Nice that J street is suppording ellison, who until he decided to run for national office was a nation of islam supporter. that should do a lot of good for the jews.

Both McCain and his wife and Obama paid their respects in NYC at ground zero of the 9/11 sneak attack.

So why can't Palin and Hillary or whomever protest the islamofascist regime of iran?

This will backfire on the Democrats.

Jews who care about Israel will see once again what kind of fair-weather friends Democrats are today.

to the Iranians, this furnishes enough proof that the US can be divided along political lines to be very encouraged indeed. The true fallout from this will be a more intransigent and bolder Iran.

As for disappointment, my expectations regarding Obama were already low, but my expectations from H. Clinton were much higher. I assumed she was someone who understood these matters.

"This will backfire on the Democrats.

This will not backfire for the leftists and Obama because Jews are the dumbest people on the planet, constantly putting every stupid cause ahead of our own self-interest and survival.

This event is yet another clear indication not of a political event, but a collective pathology.

Any Jew who votes for Obama is complicit in their own destruction. Perhaps there needs to be a redefining of "who is a Jew." The concept of "Jew" has become so flexible that it encompasses those who are in the process of leaving or who have left the group, not unlike Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, Secretary of State Kissinger, Secretary of State Madeline Alright or billionaire Georg Soros. In each case the burden of Judaism was jettisoned for power on the world political stage. So short-sighted, so uneducated as to the value of their heritage, they turned their backs on those who gave them life. Can their be anything less valuable to this world's survival than disloyalty for no particular reason other than personal gain to those who protected you, who gave you such deep roots in this chaotic world? It smacks of psychopathy or ignorance or the toxic combination of both.

Perhaps there needs to be a redefining of "who is a Jew."

Jerry you have hit the nail on the head and to add to this there needs to be a public outcry when the actions of one supposed Jew is attributed to all Jews; the collective guilt syndrome.
Soros who aided the Nazis and has decried any connection to Jews and things Jewish is a useful bat used by "some of my best friends" people to swing against Jews.
There a host of Chomskys, Ronnie Kasrils, Pappes et al out there and the list should be publicized that they do not speak in my name.
Maybe those more conservative American Jews can write Palin a letter expressing their regret at the behaviour of those "Democrat" hypocrites.

Daoud, what does Islam do to Muslims who abandon Islam, who betray Islam, who write books of fiction on Islam (Satanic Verses)?

Eddie,

The comment was about Judaism, not Islam.

And remember, it's D-A-V-i-d. Maybe you and Arabian can split the English tutor.
