1. Correction: Feinstein is NOT a Jewess
Leon   (01.20.14)
Only her name sounds it, but she's a goya. The rest are just the usual lefty-loonies, descendants of jews, true, but hardly Jews anymore themselves.
2. Do Jews need
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (01.20.14)
another war?
3. Pretty much the same as in the 30s and 40s
Alan ,   SA   (01.20.14)
4. Jewish Democratic senators
Eli ,   Haifa, Israel.   (01.20.14)
After all why should they not put THEIR country interests first, its what senators do and were elected to do.Its crazy to expect them to do otherwise.
5. To # 4
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (01.20.14)
Dear Eli, what you say is that they owe nothing to their Jewishness, that they are simply USA citizens with no real connection to Israel, is that so? Because in that case, more than half of the North American Jews should stop calling themselves Jews!
6. Depraved Opportunists
Zechariah   (01.20.14)
Not so recently a book was published about Jewish Hollywood Moguls making profits by not having Jewish looking Persons in Nazi occupied Europe till at least December 1941 .A war ought be avoided to the Last Resort but the USA needs to Watch Iran .A tough stance now will stop Venuzuala and even Mexico getting nukes which would lead to a Massive Preemptive USA strike without doubt .
7. #4 Eli
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (01.20.14)
In the long run by confronting Iran IS putting United States interests first. By not doing so is short-sighted and shooting themselves in the foot. Leave it to Obama!
8. reminds us of leftwing jews' actions during the shoa
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (01.20.14)
also back then they choose to be 'liked' over the lives of their families! As long as they can be petted on the head by the amalek
9. #4 answer
(01.20.14)
Because the Israeli Left continuously says that their ideological counterparts in foreign countries, especially Leftist American Jews, support Israel despite the evidence that the Leftist Americans (especially Jews) are hostile to Israel.
10. # 2 Arabs HAVE wars Israel HAS peace.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.20.14)
KEEP BUILDING !!!!
11. More nonsense
Daniel   (01.20.14)
It's a shame that Ynet continues to provide space to Ms Houring, an extreme right-winger who cares as little about Israelis as about American Jews. Her vision is of a Glorious Great Israel, and if ordinary Israelis have to suffer to achieve that, well, too bad for them. Ms Houring won't take any part in the suffering, she refuses to live in Israel. As for American Jews, around 80% of them regularly vote for the Democratic party that Ms Houring dislikes as much as she seems to dislike ordinary people in Israel.
12. USA is disengagement from Middle East
miguel rodriguez ,   Puerto Rico, USA   (01.20.14)
This is a reality check: USA is in a disengagement process from the Middle East. Israel is located in the Middle East. Never expect that a member of US Congress promote or vote for a policy that is against the national interest of the USA. If you need examples just look around: Panama, Egypt, Iran, etc In addiction your Prime Minister is in a political campaign against President Obama.
13. Thank God for American sanity
Avramele   (01.20.14)
A large percentage of Israelis, elites and common folk, are happy that rockets will not be pouring down on Israeli cities in response to Bibi's dubious military adventure.
14. US Congress Can Not Turn War Powers Over To Israel
World Citizen ,   the world   (01.20.14)
The idea behind this bill was to force the US president to go to war with Iran if Israel decided to strike Iran unilaterally. Try as they might AIPAC and their minions in Congress will not be allowed to let Israel dictate to the American people when and who they will declare war on. The Israeli government must understand that the American people are sick of fighting proxy wars for Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. Either Israel learns to use diplomacy or it goes it alone. The sad thing is the people of Israel don't even get to decide. The rightwing Jews in the USA, who don't even live in Israel, seem to be the ones putting your lives in danger. That's right. Iran is not toothless. Do you think that Israel is the only one with weapons? War is a two way street.
15. The 'Jewish' members of congress fear Obama
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (01.20.14)
More then G-D they would lick his shoes if ordered,They are not friends of Israel.As far as Feinstein she has a long history of anti Israel remarks.She was born to a Jewish Polish Father and Russian orthodox Mother.She went 12 yrs to Russian Orthodox School.As far as Boxer she's just plain dumb
16. @ 5
sheik rattle & roll ,   usa   (01.20.14)
You don't get it. American Jews are American. Most have no connection to Israel what so ever. An American congressmen or women can vote in any direction, however you fail to understand that religion plays a very little part in American society. It's all about America's interest and if a congressman or women votes a certain way, it is based on American interest and not his religious interest. If you think voting for Israel is a given because his/her religion is Jewish, then you don't understand America and the American way. Religion should never be a part of government and Americans despise politics and religion commingling, it cuts to the core of our beliefs in freedom of religion.
