1. AIPAC is no friend of Israel - supported disengagment
Jews Make ,   Aliyah   (03.02.07)
There is no future for the Jewish people in America nor Europe nor anywhere except Israel. If you hate OLMERT, hate people like Peretz and Bibi getting voted time and time again, COME HERE AND VOTE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Be a man, less bark more bite.
2. He's A Decent Man
Frum American   (03.02.07)
I'll take him any day over Rudy!
3. PEACE: FIGHTING Israel Until LIBERATION is RELIGIOUS BATTLE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.02.07)
Obama, the U.S. EU UN are fully aware that "Fighting Israel until liberation is religious battle of Islam." - "Jihad for Allah." The U.S. EU UN call the War Against the Jews, the peace process and heavily finance, arm and train PLO global jihadists for victory against Israel's Jewish innocents. Palestinian Media Watch Nearly 90% of Palestinian youth deny Israel's right to exist by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook- Feb. 28, 2007 A recent poll of Palestinian children shows a direct correlation between the PA curriculum and Palestinian children's opinions. PMW's newest report on Palestinian Authority schoolbooks warns that because of the PA curriculum, which repeatedly and utterly rejects Israel's right to exist, "The well-meaning (Palestinian) student is left with no logical justification or religious option to accept Israel as a neighbor ..." Among young people ages 18 -25, those who have been most influenced by PA education, an overwhelming number - between 84% - 93% -- denied Israel's right to exist. [http://www.neareastconsulting.com/] This was higher than the overall figure of 75% who denied Israel's right to exist. It should be noted that PA teachings denying Israel's right to exist are endemic throughout PA society and media... From nationalist battle to religious conflict: New 12th Grade Palestinian schoolbooks present a world without Israel February 2007 Written by Itamar Marcus, Director, Palestinian Media Watch Barbara Crook, Associate Director, Palestinian Media Watch With PMW research staff "The Ribat for Allah is one of the actions related to Jihad for Allah, it means: Being found in areas where there is a struggle between Muslims and their enemies... the endurance of Palestine’s people on their land … is one of the greatest of the Ribat and they are worthy of a great reward from Allah."[Islamic Education, grade 12, pp. 86-87] 1.

4. If he is ANYTHING like Hillary
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (03.02.07)
The US supprt of Israel is in trouble.
5. Obama sounds to much like Osama for my taste
Yosef Cohen   (03.02.07)
6. No Thanks obama HUSSEIN
Skippy McKool ,   Placerville, USA   (03.02.07)
I will never vote for a fraud like yourself...correction, a fraud with zero experience GO RUDY !!
7. We May Have A Great Man Here
orly4israel ,   Long Branch, NJ   (03.02.07)
In a world were we cannot trust our politicians to care for the people, there might be a man conscious enough, strong enough, and ballsy enough, to get the job done right. I support Barak Obama
8. Obama like all politicians fear AIPAC.
AR ,   USA   (03.02.07)
9. Obama is for sale, too
RedStarYeast ,   USA   (03.02.07)
Israel, have no fear! Obama will join every other presidential candidate in selling out the Palestinians in exchange for Jewish votes and cash.
10. Someday the American public is going to wake up to the fact
Apartheid ,   Boston USA   (03.02.07)
that candidates for the President of the United States of America have to pledge allegiance to Israel and kowtow before AIPAC in order to be elected.
11. in one word: "hoo i am black, vote for me!"
not like him   (03.02.07)
12. to #10 Apartheid
Goldie ,   new york   (03.02.07)
your name says it all - Jewish voters vote - but Saudi money is what they cherish - those are the real puppeteers behind our leaders. But you keep hating Jews... By the way - Red Sox suck!
13. RUDY GUILIANI UNDERSTANDS JEWS
RCA ,   USA   (03.02.07)
like no other non-JEW in the US political world. Rudy is an established Jewish team player who was great for New York and great for Jews. No man ever did as much good for NY as RUDY. Not even Ed Koch came close, who I admire. He will do great things for the country if given the presidency.
14. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
RCA ,   USA   (03.02.07)
Obama is long on charm and charisma, and short on required technical skills and statesmanship. He has no track record to speak of, and his past is fuzzy in many areas. He came out of nowhere and was thrust on the national stage. He has a documented Islamic past and he has misrepresented the character and his relationship with his father. His inexperience alone is enough for me not to vote for him. RUDY GUILIANI is the GUY for the jOB !
