I don't disagree with you about those three… However, Lumish' article is a broad swipe at 70% of American Jews and our President. It is not about a few outliers who are nuts.

My problem is not so much with the President, my problem is about freaks like Butler, Chomsky, Finkelstein. They're a disgrace, no less.

And why did his State Department say this in regards to Israel today:

""We support Israel's right to defend itself, and we encourage Israel to continue to take every effort to avoid civilian casualties," US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement on Wednesday.

"We strongly condemn the barrage of rocket fire from Gaza into southern Israel, and we regret the death and injury of innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians caused by the ensuing violence," he added.

I guess he shows his love for them by supporting Israel's right to self defense. Oh, that and by drone strikes against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Just ask them how much the President "supports" radical Islam.

If the President support Islam over Israel, why then did over 70% of Jewish Americans vote for him? Go Jon!!

God is helping the destroyer, He put him there for a reason.
The fools who voted for him will rue that fateful day.
Hell is coming to America and to you.

The wicked shall be turned into hell,And all the nations that forget God.
Psalm 9:17

'He makes nations great, and destroys them…..
24 He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
They grope in the dark without light,And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.'
Job 12

LOL despair after us all you like. He is certainly not anti-Israel in any way shape or form unlessby the term "anti-Israel" you mean fully funding Israel's Missile Defense System, increasing security cooperation to record levels, giving Israel a Patriot Battery to protect Haifa, supporting Israel in the U.N. against Palestinian unilateral statehood moves, or being called an exceptional friend of Israel by President Peres or DM Barak. If that is what you mean then sure… call him that.

Oh and as for "supporting Radical Islam".. you must also mean our Republican Party and Mitt Romney since they said that they straight up supported President Obama and agreed with his decisions on Egypt. The Links are up above for you to see for yourself.

Now I understand that the crazy Right Wing would have their "mouths hanging open" regarding our votes in the last election. I mean why wouldn't you guys be stunned that we voted against a party that called Rape "part of G-d's plan", or said that women's bodies had some mechanism to shut down pregnancy from Rape, or planned to turn our Seniors health care into a voucher system, or promised to de-fund education, environmental protection, and business regulatory regimes ALL while cutting taxes for the richest Americans at the expense of everyone else. Gosh, I can't believe that we would vote against those brilliant policies.

Don't make me laugh with your comment about American Jews.

Those of us in the Diaspora despair of you. We are horrified of your support of the Left and as to Obama..well? Words fail us. Our mouths are still open after such a dreadful election result. G-d help us all.

The man has question marks galore surrounding him, which one day hopefully will be answered.

He is decidedly pro-Arab/Muslim and anti Israel. Everything he has done and no doubt will keep on doing shows that to be true. My G-d he has shown time and time again that he supports radical Islam, are you blind.

It's a stupid question framed in a ridiculous manner meant through hyperbole to smear the group of people who support the Israeli Center and Center Left (in other words: Meretz, Avodah, what's left of Kadima, Yesh Atid and whatever the heck Tzipi Livni is doing), not to mention 70% of American Jews.
