Tzila ,   Modiin, Israel   (09.05.12)
DNC policy is most likely be underwritten by the Muslim Brotherhood. Check this out: http://frontpagemag.com/2012/frontpagemag-com/joe-biden-gets-a-pass-on-the-brewster-gang-1/. And since this Arab b$&*h is working as closest advisor to Hillary, you can bet that even if Hillary wins in 2016, which she is setting up to do, MB will still be around calling the shots. If Mitt wins, an immediate sweeping(purging) of all gov't agencies are in order.
64. The real Obama
tiki ,   belgium   (09.05.12)
We all know what an anti Israel president Obama is (exept Jossi Beilin). Question is what the US voters & Jews think and if they are going to do something about it, because 4 more years of Obama will make these first four years look like paradise. The man hasn't accomplished anything but is constantly patting himself on the back. Wouldn't we have heard about it 24/7 if he had? America has lost it's standing in the world and the economy is in tatters. Let's hope the Americans will not repeat their mistake and vote this man out.
65. so you're betraying your brothers in Israel

if you're not seeing that Obama is disaster for israel, you either blind or simply don't care
66. Obama retracted his statement on "undivided Jerusalem"!
mary_of_bethany ,   singapore   (09.05.12)
"You know, the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech. And we immediately tried to correct the interpretation that was given.” this is the exact craps he spill for "accidentally" said that Jerusalem to remain Israel's undivided Capital" to AIPAC back in 2008. he further on claimed "And it is an example of us making sure that we are careful in terms of our syntax. " so when we listen to all Obama speech in future, we must take into consideration his "Syntax" problem and "poor phrasing in speech". so due to his "bad English", we can never trust his "yes" be "yes" , and "nay" be "nay" ?
67. I'll vote for Obama, but only when he
Ruth ,   Lake Worth, FL   (09.05.12)
call upon the Democratic Party to accept Jerusalem as Israel's eternal capital city of the state of Israel and the Jewish people, as he pronounced back in 2008, before he was elected to the Presidency.
68. Obama does only harm to America and Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.05.12)
Obama's campaign is based solely on demonizing Romney. There is a good reason. Obama does only harm to America and Israel. There is not one good thing the Obama campaign can cite as a reason to vote for him.
69. Sorry, Ed (@1), You're Not Correct
emanon ,   USA   (09.05.12)
Israel is an independent country: act like one! Supporting Romney and the GOP will mean we will be sewing yellow stars and pink triangles on our clothes. I am voting for who I feel is the best choice for MY COUNTRY and the party that gives me the most freedom, has my interests at heart and will do more to unite, not divide, our country.

71. It is amazing
Rose ,   Tulsa,USA   (09.05.12)
to read all this garbage written about voting for obama. Where were you 2007-8 ? Did anyone think about checking out his past and wonder what was going on when it was absent did it not raise a question in your powerful reasoning brain? If not, thats what I call very scary and dangerous. May God continue to bless Israel..
72. #41 that was the platform from 2008
Jake   (09.05.12)
Obviously you missed the point of the article. The reference to Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2008 has been removed in the 2012 platform.
73. #50 the only country Obama will run into the the ground
Jake   (09.05.12)
is America. If Obama gets reelected, Israel will be sure to insulate itself from Obama's influence and harm.
74. This is what it says
CHaya ,   Bat Yam   (09.05.12)
For more than three decades, Israelis, Palestinians, Arab leaders, and the rest of the world have looked to America to lead the effort to build the road to a secure and lasting peace. Our starting point must always be our special relationship with Israel, grounded in shared interests and shared values, and a clear, strong, fundamental commitment to the security of Israel, our strongest ally in the region and its only established democracy. That commitment, which requires us to ensure that Israel retains a qualitative edge for its national security and its right to self- defense, is all the more important as we contend with growing threats in the region–a strengthened Iran, a chaotic Iraq, the resurgence of Al Qaeda, the reinvigoration of H
75. Obama ully approved their platform
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.06.12)
At the last moment, after three roll calls, the Democrats saw the light & chickened out, Jerusalem, et al was re-inserted into their platform

BEN JABO (ISRAEL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.06.12)
Sorry to break your bubble, Democrats chickened out and restored the platform DecmocRATS will lose this elections, sure as your name is NOT Steve Benassi & that your address is a fake
