J Street as Jewish Political Cover for Obama and Democrats

and we all will be better off. Too many say support Israel no matter what they do. I would not if it were my own government - why would I do this for them?
I support moral behavior, and ask that our policy support nations who promote peace and treats others decently, respect official borders, and do not invade soverign nation. I do not support our government if it misses the mark on these subjects -
It is laughable that folks are called anti-Semitic if they don't give Israel carte blanche. The arabs in the Middle East are Semites too, so the term is completely pointless. I support the state of Israel within their original borders, not bombing their neighbors, and not settling in land that is not theirs.
J Street's reasonable approach that encourages peace is welcomed. None of the groups - AIPAC or J Street - should have special contact with the White House.
I think also it is strange to have a citizen of another country in such a high White House position. Emanuel is often conflicted when discussing the Middle East. He should withdraw from conversations on this topic (as judges or lawyers do) due to his dual citizenship. We need a solution to issues that defend America's best interests - no one elses. As an honorable person, he should see the logic in this.

When are you folks going to wake up and see what is going on around you??? Obama doesn't give a damn about Isreal or anyone else. All he wants to do is control everyone and everything in the United States and any where else he can get his hands on. For all the dumb asses that voted for "change", well you sure as hell are getting change. But not what you voted for. I tried to tell folks before the election that he was bad news, but no one listens to a old man.
