Any American of any background knows that votes go to whomever will better manage the economy. President Obama said that if he can't manage the economy, he will be a one term president. Then he went back on his word!

A picture is worth 1000 words: "'Obama feels very comfortable around Jews and Judaism' Photo: AFP"

And the democrats Jews mostly support the people who captured State of Israel in 7century and since then they did not let Jews come back to their historic land and for this reason I will vote for republican because they support undivided able State of Israel. Yes I am Jewish American but I always remember what did happen to European Jews too. Israel is my promise land and this the only State that can protect the entire Jews all around the world. Go Romney.

NO, Mr. Kurtzer, you are entirely wrong. There is a vast proportion of American Jewry that understands the history of the confict with the Arabs, and who are PROUD of Israel for many reasons. The only shame I feel is to have weak, limp wristed matza ball-less jews making ridiculous statements about American Jewish shame regarding Israel. You shoud get a real job, Mr. Kurtzer, because from where I sit, the only thing you do is to create worthless ideas about ther people, because you are really ashamed of yourself!

Two things about this article: I don't feel an ounce of shame for the "occupation". It is the arabs who are occupying land in Israel. And second, if you can't se what a turd Obama has been to Israel, you are not muchof a Zionist.

Look it up. "Obama feels very comfortable around Jews and Judaism" ? Right - just look at that picture of Michelle and Barack. They look like they can't wait for the party to be over.

At least 75% of the responsibility of the state of relations between Obama and Bibi lies on Bibi's shoulders

Ersats "Sarahs", who comfortably from their chairs in Brooklin advocate the One State solution are the dangerous ones. Most of US Jews are now aware that Israeli right is driving the country to the abyss and they are leat leat distancing themselves from Israeli policies. The dangerous lie with Ersats Sarahs that preach the end of the Jewish State by means of incorporating millions of Arabs in our midst. Time for US Jews help us, decent Israelis, to dissociate us from Palestinians by negotiating and giving them their State. Time to recognize that they have a leadership that can govern them and leave us alone, in respect and dignity. Ersatz Sarahs, who never served the army, who never drained a swamp, has no right to mess in our businesses.

persecuted her Jews? Not on the state level, perhaps, as what happened in Nazi Germany, but in individual cases and places, Americans have attacked Jews for being Jews since the early 1800s. Even George Washington addressed this attitude, as did Mark Twain and others. Most of Hollywood original actors and producers were Jews and if they were not being persecuted, why did so many of them change their names to more Anglicized versions? If Jews were not persecuted, harassed and assaulted, why did Leo Frank die at the hands of a Georgia lynch mob? If Jews were openly allowed to live as Jews why weren't my grandparents able to buy a house or land in the US when they had the money to afford either one in the 1950s? Mr. Kurtzer may be a "Jewish scholar," but his American history education is seriously lacking as is his knowledge of the history of racism in the US.

Speak for yourself.....this American Jew stands behind and supports Israel wholeheartedly! G-d bless Israel!

They are assimilating and intermarrying at rapid rates, and will be gone soon anyway.

support Israel. What they ashamed of is those kartziot who claim to represent them.

The USA and many Gallus Jews are not in the line fire less even than the Haredim even the Arabs who see the convulsions in the Islam world and some prefer peace.They ought be better Treated .

The Arabs are Occupiers of most of the middle east with a capital O! I wish Professor K would stop being so divisive and try to unite us. Storms are created by speech and we here in NY are still coming out of the biggest one ever, please Professor K let us be...

This rabbi is nuts.. Gets attention by writing his ultra lib message.. Just a load of BS He should pray for Israel instead of undermining it!

I find the more religious you are the more Republican you are. It is the assimilated you are the more democrat you vote.

With such lunatics as Ovadia Yosef and his ilk its no wonder US jewry is distancing its self from israel. That man makes us ashamed to be Jewish.
