    this is so frightening. with iran having advanced military capabilities, including there proxies in Syria, Lebanon & Gaza, i don’t want to think what can happen to israel should they strike Iran.
    from this podium i plea to the Israely government: Please! please don’t instigate a blood shed. Leave it up the US to handle the situation.

    What would you expect from Hussein Obama and Hillary, I cannot say the truth, Clinton. This is all the fault of the liberal Jews who have to vote for a lib even if it would kill them.

    To all of those well intended but Liberal oriented fellow Jews who voted for Obama…this is what Israel can expect…little to no support from a Muslim leaning leftist President surrounded by lackies of our own faith.
