There's already enough of that around here.
32. Wow!

I never thought I would see the day when Jews and Israelis were more racist than the Klu Klux Klan, but from some of the comments herein, it has happened. Just because of the US President's name, most racists believe he is a Muslim and because he is black, most Israelis believe he is anti-Semitic or anti-Israel. Many white Jews, especially the more religious, just do not trust colored people. I know this well having grown up with an orthodox family. What most of you will not acknowledge here is that the WHOLE Western World including Israel needs to cut their budgets. Money doesn't grow on trees and unlimited spending cannot be sustained. In the US we have seen our educational and health care systems slip below Third World countries because the defense budget is so bloated. I know this for a fact having spent the last 35+ years in the defense industry with major players. If the wasted money could be contained and if politics could be eliminated from defense procurement we could have both 'guns and butter' but that would take Democrats and Republicans working together and compromises from both sides . Lots of luck on that one!

Rich Jews pay huge amounts of taxes in this country, and how many Jews do you see sucking the welfare, Jews are raised to be responsible Supporting Israel should be a right in this country, because this country did nothing to help the Jews in WW2(before and after the war) and because Jews pay huge taxes and get nothing in return

A vote for Ron Paul is a wasted vote because he is not going to win the contest and if he was chosen as Republican candidate it would be an Obama victory. He is to radical for alot of people and they would rather another term with Obama than Ron Paul the radical. The pathetic thing about these cuts Obama is making is 6-7 million won't do a thing to fix up the economy but its a huge sum for Israel. He is also making himself enemies of Jews at a time when he is supposed to be going after the Jewish vote.

Arn ,   Sweden   (02.14.12)
