Republican Jewish Coalition Urges Unity After Obama Win Follow Virtual Jerusalem on and Date Posted: 2012-11-07 18:24:04
The Republican Jewish Coalition called on all Americans to "come together to craft real solutions to the very serious problems our country faces today" after President Obama won reelection. In a statement released by Executive Director Matt Brooks, the RJC noted what it called a significant erosion of support for Obama among Jewish voters, with exit polls saying that Obama garnered about 69 percent of the Jewish vote, down from an estimated 74 percent to 78 percent in 2008. "In five of the last six national elections, Republicans have increased their support among Jewish voters and they continue to make inroads in the Jewish community," Brooks said. "One clear take-away from the outcome of this election is that the Jewish community spoke loudly and clearly regarding their concerns about the policies of the Obama administration." The chairman and president of the National Jewish Democratic Council released a statement saying they were "thrilled" with Obama's reelection. "In his first term, President Obama signed historic legislation into law, appointed outstanding Supreme Court justices and reflected Jewish values at every turn -- all while being Israel's most important friend and most persistent advocate in the world," the statement by Marc Stanley and David A. Harris said. "We know that he will continue to build on his outstanding foreign and domestic record in his second term, and that he will continue moving our country forward." A host of other Jewish groups also offered their congratulations to the president. "President Obama has made it clear during the past four years that he and his administration are strongly committed to solidarity with Israel in confronting the many security challenges that she and our own nation face," the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said in a statement. The statement noted that both candidates for president were "firmly supportive of the U.S.-Israel relationship" and that the commitment is reflected in the newly elected Congress. "The election once again demonstrated that the solidarity between the U.S. and Israel transcends partisan politics," AIPAC said.via jta.org

You have ears, but do not hear and you have eyes, but do not see. This statement above **\"In his first term, President Obama signed historic legislation into law, appointed outstanding Supreme Court justices and reflected Jewish values at every turn -- all while being Israel\'s most important friend and most persistent advocate in the world,\" the statement by Marc Stanley and David A. Harris said.** This in fact reveals just how blind and ignorant men can be. Hitler also appointed outstanding judges in his day! Israels most important friend? This is what happens when CNN is the only news you watch. This also is what happens when you forget Hitler and the ability he had over the masses. When a people have their allegiance surrendered over to one man, it is not devotion; it is slavery of the mind. Stanley and Harris have surrendered their minds and are slaves. Stanley and Harris are Obama\'s -ghetto police- per se. And on the other side, the Republican Jews believe they had a victory? As it says above **Brooks said. \"One clear take-away from the outcome of this election is that the Jewish community spoke loudly and clearly regarding their concerns about the policies of the Obama administration.\"** Who spoke loudly? 69% down from 74% and that excites the Republican Jews? It proves that the majority of Jews CANNOT identify a socialist in their midst. It is said that ignorant people vote for an ignorant person. And there is the proof. Now I agree, he may not make soap or lamp shades of us as Hitler did to our ancestors. No. Instead, he will allow the Muslims to remove us off the earth. Once again my fellow Jews say -NEVER AGAIN-... as it is happening before their very eyes. The wheels of anti zionism turn slow, however, they are turning.

