. stop slamming Obama, you Olmert-voting idiots!
(10.03.08)
60. Sara, how much is Obama paying you?
Chaim ,   NJ USA   (10.03.08)
Or are you just another empty headed celebrity who is butting in where they don't belong?
