"when asked if she would support Obama were he the Democratic candidate, she emphatically shook her head. "I'm Jewish," said Goldfeder, "and I haven't heard him say a word about Israel."
So, McCain's hundred years' war would be preferable?
OK, no offense, but now I wish I'd voted for Obama instead of Clinton.
Israel, for all its trumped up importance, is the 96th or so most populous country in the world. Right between Switzerland and Honduras, with a whopping .11% of the world's people. Their major exports are oranges and ammunition, which we can produce ourselves.
I wish them well, but as far as I'm concerned Israel doesn't get to vote for president of the US. They've got no delegates and shouldn't be making campaign contributions; they just shouldn't get a say. I'm seriously tired of the weight the Israel lobby and the ADL etc. throw around in our political system. It's not in either country's best interests, and it isn't in mine.
