Many people in Israel are doing the same thing, and many American Jews are also condemning the settlements as well...
You can't reason with the stupid.

Oh yeah, and the Jews voted for Obama because he told them to. May be next time he should campaign for Palin. She's more his kind of politician.
Yeah, much better to be an Obamapuppet. And are you really serious that people's voting persuasions have never been influenced by 'trusted' elected officials' opinions, newspaper endorsements, celebs, or fill in the blank. He campaigned for Obama. He regrets that now.

This Jewish Obama voter completely agrees with this.

Koch said he believes Obama "orchestrated" what happened in Israel.

"What they did is they wanted to make Israel into a pariah," he said. "It's outrageous in my judgment. "
Senile old fool is now a conspiracy theorist. What a complete idiot.

But I forgot I'm going off topic here.

I'll let the wackos who want Israel destroyed carry on with their BS.
You're right. I disagree with Obama but anti-Semitism has nothing to do with the Obama administration. As you noted there are many in Israel who critisize the government.

But there are 10 to 20 or so "whackos" on this forum who repeatedly flock to any Israel-related thread who as you said want Israel destroyed. In their litlle minds they're using this forum to deligitimize Israel's existence. "Genocide"! "Apartheid"! "The Zionists"!
Sick and tired of their BS.

HBO aired a documentary on gay politicians who deny they are gay [try to hide it] and Ed Koch was one of them [all the rest were Republicans]. I don't think Koch has a lot of credibility representing any ethnic group.

Because they understand the difference between a religion and a country?

Thank goodness Obama slammed Israel the way they did! They deserve it! Good riddance Koch, you douchebag (of course now he's going to become a 'Faux News' star)

This.

As an American Jew, I (and many others like me) refuse to visit Israel until there is more fairness for the Palestinians. I have Israeli friends who have left because they are disgusted with their government. There's nothing anti-semitic about wanting peace. The settlements, checkpoints, etc are something that SHOULD be condemned and are condemned by many Israelis and Jews in the diaspora.

To say that Obama is an anti-semite shows a distinct lack of understanding and appreciation for the power of that word.

Coch may be a closet homosexual ,
but at least he is an openly patriotic Jew ( antisem term: "zionist ") ...

It is true that many Jews in USA are corrupted by socialist ideas & cannot understand the tough reality in Israel. They think that Pals & Islamists are normal people & that the problems can be solved by....negotiations,dialogue,non violence & so on...
I call them "armchair Jews"...Many of them have never been in Israel...

As for Israelis against ..."settlements ",.this is a bitter story....Most of them are Arab "Jews " & converts...25% of Israeli citizens...
