what is new oil and arabs=jewishblood
32. Israel heed Barack HUSSEIN Obama?
James Lee Padgett ,   Monterey Park   (03.13.10)
If it does, the most appropriate words to describe the Israeli government are - naive, foolish, gullibe, and masochistic. Don't let this Muslim president (approved of by less than 1/2 the American people) coerce you into doing that which is foolish and unwise!
33. No surprise
Jack Ariston ,   Fort Lauderdale, USA   (03.13.10)
It's about time US stands up to it's own interests in the area which are peace with Arabs and other countries in the area. Most people I know are pleasantly surprised by justified criticism of one sided Israeli polices which make US a villain in Muslim countries.
34. ADL will suffer
Reality Check ,   USA   (03.13.10)
as will all Americans. Obama invites the wrath of hasem. J Street is funded by Arab$

Ben ,   Boston, MA   (03.13.10)
Show the Jews that they must obey me, and I don't want them, because they are Jewish, to live in Jerusalem, a city in which al-Aqsa Musque has been standing since time immemorial, since before Islam was proclaimed by Muhammad, may his name be of blessing, in the 7th century.
36. Being anti-Jewish racist is just a racist, it is simply an
John J. Dunn ,   Seattle, WA USA   (03.13.10)
anti-Jewish one, and Clinton and Obama can count themselves in that category. How else would anyone explain their demand that Jews and only Jews not reside in certain places on this god given good earth?
37. It's long past time
Michael ,   San Francisco, USA   (03.13.10)
for liberal Democratic American Jews to recognize that the Democratic party is not a friend to Israel or the Jewish people. I was a Dem. I voted for Barack, but this is it. No one has the right to tell Israel where Jews may, or may not, live within the capital of the Jewish state. I am through with the Democratic Party and I am through with Barack Obama.
38. FAKE FIGHTS TO KEEP PUBLIC BUSY WHILE THE CONSTRUSTION ...
...KEEPS GOING ... ,   ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (03.13.10)
FAKE MEANS ; BOTH PARTIES DO FIGHT FAKE, KNOWINGLY.
39. when will American Jews understand who their friends are?
Mehan   (03.13.10)
Lacking "emotional intelligence" Jewish Americans continue to prefer the abortion parties - but these fascistoid leftists are now openly turning on Israel.
40. Words have changed- the meaning the same
Raoul Brami ,   IL   (03.13.10)
Jew, Jewish and Juden have been replaced by Israel, Israelis and are now common usage. They all hate us as they always did since rome. Jew is perhaps no longer PC so they use Israel instead. Chock on it; We are here in our liberated home and we are no longer someone else s**t
41. well said
gg ,   israel   (03.13.10)
nicely said, but tell me, why is it called j street and not p street
42. Give up your Judaism
David ,   Shilo Israel   (03.13.10)
J Street , moderate Jew and all other friends of Israel that would gladly stab us in the back....get a 'real' life. You haven't got the faintest idea what it is to be a real Jew. If you feel more American than Jewish, that's alright, you can give up your Jewish identity and just consider yourself American. The shame is that foreigners are misled into thinking that your watered down version of an already zero-based form of worship, is representative of Judaism, and by extension your voice represents that of Israel. Well you don't. Do us all a favor and give up your Judaism so that you can be recognized as the enemies of Israel you really are. There is a chance that your soul might want to be part of its people, if so then quickly find out where you truly belong. If you're a true Jew, you pray towards Jerusalem, that includes the area surrounding the Kotel, which a foreign government wants to give away as a reward for terrorism. For our genuine Jewish and non-Jewish friends in the USA - G-d Bless!
43. J street
(03.13.10)
J street is a fake organization set-up by Emanuel Rahm.
44. Let palestinians build inside Israel
David ,   USA   (03.13.10)
I laugh at you idiots who call this "racism". If Israel wants to cross the Green Line and build on Palestinian lands. Then let the Palestinians cross the border into Israel and build homes inside of Israel as well. Fair is fair.
45. Foxman move to Israel
American ,   USA   (03.13.10)
Who does Foxman work for anyway? Let him go live in Israel is he is so concerned about them.