17. # 5
Eli ,   Haifa, Israel.   (01.20.14)
Judiasm is a religion and NOT a nationality despite some political definitions. There is no logical reason why ones religion should dictate ones loyality to another country.I realise that if you dont believe in the separation of religion from state then you shall never agree.
18. Anyone supporting Muslim Obama is an unpatriotic American
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.20.14)
19. Jewish Democrats......?
Gideon Reader   (01.20.14)
...Despicable. An entire second generation of Jewish automaton leftist Obamabots, reflexively lurching to the hard left and supportive pf anti-Israel policy on EVERY issue. Shameful. Honorless. Craven. Beneath comtempt.
20. Eli #17: Jews are a nation, a people and a religion.
Steve   (01.20.14)
Eli, Jews have learned this hard lesson (especially in Germany and Europe in the last century), we MUST be Jews first. There is nothing inherently seditious about the Jewish faith, unlike other religious traditions. We are loyal citizens. But we must do what is right (for religious Jews, what God would have them do) before our loyalties to anything or anyone else. That is the First Commandment (or the Second?), "You shall have no other gods before Me." That would include country. It is not seditious. That is what it means to be a Jew.
21. Democratic party is the "party of Obama.."
Steve   (01.20.14)
But to be fair, as forty three year Republican, George W. Bush (when he sold out Israel to the Saudis and made a Palestinian state a formal goal of my / our party) he left a stain on the Republican party. Notwithstanding what Bush did, Republicans circled the wagons around him and his terrible policies with respect to Israel, just as Democrats and Jewish Democrats are doing for Obama.
22. Thank You Sheik Rattle and Roll # 16
James Loughton ,   USA   (01.20.14)
For an excellent statement of the American ethos. When one accepts American citizenship, he or she is expected to give up allegiance to all other countries, period.
23. Jewish Americans must be loyal to America
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (01.20.14)
It's astonishing to me how Israeli's believe that Jewish Americans should be more loyal to Israel than to their own country. Jonathan Pollard was more loyal to Israel and deserves to rot in prison for the damage he did to our country. He caused many Americans to look at Jewish Americans as being more loyal to Israel and has made us more suspect in the eyes of many. I was born and raised in America as were my parents, and my grandparents fled persecution in Russia and Austria to come to America. This is my country, not Israel or any other, and I expect my Congressmen, my senators, and my President to do what is in the best interests of America, not Israel, and to suggest anything else is repulsive. Do Israeli's expect the members of the Knesset to to do what's best for Britain, France, Germany, or America? Don't think so.
24. "I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world!"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.20.14)
..."Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness!"
25. Majority of American Jews will support war against I srael
Tomas ,   NY   (01.20.14)
Majority of American Jews will support war against Israel if Democratic party demands it. They are probably the most hated group in USA and they deserve it. Israel should never trust them
26. Jewish in name only
Tampa Louie ,   Tampa, Florida, USA   (01.20.14)
What else can you expect from those Jewish-in-name-only--JINOs--senators
27. I love it! It is not US of israel.
Jim   (01.20.14)
28. Moral Cowards
Howard ,   Seattle USA   (01.20.14)
How ironic that Christian Republicans are supporting Israel and Jewish Democrats are throwing Israel under the bus and behaving like court Jews so that they don't upset Barrak Hussein.They are so typical of the average American Jew who gave him considerable financial support and voted overwhelmingly not once but twice to put and keep Obama in office.
29. Sadly Tomas (25) maybe a grain of truth in what you wrote
Steve   (01.20.14)
I cannot say Americans Jews are probably 'the most hated group' in the U.S., though there is much truth to the notion American Jews are more and more placing their loyalties to their political party, their president and / or their ideology before they / we are Jews. I noted above this trend is VERY dangerous.
30. "it seems the iranians do not fear obama"
CJK   (01.20.14)
no one fears the self obsessed, pro-muslim obama. the only ones who fear him and who lick his boots are the american press and american jews. even israel's leadership has come to its senses and has told kerry and the eu to take a hike. the jews in the us congress who are supporting obama regarding iran will be responsible for the fact that the shia terror regime will become a nuclear power. a nuclear iran will be a direct threat to world peace and to the national security of the united states.
