This report is encouraging... Now only if these Jews can be convinced as to the real nature of Obama we may have a chance at unseating the clown who sits in the oval orifice.

Overwhelming majority of U.S. Jews pro-Israel, says Luntz poll

A new poll of American Jewish opinion conducted by Luntz Global for the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) has found that more than three-quarters of American Jews—78 percent—regard it as being “very to 100 percent necessary” for Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

A further 77 percent believe that Palestinian incitement against Israel—its “culture of hatred”—is a major obstacle to peace. In other results, the poll also showed that 77 percent of American Jews say Israel should “refuse to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority until Hamas renounces terrorism and officially recognizes Israel’s right to exist.”

An overwhelming 85 percent said that Israel is “right to take threats to its existence seriously,” and that Israel’s concerns are not irrational or overstated. Eighty-four percent of American Jews also believe that the Israeli government is committed to establishing genuine peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Also, 94 percent of respondents said that if Israel “no longer existed tomorrow,” they would feel that was a tragedy, with nearly one in four saying they would consider such an event to be the “biggest tragedy of my lifetime.” (Jordana Horn, “U.S. Jews strongly support Israel, new poll shows,” Jerusalem Post, May 23, 2011).

These results are consistent with earlier polling. For example, last year’s American Jewish Committee Fall Survey found that an overwhelming majority (76 percent) of American Jews believe that “The goal of the Arabs is not the return of occupied territories but rather the destruction of Israel.” An even larger, almost wall-to-wall majority of American Jews (95 percent) support the proposal that the Palestinians must recognize Israel as a Jewish state in a final peace agreement. Fewer than half of American Jews favor the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Morton A. Klein, national president of the conservative-leaning Zionist Organization of America, said, “This recent survey demonstrates that American Jews understand the intention of Arab regimes to eliminate Israel. This explains their increasing opposition to further Israeli concessions being made to them.

“If three-quarters of American Jewry believe that the Arabs seek to destroy Israel; that their recognition of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state is a prerequisite for a genuine peace; that Palestinian incitement to hatred and murder against Jews is a major stumbling block impeding the possibility of peace, then clearly those like extreme left-wing J Street and Peter Beinart, who assert that they represent the position of the silent majority of American Jews and that American Jewish support for Israel is fraying, are wrong.”

Of course I dont even believe in the premise that there are 'palestinians' and I severely doubt the arabs of the region can live peacefully with Jews... But I am on the far-right when it comes to this issue...

Sure, they would feel very sorry. But in the meantime, most of them vote for Obama and give their money to Obama, that is, to a man who wants to lead Israel to a disaster.
They also felt sorry for the European jewry that was exterminated during WWII. But did they do everything they could to try to prevent the Shoah ? Far from it. Today they are sorry and they visit Yad Vashem.
It is not enough to express a bond to Israel. If you support an ennemy of Israel, you are de facto an ennemy of Israel, whatever your intentions or your feelings may be.
