the American Jews have abandoned Obama (with notable radical Left wing exceptions) because of his anti-West stand (which includes Israel, Britain, France, and Czech Republic and Poland... although most can only name the first two) his looktheotherway policy vis-a-vis Iran his anti-capitalist stand his handling of the economy his weakening of American standing in the world his alliances with ultra radical leftist elements and of course his hostility towards Israel (aside from the anti-western block) and its national aspirations. then of course there is the world in chaos (People are not blind to the media's idiotic portrayal of the "Arab Spring" they know very well that radical Islamists have taken over) and that Nidal was a terrorist and not just a "psychiatrist" who was insulted by his fellow soldiers.

Obama's "change" has been to the worse in all aspects of the America's existence: political, economical, educational and diplomatic. Obama is well on his way of dethroning Carter as the worst US president, and the most Anti-Israeli to date. I bet that wye he retires on Nov/2012, Obama will also publish a memoire crappy book, full of blood libels against Israel, its leaders and against Jews in general. History repeats itself, the only difference being the skin color.

As a american jew i am closer to Israel now than i was twenty yeats ago. The jews you speak about are the Soros funded Jstreet minority. While i am secular and have some religous disagreements these Jstreeters dont represent me i support a strong Israel.

Way to go! Netanyahu is a vile man who leads a vile, illegitimate state that besmirches the Holy Land.

The crew in the White House are no friends of Israel. They could care less about Israel's security.

that the divide between Right-Left gets stronger and more bitter in it's manifestations. That's obvious and (in my mind) easy to explain: it is because the issue is not relatively trivial (economics). It is Freedom vs. Islam. Simple as that! The liberal/left-call them what you want blind bats of "multiculturalism" are steering the Western World onto path leading straight for an abyss. The rest of us, right-wing/ patriotic/republican and with clear vision call spade a spade. We're in the middle of a war, only some don't want to fight. I could be wrong and Obama is a latent fan of all things Jewish....?

Get used to it, Obama will be here for another term.

The whining and laments are multiplying in hard Left circles - not because "N" did anything substantial, but because the subversive, foreign gov.ment subsidized insidious actions of the Leftists are now under the microscope and the Knesset shed bright light on them. The more and more people getting aware of the actions of the International Left, the more discomfort sets in in their rank. They always prefer acting in stealth mode behind pious slogans; - the masks are falling at last.

What "catastrophe" is threatening the US related to Israel? These Jstreet clones are hurling lofty words into the air, devoid of meaning only to impress with drama the fearful readers. The only catastrophe is Obamao presidency: now this "genius" asking the mullah to give back the lost spy plane. Is he mindful as to how ridiculous he sounds? And many still worship this fellow.

I don't know where Mr Barnea gets his information about the Tea Party but the Tea Party is simply a grassroots movement to call attention to runaway taxes and spending at a time when out debt and defecit are out of control. It supports candidates who will commit themselves to cut taxes and spending, then holds those candidates accountable once in office. Israel needs a Tea Party movement more than we do! In what universe is advocating fiscal prudence an extremist position?

"liberal left-wing party". Obama is the most conservative Democratic president since Grover Cleveland (nineteenth century). He is to the right of Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford.

YNET: The fellow who wrote this piece is either delusional or incompetent. Perhaps both.

The real issue is Osama - oops I mean Obama's bowing down to his Islamic buddies. Israel is correctly defending herself from this Pres.

To call this nonsense", is a complement... I am an american jew, and I support a strong Israel, and despise Jstreeters...

You are a nothing whose vile existence besmirches humanity

your NAZI attitude If only you had the guts to come to Israel and express yourself in person, which we know that you will never do, since you're a coward thru & thru

It would be hard to find a true sentence in this ridiculous article. The truth is that a huge majority of Americans believe Obama is leading America in the wrong direction. No U.S. President, since he Civil War era, has weakened America as badly as Obama. Not surprisingly, Obama's policies towards Israel are as misguided as his economic, military, health care and other policies. Most Americans and most Israelis are united in the fervent desire to see Obama gone.

This is one helluva stupid a-s analogy. Ynet you've lost your flippen mind. I think the N word for yoooos is NUMBSKULLS.

The author is highly confused if he thinks Obama and America are synonymous. Obama is a once muslim leftwing ideologue who has played every card i.e. race, class, taxes, envy, globalism, and UN love against the interests of his own country . He will be gone in 11 months. The walls of the US Congress are still vibrating from the applause given to Bibi last May.

hahahahahahah! a christian who is in love with israel

this is all shtuyote. The US senate passed additional sanctions on Iran in a 100-0 vote, and obama asked them to walk it back. In other words, the most powerful legislative body in the world, the upper chamber of the US Congress passed harsh sanctions against Iran with unanimous support, and still Obama wanted to walk it back. He is just a joke of a President when it comes to Foreign policy. If there is a disagreement between Bibi and Obama on Iran it is because Obama is far too left wing, far too soft, not because of anything Bibi said or did. Bibi is not the source of the problem. Whatever, come november 2012 we are going to vote him out of office, so I'd take everything nachum barnea writes with a massive grain of salt.

does B O like kings of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait so much. As for Hilary & her comment about women in Israel, she says nothing regarding female conditions in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran. Obama & Sec of State Clinton only weeks ago hailed that "progressive " leader Assad of Syria while demanding Israel apologize to Turkey & blaming Israel for all problems. Obama has deftly out witted Obama, even on B O's home US turf

bus as he promised his friends in the Muslim World. My congrats to Bibi N for steering Israel and our people thru such a tempest! Im sickened by White House Chanuka Ceremonies and Seders.

Almost every Jew I know who voted for Obama is waiting to get rid of them. The so called leftist media in Israel claims to know the US Jewish mind and they don't. Gingrich threw his comment not for the Israeli Jews but for the American Jews. More and more are realizing that the Democratic agenda has only busted the US and put Israel more in danger.

Jews have abandonded Obama for many reasons, and are more concerned over Isreal due to the snubbing. The parties are not as you say there is strong support for Israel in both parties 30% dem & 80% repub. Finall the "N" word is because anytime they were together Bibi's strong leadership (agree or not) makes Obama's 'lead from behind' style make him look like a tuchus.
