But even if you do actually believe such a silly media line from the politically-correct, Saddam-has-WMDs corporate media, wouldn't it still be appropriate for America to give orders under the threat of withdrawing $3 billion a year in military aid?

Good deal or bad deal, there's no doubt that he's far more pro-Zionist than pro-Iranian." That's his story, and he's sticking to it.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Obama anti-israel policies are something that jews did to themselves.

It looks like Bill Clinton picked two Jews, both liberal, so perhaps Bill gets credit for the first black president and the first Jewish president?<br /><br />People used to be afraid of Catholics running for President because he might take orders from the Pope, and so John Kennedy was the first Catholic (and only) I think. But now we have 6 of 9 of the supreme court Catholic! Wow!<br /><br />Maybe Obama will be the bridge to the first Woman president OR the first Jewish president (or both!), but will she or he be conservative or liberal?<br /><br />What if we have a liberal Jewish president who was merely neutral on Israel or Zionism? How could Israel handle that humiliation?<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States#Membership<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Graph_of_Bailey_Scores_of_Supreme_Court_Justices_1950-2011.png<br />Conservative:<br />Antonin Scalia - Catholic, b.1950<br />Clarence Thomas - Catholic, b.1948<br />John Roberts - Catholic, b.1955<br />Samuel A.

May I ask why you believe it?"<br /><br />Obama couldn't have risen so high so fast without key support of prominent Jews in the academia, media, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, etc. <br /><br />In 2008, Goldman Sachs was one of his biggest backers. <br /><br />What I believe is immaterial. I didn't make him. Jewish community play an essential role in making him president. So, if he is bad for Jews, Jews did it to themselves. <br />priss rulesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-81754293307418390512015-06-03T15:59:16.916-07:002015-06-03T15:59:16.916-07:00So he claims, priss.

J-street is just the more Liberal version of AIPAC. <br /><br />Israel has 200 to 300 nukes and rejects any international inspections. Obama hasn't brought that up as an issue. Instead, he's working to prevent Iran from getting nukes through a deal. Good deal or bad deal, there's no doubt that he's far more pro-Zionist than pro-Iranian. <br /><br />priss rulesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-8472337608854741022015-06-03T10:45:03.957-07:002015-06-03T10:45:03.957-07:00These people are self-deluded.
