keep in mind that Mark Kirk is one of Israel's best friends in Congress, and Alexi Giannoulias is Tony Rezko's banker.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

I thought only stupid liberal Jews never learned.
I would like to think Kirk is a true friend of Israel but then so was Bush. We see where that got us. If I could vote for him it would be solely on his conservative background, nothing else. Why?
Keep in mind if the "best friend to Israel," failed to sign the embassy act which again was more meaningful then placing the US embassy in the captial of Israel, why and how do you continue to trust? Bush screwed us over FOREVER on Jerusalem!!! He who promised in his first week of office to sign the embassy act.
I know the problem. Jews are suckered in both directions. It makes me laugh because no one on either side chooses see it.
Because of the promises Bush made, he suckered me into voting for him. I admit it. For that, for what he did to Israel with the quartet and lies about Abbas and peaceful Palestinians and selling fighter jets to the saudi's, threatening embargo's and sanctions, holding up visa's etc.,etc., after the horrible intifada of slaughter and because of my deep love for Jerusalem, I will never forgive.
I learned my lesson.
I knew why I didn't vote for Obama. I knew. However, what I know now is what they say to us to get our vote is completely different then how they throw us to the wolves once they take office.
What I learned more from this whole terrible experience was that my party for the most part were silent. AND NO, that is not different!!! Now of course the issue of loving Jews is on the lips of every conservative. Yah.
BTW: The AIPAC speech Obama made prior to taking office is very similar to that of George Bush. (with the exception of Jerusalem and the embassy act)
And yes friends, Obama is a zillion times worse. I know it. I am just a whole bunch smarter now.
I suppose the only time I started to suspect Bush( I am in UK) was when he was sitting grinning like an idiot, surrounded by smug Saudis.
