Exactly. Half of the RW is here hating liberals, while the other half is on other threads making anti-Semitic posts. They seem perfectly content, as long as they can express hatred for someone or something. Sad for them, even sadder for America.

No, his plane was not in air, and Obama said nothing new, simply re-stated the old US policy regarding the two state approach, which is supported by most Israelis.

I understand this concern, but think it's been overstated for partisan political reasons. In truth, as John Tabin has observed here at The American Spectator, Obama's position is essentially the Israeli position.

Indeed, Obama, Tabin notes, has "explicitly rejected the Palestinian effort to seek U.N. recognition for a state on the '67 borders, which is why many pro-Palestinian commentators are upset with him."

Try and keep up.
Not yours? Then why do you appear to lap up every mis-step he makes as being genius?

As for the vitriol, have you even paid attention to the left wing and their comments? How only they could possibility be right and how they dismiss their own vitriol as pure truth?

Showing an open mind on your part would be nice. Unlikely, but nice.

Try being honest for once.

Doesn't subtract from the person that president Obama is or the fine job he has done thus far as the leader of this country.
What planet do you live on?

The world can compare ol' jug ears to a real leader now. Jug ears is on the short end of the stick. Again. You lefties may hate Jews but you will not intimidate us. You picked the wrong horse.

Seems to be only supported by American Jews. Find it not so funny to live in America as a Jew and tell the Israeli Jews how to live. You do know there are a lot of anti-Israel Jews living in America and supporting the Democrats at any cost to Israel.
