Will Barack Hussein Obama's flip flop on Jerusalem cost him a significant amount of the Jewish vote?

Dems so much. Is it the Catholic thing? The right-wing thing? 'Cause Cons are the ones that will save their ass from Arabs, not Dems.

I don't care for him telling AIPAC that Jerusalem should be 'one city and Israel's capital,' but American politicians have to kiss Jewish/Israeli ass to get elected, sadly.

Why would his 'one city, Israeli capital' position COST him Jewish votes?

Most American Jews are well educated, hence liberal, so Little Barry will pull the majority. Jews are quite split among themselves on Israeli issues, as are Israelis, so I doubt this will make much difference. Besides, Obama will just change again next week.

It is indeed amazing. And of course, it's the loss of some of that support that gave birth to the liberal prejorative "neocon". What they mean by that of course is those Jew bastards who abandoned liberal ideology in a post-9/11 world.

"Besides, Obama will just change again next week"

Now THAT is the bottom line. :)

Why? He says it will be their capital. His position on that may change. You can't end a dispute by giving one of the bones of contention completely to one side. Personally, I don't think there will be peace long if either side has a capital in Jerusalem. I would disallow either of them having a capital there and say it goes down the "Green Line" as originally established (no settlements or "suburbs") dividing the city or it should be an international city belonging to the U.N.

Doubt it....Obama is more popular with Jews than....

Joe Lieberman!

What was his earlier position, that Jerusalem should be given to the Palestinians?

Sorry beerNUTs, this thread is for people with some grasp of reality. Apparently you don't qualify.

Better luck in the next thread.

...too chickenshit to actually spell it out, though.

Why ARE you such a pussy, Stan? Did you get bullied a lot as a child, or what?

No evidence whatever, so Stanley's trying to bluster his way out.

The USUAL, then...

Is this one of those Jewish calendar things I don't understand? Because it looks like 6 weeks ago his position was the same. Was it different before then?
