"If Israel is so powerful, why don't they expand more? Take of Jordan, which was part of the original plan under the British."
Israel's top priority is to maintain itself as a "Jewish state". This deeply racist outlook is something that is discussed openly in Israeli society! Israel is still working on digesting the land Zionists stole from the Palestinians and completing the ethnic cleansing of what remains of Palestine. In fact, the main driver of the "peace process" as far as Israel is concerned is maintaining the Jewish "purity" of the state as Ariel Sharon said to justify the withdrawal from Gaza. Hence the idea is to keep as much land and as few Palestinians as possible. Expansion would increase what Israeli leaders refer to as the "demographic threat".
"Also, if ME policy is run by Jews, why didn't the US bomb Riyadh and Cairo after 9/11? Why do we sell/give them so many US weapons?"
First of all, I don't think you should use the word "Jews" but rather the Israel Lobby in this context, as many Jews are supporters of peace and justice in the Middle East (but clearly not you assuming you are Jewish)
The Israel Lobby has no reason to want the US to bomb Riyadh and Cairo. Note that they do want the US to bomb Iran, though. Iraq is another example of the Israel Lobby getting the US government to act in ways that are contrary to American interests. The Egyptian government, on the other hand, is an ally of the US and has good relations with Israel (selling them natural gas at discounted rates). The Saudi government is also an ally of the US and is not hostile to Israel in any meaningful way.

"Remember, 5.25 million square miles of territory belonging to members of the Arab League, home to over 330 million people, whereas Israel covers only eight thousand square miles, and is home to seven million citizens, one-fifth of whom are Arabs. I guess that 8,000 sq. miles is too much for you. You seem a little obsessed."
How is this relevant? The Zionists stole the land of Palestine and ethnically cleansed its population (my family is one of those who were ethnically cleansed). How does the fact that there are Arabs living in other countries justify the theft and ethnic cleansing of Palestine? Would the fact that there are many Europeans living in Europe justify taking over France and ethnically cleansing its population?
We have to look at who will do the most for israel as President.
Which candidate will allow amnesty to come about? Who will help out the illegal, wetback and other non-white minorities instead of Americans?
Who will stand up for the rights of homos, lezbos, freaks, trannies and degenerates and give them more rights than us normal "breeders"?
Who will continue the war so israel can steal the rest of the Middle Easts oil, opium and lands?
Who will continue the assault on the white Christians?
Who will be the best at dis-arming Americans from our 2nd Amendment Right?
Who will be the best at bringing about new hate crime laws that make every minority sub-group more protected than the majority white population??
If any one candidate can do all that, the jews will make them president.
If voting could actually change the system, the ADL, SPLC and AIPAC would make it illegal.

The Lobby will continue to undermine Obama and anyone else who is not a 100% subscriber to their agenda of attacking Iran and "staying the course" in Iraq (and of course fighting Israel's other wars for domination of the Middle East).
At what point would Americans reclaim the Middle Eastern foreign policy which has been hijacked by the Israel Lobby?
At what point would people stand up against the Lobby's control of the public debate through intimidation and misinformation?
At what point would Jews realize that the Lobby's warmongering and its methods of control work against the interests of Jews in the long run?
The title of the article was supposed to be funny : it was intended as an ironic reversal of the well-known formula, "Is (so-and-so) good for the Jews?"
Therefore picking up the phrase "the Jews" and running with it is not only a demonstration of wilful ignorance regarding the sociology of Jewish élites, regarding which I suggest you read almost anything by M. J. Rosenberg at Israel Policy Forum, but missing the point of the headline.
the jews control the media which they use to inflate their image of importance, and the national political machines are too dumb to see this. lucky we have such perceptive individuals who do, to tell us. as often as they can.
I think it is a gross misrepresentation to suggest that the Jewish vote is likely to have a significant effect on any election considering that they represent only two and a half percent of the population. However, what cannot be disputed is that through their effective control of the media, they have managed to inflate the degree of their importance to such an extent that it had become the standard practice of contenders to public office to openly kowtow to the whims of this minority in fear that if they didn't do so, they risk jeopardizing their prospects. Someone has to expose the absurdity of this myth.