15. Tell it walking Hussein Obama!!!
Katy ,   Los Angeles, CA   (03.02.07)
16. The poor American tay payers
(03.02.07)
The Americans should prepare themselfs (if this one became the new president) that they will go on paying a hell of money and lifes and gets more and more hated from the rest of the world for the eyes of Israel .... the guy hanged the David's star on his neck and started his presidential road ....oldy dirty and boring game .
17. Rudy Giuliani - Still The Best Choice.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.02.07)
18. Rudi for President
Alan ,   SA   (03.02.07)
19. He's Black. He's A Democrat. He's Liberal.
David ,   Marietta USA   (03.02.07)
What other criteria do Jews need when they cast a vote? A paper trail? Character? Proven leadership? Love for country? Respect for the American Military, liberating force of countless millions of oppressed peoples over the past century? A committment to individual freedom, private property, low taxes, non interference by the Federal government, a politcal agenda? A committment to Israel (yeah, right!). I've said it before, I'll say it again. Jews would overwhelmingly vote for a Hitler- Eichmann team, if they called themselves liberal democrats. And they will probably get the chance when the Rodham-Hussein Obama team wins the nomination. The party or Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy is long dead and buried. Most of us Jews just haven't got the brains to figure out that little inconvenient truth.
20. Dems and GOP are the same
(03.02.07)
There's no substantial difference between the two parties. The Democrats have actually started MORE wars than the Republicans.
21. Obama is a wolf in sheep clothing
zionist forever   (03.02.07)
Obama is telling the jewsh public what they want to hear but he can proimise the world because untill he gets into the white house he doesnt have to deliver and once he gets there he can change his mind on every single one of those promises. Obama is no friend to jews and he is certainly no friend to Israel he reminds me of Arafat the way he promises one thing to Israel then goes and tells the arabs actually what I told the jews is a load of C**P I only said it to make them think I was serious about peace and would make more concesions. Obama wants concesions in the form of jewish votes so he will tell them what they want to hear not what he intends to do.
22. YOU'LL GET IT IF YOU'RE HONEST - DONT PANDER !!
andrew ,   Miami,fl   (03.02.07)
23. obama's support for israel
dan kaplan ,   usa   (03.02.07)
rewind back to 1976, when mr. peanut, jimmy carter, was a candidate. he was very strong in his support for israel. be careful what you wish for ... it might come true,
24. It's experience that counts
MichaelF ,   Silver Spring MD USA   (03.02.07)
My only objection to Obama is that he does not yet have the experience to run for President. Two years in the Senate is not enough. He has no record of accomplishment. Obama should look to 2016 or 2020. He's young enough to wait. The only Democratic candidate with the experience to be President is Bill Richardson. The only Republican is John McCain, but at his age (70) he may be a bit too old for the job.
25. Before we get too carried away.
Persian CAT ,   Middle-O-Nowhere   (03.02.07)
Remember Obama is just ANOTHER politician and Mr. Dan Shapiro is there to make sure he "stays the course". I couldn't help noticing that his "ME advisor" is a Jew. That usually means the Jewish suckers and AIPAC are going to here EXACTLY what they want to hear.
26. Obama
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (03.02.07)
The Jewish vote will go Democratic (with the exception of Chabad). It will go Dem automatcally, mindlessly liberal and without any analysis. And also, Jewish women will go Hillary , again automatically, for feminist reasons, again without any analytical thought. However, Jews will support blacks, again automatically, and without any analytical thought, simply because it's the politically correct thing to do. This will be a very very interesting race.
27. Democrat and Liberal
Howard ,   Chicago USA   (03.02.07)
Both terrific reasons to vote against him. Black doesn't matter. Hey, as far as experience is concerned, even Goerge W. Bush still has no successful experience.
28. #6. What's Rudy's "experience", Skippy?
Persian CAT   (03.02.07)
Other than sleeping around?
29. TO 12 from a pal
TOM ,   NYC   (03.03.07)
i don't know what's worse, people like u who's authentic jewish paranoya make them think that if i criticize isrl or the proisraeli lobby in the states then one is anti semite by definition, or ppl who know that we truely don't hate jews, but rather use this as a cheap shot eg AIPAC against those who dare criticize israel like carter......(most of pro isrl support/strenght nowadays comes from the right wing evangelicals wacos by the way, not from jews like it's used to be, jews in the states are becoming rational thinkers, plus ethnic dilution plays a role, so enjoy being in the PAT ROBERTSONS CAMP)
30. Go RUDY!!!!
Nicole ,   Los Angeles, Ca.   (07.06.07)
Rudy Guiliani is top choice for strong supporters of Israel. We must make help win the presidency.