46. Having set on the fence, I have concluded: The Democrats
Fred ,   Minneapolis, MN USA   (03.13.10)
have lost my vote and money. Enough is enough to try to humiliate the democratically elected government of Israel, and for what, for the fact that a municipal department announced that Jews will live in a few years in a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem. I don't believe for a moment this is Clinton's work. I am convinced Obama is fully behind this attempt to humiliate the prime minster of an allied state of the U.S. No more, Democrats, my place and money is no longer with you.
47. radicals jews
Y.R. Ulate ,   Los Angeles   (03.13.10)
settlers are radical jews and operate semi-independently from the state of israel... most are well-armed militias.... some people try to legitimize their egregious actions by declaring it "anti-semitic" to prevent people from living where they wish. if that were the case, i would wholeheartedly agree. but in this case, israeli settlers are annexing land and declaring their sovereignty over it, imposing israeli law, jewish law over that piece of land. this is called colonialism. it is illegal occupation..... can you imagine if hundreds of thousands of well-armed militant palestinians marched into sovereign israeli territory and announced they were building thousands of new homes??? i'd love to hear your reaction to that last question.... a bunch of spineless hypocrites. and for those of you who think Obama is a muslim, think again.... he just happens to be an intelligent person with enough courage and determination to fight through the spell you have cast over our congress.... ISRAEL is destroying AMERICA.... wake up, America.. WAKE UP!
48. Proud to be American, Proud of my president Whoever he is...
ace ,   san fran ca   (03.13.10)
49. ----JEWS SHOULD NEVER GIVE MONEY TO THE DEMOCRATS------
(03.13.10)
50. Greengo's GO HOME.. dont mess with ISRAEL
Isaac ,   Israel   (03.13.10)
Who invite the Americans and the worst USA government in the history to put her nose inside our home land HOLLY ISRAEL?? You don’t know how to manage your own country, every place you are in is a disaster IRAQ, Afghanistan… did you remember the great job you did in Vietnam ??? We have our personality and goals, get out your nose out of our home, for us you are disposable also if needed!!! CAPISH !!!!!!
51. American Jews should be American, not Israeli or Zionists..
ace ,   san fran   (03.13.10)
52. J Street a Jewish organization???
Rosie   (03.13.10)
Come on!!! J Street is the tool of Obama, Soros and moveon.org to put pressure (screw) on Israel.
53. Thank Penny Pritzker
Dan ,   USA   (03.13.10)
Liberal Jews, an oxymoron, are a prime reason the Muslim Obama is President. Their collective guilt enabled them to finance and overwhelmingly vote for a man because he was black and a Democrat., without caring or knowing one other thing about him. To their shame, I would bet in 2012 they will do it again.
54. Lines of settlements: Back to Europe, 1930's
dan ,   canada   (03.13.10)
I still remember history. I stil remember, how pogroms swiped through jewish settlements in europe. I still remember "Kav HaShvut"- where jews had been told where to live, and where this is forbidden. I remember Nazis I remember antisemtic governments of all Europe. I read Erich Maria Remark in "Triumphal Arc" describing Jews trying to flea to US and drawn back to concentration camps by all our fellows European Union governments. Anti-semits are still alive. So we are too. Fight continues. Nothing new.
55. ADL true colors not red, white & blue
david ,   La Mesa   (03.13.10)
Another embarrassing but revealing gaffe by rabbi Foxman, doing more harm than good to Jewish interests. ON the other hand, it is J-Street that is better at representing Jews positively and in a sane and responsible manner. Every incident like this ungrateful slap in America's face, goes into the books and will long be remembered.
56. J Street, Obama's puddle ?
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (03.13.10)
Or at the contrary ? But the result is the same
57. 40
Rosie   (03.13.10)
Well said!
58. #42 - No true scotsman
P ,   Philadelphia   (03.13.10)
Stop telling Jews who to be. Just because you've confused being Jewish with being Zionist doesn't mean every Jew has (or should). There is a place in the world for people beyond ancient superstitions and jingiost us-versus-them crap. Not every Jew will remain religious, and many have decided not to place their heart with Israel. This doesn't make them any less Jewish or any less human. Moreso, by failing to push for real peace, they're actually endangering the world, Israelis, Palestinians, and humanity.
59. adl speaks for
bri ,   phil usa   (03.14.10)
5,275,000 jews in america to support 5,313,800 jews in israel.
60. To #59 bri
Baruch ,   Israel   (03.14.10)
If you would count American Jews by those who are halachically Jewish there are probably no more than 4.5 million, with the number decreasing every day. The future of our People is in Israel.
