22. Quoting Liebeman as the voice of Israel is like quoting Ted Cruz for the US

In addition to being extreme, he is very corrupt.

To say that ALL Obama's objectives are "bad" for Israel assumes that a two state solution is bad for Israel. Note that Lieberman's supporters include a deputy defense minister who says we should not even speak of Israeli settlements in the West Bank --- rather we should speak of Palestinian enclaves in Israel -- implicitly annexing the West Bank -- or as they call it Judea and Samaria.

These articles conflate Netanyahu and Israel - they are NOT one and the same. (Would anyone here have agreed that opposing GWB was against "America"?)

As to American Jews, more favor JStreet - which is lobbying for Kerry's effort to succeed in Israel and for a deal with Iran.
