Apparently Obama is not anti-Israel or anti-Jewish enough for the self-hating majority of Jews in America. This makes be really wonder if the people who identify as American Jews are really Jewish because I find it hard to believe such a people who are supposed to be smart, and are supposed to care about the welfare of their own people, could vote with such utter disregard for the welfare of the Jewish state.
An administration who is openly hostile toward the government of Israel and it's people, who accept every terrorist action against Israel and deny Israel the right to defend itself, an administration which calls the PM names and treats him like dirt... How could the Jewish Americans look at themselves in the mirror. Are 68% of American Jews self-haters who only care about what the gentiles think? There is some severe mental illness going on with American Jewry.
I had made a comment to my Rabbi last Shabbat (before the elections) hoping that the Jewish community would give up its blind idol worship of a party which has repeatedly acted in the worst interest of Jews and the Jewish state. My rabbi appeared to share my hope that the Obama administration would be wiped from the face of the earth, and this gave me hope...
But today I see the results... I am ashamed of my people, severely ashamed to be an American Jew.
Self-hating and demonic...
68% of these mongrel Jews voted democrat and they support the sick policies of this Jew hating president...
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/187093#.VFqZ_3XhNoUAmerican Jewish voters are still largely Democrats, according to a poll by far-left lobbying group J-Street - despite the Democratic party's tendency to support pro-Palestinian views.
The survey, of 800 Jewish voters who cast a ballot in Tuesday's midterm congressional elections, showed that voters favored Democrats over Republicans by a landslide 69%-28% margin.
Likewise, they have higher opinions of US President Barack Obama than most of the public, with 57% of respondents approving of Obama's presidency thus far, versus the 42% national average. However, the approval rating is still higher for Binyamin Netanyahu - who gained a 61/100 score on a definitive ranking of political personalities, vs. 49/100 for Obama.
Predictably, 59% of respondents defined themselves as "Democrats," with an additional 9% saying they "lean" Democratic. Just 15% defined themselves as "Republican" and a meager 6% "leaned Republican."
The numbers were slightly different between "conservative" voters and "liberal" voters, at 19% and 36%, respectively. 36% defined themselves as "moderate" and 9% as "progressive."
Regarding Israel-related issues themselves, the results largely reflected leftist politics in the US, with high percentages of respondents against Israeli sovereignty in Judea-Samaria, supporting a Palestinian state, and supporting greater US involvement in peace talks.
Respondents had relatively moderate views of Israel's presence in Judea-Samaria, however. While the US State Department, under the Obama administration has explicitly deemed "settlement activity" behind 1949 Armistice Lines as "illegitimate," only 28% of those polled said Israel should withdraw from the region, while the majority - 52% - said that it should only withdraw outside "core settlement blocs."
Surprisingly, despite the left-leaning audience, 20% still said that Israel should continue to build in Judea-Samaria.
Operation Protective Edge in Gaza, however, garnered overwhelming support, with 80% saying they approved of the military campaign.
Most respondents supported the State Department's active meddling in peace talks, with 85% affirming that they support an "active" American role in Israeli-Palestinian relations. 73% said they supported US pressure "on both sides" of the conflict. Tempering that, just 47% would approve of the US pressuring Israel to make concessions for peace. 80% total supported a "two-state solution."
The top two issues, according to poll respondents, important to American Jews in casting their votes Tuesday were the economy (44%) and health care (31%). Terrorism was cited as a top issue by 17%, ISIS by 13%, and Israel at only 8%. Additionally, only 10% of respondents listed education as one of their top two primary concerns.
The poll shows that while Republicans invariably predict a seismic shift in Jewish voting patterns, it usually fails to materialize:
Interestingly, the voting percentages of Jews in Tuesday’s midterm elections resemble closely those of the 2012 presidential election, despite Republican predictions of a shift in Jewish voting patters.
If Hillary Clinton was the Democratic candidate for president in 2016, the poll suggests no drastic changes and that Clinton would beat potential Republican candidates - former Florida governor Jeb Bush by 69% to 24% and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul 71% to 22%.
Perhaps the most unexpected result of the poll is Jewish support for a nuclear agreement with Iran. 84% of American Jews said they would strongly, or somewhat, support a deal restricting uranium enrichment to civilian purposes and placing inspectors at Iran’s nuclear facilities in exchange for the removal or reduction of sanctions.
