1. A very stupid article
David ,   New york   (12.08.15)
Clearly the author have absolutely no understanding about what the Democratic Party in the US has become and the great damage they are doing to the safety of the west (as well as to Israel) Clinton would be a catastrophe Any republican would be better I'm hoping for trump
2. Republican candidates are infinitely better!
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.08.15)
Ted Cruz has fought hard for Israel and America many times. It was he who slammed Obama for ending flights to Israel over the war with Hamas. Cruz's support for Israel is ideological and not a mere sop for votes. There is nobody, on the Democrat side, who is remotely comparable. While Cruz may not end up being the Republican nominee, Republican candidates, in general, are far more loyal towards both Israel and America than their Democrat opponents.
3. Democratic presidents have proven to be very bad for Israel
Reuven   (12.08.15)
and Republican presidents have proven to be good for Israel (Bush, Reagan).
4. US election
Kate ,   Atlanta   (12.08.15)
If anyone in Israel has to wonder if a democract president is as good for you as a Republican, then you deserve to find out.
5. Any republican candidate better
Benji ,   US   (12.08.15)
Hillary is a walking potential disaster and mimics Obama. She looks the American people in the eye and lies to them. She can't even say radical Islam. Did you ever see Hillary lift a finger to improve relations with Israel? She did squat. We've had enough! The other two democratic candidates aren't worth mentioning. Trump, Cruz and Rubio can get this country back on track and will attract independent voters. All republican candidates have acknowledged support for Israel.
6. another stupid naive leftist waste of electrons

8. No difference, they all believe in the prevailing myths.
Murray the K ,   Brooklyn, NY   (12.08.15)
For instance there is no evidence, not a single dead body, no autopsies, no medical reports, no ballistics, no debris, no detritus, nothing exists for the Paris or CA attacks yet all candidates accept the narrative without question.
9. Uh, duh? Hillary has to turn right just to keep up.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (12.09.15)
Hmmm. Dems for Israel... Well, Billy gave us Oslo and Obummer shut down Ben Gurion during a war, praises the Muslim Bortherhood and confuses Islamic attack with work place violence. I guess they're all the same. Ho hum.
10. the obvious
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (12.09.15)
It seems obvious to me that the GOP candidates would be better for Israel, especially Rubio. However: Trump seems to be a BIG EGO and a person who could cause much problems in the US. Carson also does not seem to be the man who can talk with out inserting much falsification. On the other hand, the dems have done nothing with intelligent thinking regarding any thing in the ME, so Clinton (who will probably win) won't be so good for Israel unless she gets a new set of eyes and has a brain transplant. Sanders would have been a good president 40 years ago, but his ideas are not in line with the present economic problems facing the US. Basically the few of the front runners who seem to garner the most numbers in the polls seem to be the worst presidential candidate material since Obama.
11. Ask yourself: Who was better Nixon or Cater?

go go   (12.09.15)
13. Even rino republicans would be better.
Brad ,   USA   (12.10.15)
The only thing that wouldn't be better than BO is Clinton on her broom.
14. About this article
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (01.27.16)
Yoaz Hendel: Majority of the responders rejected your contention of your article that the Democratic presidents are good and the Republican presidents are bad for Israel. The recent US president said he will put the daylight between US and Israel, and he did. Do you know who gave the Iran deal? Join Orly Azoulai and both of you should consider to find another profession.
