The Jewish Case Against Barack Obama
Lest this website be perceived as a shill for the Obama campaign…
“The Jewish Case Against Barack Obama”
Link: 
Some info from the video’s creator:
My name is Ben Shapiro, and I’m a nationally syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate, as well as a Harvard Law-educated lawyer in Los Angeles. I’m an Orthodox Jew — my wife hails from Israel, where we were just married in July. So the issue of Israel is very near and dear to me, as it is to most other Jews.
With Israel in mind, this is an enormous election season for American Jewry. It pits a consistently strong defender of Israel in John McCain against a man who is at best an enigma on the issue of Israel. At worst, Barack Obama is far more dangerous. His advisors are largely anti-Israel. His friends are consistently anti-Israel. His running mate, Joe Biden, says all of the right things but has a questionable record on the Jewish State. And the candidate himself is ambivalent on his defense of Israel — he reversed himself on a united Jerusalem over the course of 24 hours, and states that he will meet with Hitler-lite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions.
And yet most American Jews are convinced that Obama is a less threatening version of Bill Clinton. They believe that Obama loves the State of Israel, will stand up for Israel’s interests, and only wants to see the Israelis come to a quick and just agreement with Palestinian Arabs that protects Israel’s long-term safety and security.
There is no evidence to that effect. In fact, all the evidence points in the opposite direction.
To the end of educating American Jews on Israel — as well as Israel’s non-Jewish American supporters — I’ve produced a three-part YouTube video entitled “The Jewish Case Against Barack Obama.
Here’s the link to the trailer at YouTube.com: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PDh7s1pjIw
And here’s the link to the entire video at Breitbart.tv:

For fifty years, Jews have been gratefully voting for Harry Truman. Truman, unfortunately, is gone, and his party has largely become a respository of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiment. Jews cannot live in the past when it comes to 2008. They must make a choice between McCain and Obama. When it comes to Israel, the choice is clear.

If you’re going to post this, be prepared to back up the statements. Show me evidence that Obama is secretly rooting for the destruction of Israel. If you say “because his friends hate Israel,” that’s just not a good reason. Show me SOMETHING he said or did to show that he hates Israel.

Jonathan,
At this point I’m pretty sure nobody’s surprised that you’re unwilling to be “bothered” to watch a video with which you disagree. After all, you’ve already come out on this website saying you’re “overjoyed” at the idea that Obama is good friends with a man who says it’s alright to murder IDF soldiers. That, and the fact that you started the website jewsforobama.com and you apparently have a Daily Kos Diary. And you speak of “lies and distortions?” Please. (Oh and nice line about Walmart and hunting rifles — been watching a lot of Michael Moore lately, huh?)
Wow, talk about shills!
Ben Shapiro writes for TownHall.com, a rabidly right-wing Web site which sells lies and distortions as easily as Wal-Mart sells hunting rifles.
The text above and the video trailer are filled with the same lies which Republicans have been repeating about Obama for the past year. I’m not even going to bother watching the video itself; I’m sure it’s just as filled with lies as the other stuff, and not worth my time (or anyone else’s).
