My Dad often used the analogy of the good cow who gave the richest and most plentiful milk in the world... and then consistently kicked over the pail before any benefit could be derived from it. It's perversity, pure and [not so] simple! They want to be Loved. I believe this has been going on with World Jewry for decades [maybe millennia] , and what has consistently kept the Jewish People in jeopardy. They have a passion for choosing causes, "compromises", and friends bound to bite them in the end.

Each concession is used by their enemies as demonstrable evidence that their prior position was "illegitimate", thereby requiring demands for more concessions. Where have they been? Why isn't this obvious? In 2006, 85%+ American Jews voted Democrat and turned the Congress over to the most radical Dems available, thereby weakening Bush, hobbling the initiatives of the most pro-Israel President in history, and ensuring that nothing what-so-ever could be done by him to stop Iran.

I don't know the percentages for Obama, but Mr Zuckerman [as late as two weeks ago], was still joyfully "explaining" why Obama/Clinton are so wonderful for the Economy, America, Israel and The World. Sorry folks, but I believe this multi-Billionaire has a penchant for selectively defining-down "security" to fit his political leanings, and while he's not altogether a malefactor like Soros, the net effect is the same. Why would an intelligent Jew totally ignore all of the facts on the ground for 40 years about the people closest to and most strongly supporting Obama? The man was discovered, groomed, supported and put forth by 60's radicals representing the counter-culture - now control all the levers of power in the US.

Why was the "lock-down" of all information on "early Obama" not even questioned? Have Jews not noticed that most University Faculties [and their super-bright, indoctrinated students] are avidly Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel? Did they not listen CLOSELY to the silken phrases consistent in his oratory? Or, perhaps, has even the comprehension of the "ultra-educated" been so degraded, that they refuse to understand the meaning of words? [It all depends on what the definition of "is" is]. Lemmings?

Israelis and Peacenik Lefties worldwide, have conveniently ignored the direct correlation between OSLO with the subsequent recognition of the outlawed, demonstrably terrorist PLO... Intifadas, "Land-for-Peace", unilaterally exiting S. Lebanon and Gaza, [most of the WBank] and the escalation of continuous danger to security... i.e.: everlasting war. As for Netanyahu, while believing he's the right man for this time, one is reminded that it will take a very strong and exceptional man to hold his ground [especially as regards Jerusalem, Golan, Mt Dov, and continuing natural, organic expansion of settlements in Judea & Samaria] to withstand all of the forces of evil, treachery and capitulation aligned before him.
