1. Why are people so surprised?
Shulamit   (02.25.07)
What variety (not exactly a right wing paper) reported Edwards to have said are exactly the sentiments of most Democrats, yet AMerican Jews still think they have friends in the Democratic party.
2. Slip of the Tongue?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.25.07)
Or did what he really think just slip out? Politicians carefully craft their official positions to create an image that they hope will sell. But, everyone is fallible & makes an inadvertent slip. Sometimes it reveals an inconvenient truth. Of course, if politicians would just tell the truth, they wouldn't have this problem.
3. Do not trust the leftist
e.m ,   s.f   (02.25.07)
American Jews should support Rudy Giuliani the only one we can trust for next president of united State of America and real Israelis friend
4. experienced?
I YAM WHAT I YAM   (02.25.07)
Ynet states that Edwards is "by far the least experienced in foreign affairs." Allthough this comment has little to do with the article, never the less ynet should be more careful in tossing in such comments. Edwards was senator for 6 years, obama has been senator for 2. Also, almost all governors have little foreign experience.
5. never trust them Dumbocraps
(02.25.07)
6. So what? Is Israel God? What is it was true?
Palestinian   (02.25.07)
Who cares... I do not understand why Americans have this fear from Israel or Jews! Really surprising!!!
7. That's Right #3.RUDI GIULIANI would be best for Jews &theUS
David ,   Jerusalem   (02.25.07)
8. options on the table
alan ,   frisco   (02.25.07)
Lets call option one the Stennis option two The Eisenhowser option three nuclear powered subs with cruise missles option four, last and least, the UN sanctions with Russia, missile provider to Iran, the wild card and option five the novice Edwards
9. The breck girl Edwards - A misquote?
Johnson ,   USA   (02.25.07)
This guy is a trial lawyer, a politition, and a liberal demoncrap. I doubt it was a misquote. Just spewing the party line, and got busted.
10. #6 Palestinian
mae ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (02.25.07)
Israelis have no fear from America or American Jews- only fear is that the truth gets twisted and all of a sudden- surpirse surprise!- it's Israel's fault that Iran is a scary nuclear power with an insane man at its head!
11. Democrats next stop: LEFT ...FAR LEFT
malcolm   (02.25.07)
The anti-Israel winds amongst the Democrats are blowing. It started with Cindy Sheehan's anti-war/Israel rants and blew clear across US college campuses ( with the help of Saudi money). Momentum built and helped oust the Republicans from Congress. This ain't the Democratic party of Truman & Kennedy folks.
12. Edwards and Kerry-Misquoted?
reality Check ,   BaGolan   (02.25.07)
Edwards is nothing more than a Kerry prtege and subordinate. Kerry is nothing more than an old fashioned surrender flag waving ultra left winger whose goal is to have civilized states surrender to Islamofascism. The comments they have made regarding the soldiers in Iraq, and their overt concern for Iran (as shown in Davos) says it all. A misquote? Probably not
13. GUILIANI UNDERSTANDS JEWS !!
RCA ,   USA   (02.25.07)
He says what he means, and does what he says. Rare in a politician ! A highly effective leader with a winning track record , natural talent and the common touch, he cleaned up NewYork, reversed its downward spiral, brought back safety, investment and prosperity along with the glitz. What more could we ask for in a leader ? RUDY IS AMONG THE GREATS !
14. Give Him the Carter Treatment
Joaqin Nin ,   Hong Kong, PRC   (02.25.07)
What are you guys waiting for?! Call in the big guns to deal with this fellow once and for all. Yes, launch Abe Foxman to declare Edwards the latest anti-semite? It's all so predicable (and laughable) these days anyway...
15. Liar
Jo ,   USA   (02.25.07)
Double talking politicians always deny what they have said, even if it is on tape and there are a thousand witnesses. Edwards aspires to be president, but he is toast.
16. he is right-he said in the short term only in the short term
avraham ,   jerusalem   (02.25.07)
17. He has lost my support, BECAUSE he's denied the statement.
Sheila Rubinstein ,   Studio City, CA   (02.25.07)
It is axiomatic that the greatest threat to world peace is Israel's delusional hysteria over Iran's peaceful and justified nuclear energy program. While Israel's nuclear arsenal reportedly includes over 200 atomic bombs, Iran has not even one, and from numerous verbal and written assertions, Iran does not intend to have more than none. Edwards has lost my support because of his lack of courage to acknowledge the frighteningly manifest reality of our world today.
18. Man Of The People?
Neal ,   NJ,USA   (02.25.07)
John Edwards claims the liberal left wing mantra of being for the working guy. He is/was a successful Trial Lawyer He is currently building the largest house in the county where he lives He talks out of both sides of mouth in order to get elected.
19. So, an Iranian attack on Israel is a lesser threat to peace?
Jake   (02.26.07)
Really,this guy has his head screwed on the wrong way round. But in the end of the day, it doesn't matter, he's laughing. He can say whatever he likes. 90% of the American Jews will go like sheep and vote for the Democrats.
20. He Will Be A Natural As Hussein Obama's VP. Love The Hair
David ,   Marietta USA   (02.26.07)
Then again, Jimmy Carter would make a great VP for President Hitlery. Why Jews vote for these liberal aberrations in droves is totally beyond my comprehension!
21. Sheila #17, The KKK Isn't Going To Hire You
David ,   Marietta USA   (02.26.07)
Neither is Hillery, nor Edwards, nor Al "Global Warming" Gore, nor anyone on the faculty at Berkley. You might try the Kremlin, however. Just tell them your relatives were good friends of Julius and Ethel Greenglass. All together now: "War Is Not The Answer" or if you can't remember all those tricky words: "Bush Lied" might be easier for you.
22. 17 - Sheila Rubinstein, the new version of Ellen Prescott?
Tahl ,   Israel   (02.26.07)
"Israel's delusional hysteria over Iran's peaceful and justified nuclear energy program" This sentence clearly indicates what a poor, misguided, stupid, self-hating Jew, and self-hating American you are. I think that lunatic "rabbi" of Neturei Karta who visited and kissed Ahmadinejad, would be happy to employ you as a spokeswoman. And actually, I wouldn't be too surprised if this is "Ellen Prescott" under a new name...
23. #17...who will you support???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.27.07)
You will eventaully find that there is no one who shares your views and then who will you vote for? We all know that Iran is a terror supporting nation, right? Do you deny this fact? So if a terror supporting nation has nukes....well, you put 2 and 2 together and you see why people are concerned. If you still can't figure it out, then your hopeless.
