You are a jerk or else a McCain mole. Obama gains absolutely nothing if Biden does what you want--he just loses Florida and other states where my friends are a key part of the electorate. And by the way, Israel has shared half the territories partitioned by the UN sice May 14, 1948 and offerred to give Arafat 97% of the territories it captured in 1967. On the day i January, 2001 thatIsrael offerred to share the piece of the earth under the UN partition plan, five Arab armies attacked it. On the day Israel offerred to share the piece of the earth it had captured under the plan proposed by Bill Clinton and his aides, Arafat rejected it and made no counter-offer. TAKE YOUR FUCKING JEW HATED ELSEWHERE.

Barack Obama, who considers Israel a stalwart ally and has the greatest respect for its leaders thinks you are a Jew-hating cretin, and so do I.

And, of course, President McCain will encourage rthe Mossad to take care of those wackos by arranging to have them terminated with extreme prejudice. You can count on it.

You are deluded if you think President Obama will give any support to the wacko one-staters. He has given my friends and me assurances that his administration would marginalize those wackos in a nanosecond and treat them as the Hamas pawns that they are. Look for Dennis Ross and Bill Clinton to give Abbas a choice early next year: either take the Taba maps or die.

Ms. Mort-- Care to tell TPM members how you were thrown out of an important job with a major trade union for being virulently anti-Israel, or should they write to UNITE-HERE themselves to find out?

If you aren't on John McCain's payroll, you should be because when you urge Barack Obama to show Israelis "tough love" you are handing Florida and Pennsylvania to McCain. I rest easy in the secure knowledge that nobody in Washington in any position of influence who want to see Israel survive, and nobody in the Obama campaign who wants to win, will ever pay any attention to idiots like you.

What is it that the new president should get? That the way to get a fractious Israeli government and a distrustful Israeli people to agree to concessions to Abbas is to threaten and bluster the way Bush 41 and his toady Secretary of State James Baker did in 1991? If that is what you think, I thank G-d Barack Obama, Joe Biden and their chief advisor on Israel, former Amb. Dennis Ross, consider people like you to be idiots.

"It suggests that Jews are seriously divided: that the vast majority, around 70%... want to see the US pressure Israelis and Palestinians into a peace deal; while our most prominent Jewish leaders, in AIPAC, the Council of Presidents, and the World Jewish Congress, tend to promote the agenda of the 20-25% who identify with conservative politics, and would never vote for Obama no matter what he does."

Avishai

Where the hell do you get the idea, you stupid jerk, that 70% of American Jews favor "pressure" on Israel to make concessions to Hamas. Let J Street run a poll that asks American Jewish respondents if they would favor a cutoff of U.S. economic and military aid to Israel--aid that J Street says it supports--if Israel does not accept an American imposed peace plan. What percentage of respondents in such a poll would agree with that--10, 20, 30? You don't know what you are talking about.

Why don't you take the next El Al flight back to Lod, go and live in Ramallah, and do your idiotic blogging from that veritable peaceful democracy.

I am a proud AIPAC member and have given more to Barack Obama than 98% of his contributors. I did so because I am a lifelong Democrat, convinced that Barack Obama and the people around him understand what happened to that asshole Carter in 1980, and I am confident that he won't do likewise if he becomes President (and besides Joe Biden would quit as V.P. if he ever tried to). AIPAC leadership isn't on a collision course with the vast majority of American Jews--it's on a collision course with feckless naifs like you and Rosenberg and Levy who think the way to stop Hamas and Hezbollah from killing Israelis is to play nice. WELL FUCK THAT!

I am neither a dolt or a Nazi. My final solution to the Palestenian problem is the same two-state deal that the weasel rejected in January, 2001 at Taba. Hopefully President Obama will ask Ambassador Ross and Special Envoy Bill Clinton to put it before Abbas and pressure the Saudis, the Egyptians and all of the other Arabs to force Hamas to take it.

Mr. Rosenberg, please, please ask your friends at J Street to oppose this sale vociferously so we can show them to be the fools they truly are. As soon as they oppose it, they will meet the same fate as Breirah.
