The votes on healthcare are falling away. Dodd wants to pass toothless financial regulations. China is restless and threatening to sell our treasuries as Moody's ponders whether to pull our AAA credit rating. Companies keep laying off and Obama's poll numbers are falling off the cliff.

So what do these morons do? They decide to beat up on the Jews. The Iranians must be overjoyed.

You libs proud of this administration?

WEAK. I would say it's about time that someone stands up to Israel and finally shows their lobbyists and spies the door if they can't handle the heat coming from their own kitchen.

Beat up on the Jews?! Far from it, it's called standing up to a bully, and the bully crying and whining like a little punk who doesn't know what else to do. The administration is right on this point. Making the kid stand in the corner in time-out making him think about his actions is just the first step. The next is to really start getting tough with them.

About time.

Once again it seems people are unable to distinguish between a religious group and a nationality. Just why is that so difficult?

I don't believe it was difficult for the OP to distinguish between Israel or Jew. It's just so much more inflammatory to single out the religion.

My Way News - US Israel criticism ignites firestorm in Congress
So finally an US administration has the nerve to stand up to Israel's ridiculous policy of settlement building in the occupied West Bank territory and you try to turn into an anti-Semitic case of "Jew-bashing."

"Hey, Let's Beat Up the Jews!"

Well if the OP wants to improperly conflate Israel with Jews, so be it, because it is high time that somebody beat up on the Likudic government of Israel.

Interesting.

Let's beat up on the OP for the "inflammatory" use of the word Jew, but nothing about the timing of the Obama administrations attack on Israel.

Obama and crowd is trying to deflect criticism of their actions by bashing the Jews. You want to say Israel, go ahead, everyone really knows this is nothing but unadorned Jew-bashing.

No, you just created a circular argument...We make the point that this is about the Israeli government and not about Jews--which you
then reply that we should be discussing "the Obama administrations attack on Israel", which is just a case of "unadorned Jew-bashing"--according to you.

The settlements in the West Bank should have been dismantled years ago...the fact that they are still building new colonies is atrocious. Israel has a right to exist, they have a right to defend their borders---but they shouldn't be building walled settlement communities on what should be Palestinian territory.
