re: #8 marjoriemoon

I wanted to showcase what you said —-

I can love and support Israel, and feel my heart belongs there (I do) while simultaneously supporting my mother country. Wow! Imagine that! That doesn’t classify me as a sell out, Israel-firster or whatever anti-Semitic tripe someone calls it.

I will not vote Republican. I never did before, I’m not starting now. I’m to compromise everything I believe in? Freedom and justice for all races, women, children and the elderly? That wouldn’t make me much of a Jew or a person, as far as I’m concerned.

—- because you said it so beautifully.

& I wanted to make another point: I honestly do not think America’s (or, if you will, Obama’s) support for Israel is actually less than historically (his predecessors’). I think it’s the overall climate that has changed, and made American’s (or Obama’s) simply seem lesser.