I didnt want to say it in the first comments I made, but I thought about the whole thing a little bit more and so I have to say; sometimes a person must touch fire before he/she understands that it can burn lightly or inflict such damage that the fire will kill. Many liberal/Democratic Jews have never touched fire and thus, have never been burned and felt pain. Because life, as they say, -is good-. Life has been good to them. There they are on the beaches of Fl soaking in the sun in order to watch their skin turn a fantastic bronze. In contrast, the IDF having their skin bronzed by the sun as they are out in the desert protecting the land that was given to them by YHVH... The only trials many of the American Jews experience(d) are weight gain or the common cold. Money has taken away a majority of their problems. And what can it hurt if the Govt takes off the top of vast earnings? Thats why Hollywood can say -take as much as you need to Mr Socialist. Why? Because they have plenty! Nevertheless, I want to talk about money earned through labor. Not acting or singing your way to money, but labor. Can you see Bon Jovi cleaning the toilets of people like Joe the plumber? Can you see Spielberg working at a local farm and cleaning up chicken crap 10 hours a day so families can eat chicken dinners? My Grandpapa came over from Germany. Hitler missed him by five minutes. When he arrived, first, he did it legally. He went on to start a wallpaper and paint store. He earned his money and used the profits to build the company. What burns me up is that many, like him, also started out the same way. I live in an area that has two cupcake businesses and they are tasty. Thus, I wont sterotype with the proverbial bagel business- Let\'s go back 2000 years or so and peek in on the life of Hadassa. Hadassa\'s family and friends said *Hadassa, you have got to have others taste these cupcakes! They taste yummy and people would love them. Why keep such a cupcake to yourself? And,,, as time went on people began to ask her for more. *We will pay you for your cupcakes, says a friend! You could start a business, says a family member! And you would live off of your baking abilities* So Hadassa introduces her cupcakes to others. They are, a taste-bud hit! She begins to expand and hires family and employees. She begins shipping them to Rome and surrounding areas via Yello Camel Express. What is Hadassa? She is a successful business woman. she started from scratch in her small home. Never did the neighborhood label her by the nasty perceived term -Capitalist-. So I ask my liberal neighbors; was she evil for taking her talents and building a cupcake company? Was she evil for making the taste-buds of children and adults happy? Was she evil for creating new jobs around her? After all, she needed a building to allow people to come and purchase the cupcakes. She paid the landlord. The frosting would melt were it not for Isaacs Ice company LLC, right? She needed grape leaves to wrap the cupcakes? So Shlomo the fig man was also making money. She needed sugar and ingredients for the cupcakes. So in turn, she was helping other local businesses. Because of her gifts, others were able to feed their families. SUCH A DEAL. By the grace of YHVH, she took her gifts and used them to create a smashing cupcake company. She took the profits and built the business up from the ground. What roads did Govt build? They were dirt roads! What Govt help to start her business? Hadassa is not a Republican or a Democrat. But she could say -I built that! Not Caesar; Not Govt!- She took her profits and used them respectively and conservatively. Yes, she had days when there was nobody coming to eat the cupcakes because Caesar was taking so much from the people who would buy the cupcakes. But that is why she put some money away. Liberal Jews, is Hadassa evil? By todays culture and mentality she is a capitalist pig and must be stopped. What gets me is the parallel to drug dealers. Are they not also -Capitalists?- Do they buy a product and find a customer? Do they expand? do they help local businesses? Just the fact that marijuana causes the munchies has me thinking about the fast food businesses open during their pot head experience? Remember Harold and Kumar and the White Castle? I go through this tangent because you have lost control of your thinking abilities and have allowed someone to do the thinking for you. The liberal has given their mind over to the Govt so the Govt does the thinking for them. But, at what cost? Do you need to be burned before you understand -fire is hot?- Are you not an individual, created by YHVH, to use the little grey cells? Capitalism is not bad. You are being told daily through liberals who have seized news agencies that Capitalism is bad. It is the manner in which -people- use the system that gives it a bad name, not the term itself. Let me tell you the difference between those who need to be burned and those who dont. I am not limited to one news channel. Especially when the news channel is in bed with the Govt. Who is defending your 1st Amendment if the Press and the Govt sleep together? I listen to all sides of a matter. If you are a Jew, is that not a responsibility that YHVH has placed upon you? As K and D have said; Search out a matter, i.e, YOU must place in the light the things that are problematical and the subjects of controversy. This must be done in conformity with their high position, with surpassing intelligence, and, in conformity with their responsibility, with conscientious zeal.. I do not have to drink poison to know that it will kill me. I study the matter and act appropriately. Stop being ignorant. Stop taking your freedoms lightly. I think it safe to say that if I were to send you over to Israel and put you in the IDF, you would not last a day. You have grown fat and happy. In contrast, I would much rather have a soldier with the IDF come to America where he/she would never be more grateful for such freedoms. Freedoms provided in oppossition to Govt tyranny. You know the history. They had already learned from one dictator in England and thus, provided us with a manual in which we would be able to identify the same tyrannical culprits. That was what the Founders proposed and purposed; to create an environment always accountable to the people. Don\'t be burned. Learn about those in Govt who like to play with matches, and you will avoid being burned by them.

There is no way that I and my family can stand together in unity with GOP Jews. The GOP is a betrayer of Basic Jewish Values. We are commanded to do Justice,to support Justice. And as a member of the 47%, I can do no other.
