ON WHY JEWS ARE SUPPORTING OBAMA
Reader comment on item: Romney's Remarkable Speech in Jerusalem
in response to reader comment: Unfortunately, the operative word is 'IF"
Submitted by JACQUES HADIDA (United States), Aug 1, 2012 at 13:20
DEAR SARA
Just like you I am baffled that Jews at large are supporting Obama like if they did not know his true position on Israel.
Maybe they are very egotistic and comfortable in their ACTUAL POSITION AND PERSONAL SITUATION and do not wish to change it, and Israel comes second in their priorities.
Sadly, it is always too late when we realize our mistakes and we do not learn from history
Thanks Sara for your note
