I think there is a major difference, though, between them and now.
32 years ago, more Jewish-Americans identified with Israel. Today, they are a little embarrassed by it. Zionism has become crazy Uncle Moshe screaming about Hitler to your Goyim friends at your bat-Mitzvah. A recent poll showed that 50% of Jewish Americans under 35 would not see the destruction of Israel as a personal tragedy.
Israel's main supporters in the US today are the Fundementalists Christians who think we need Israel to exist so Jesus can come back and even all the scores for them.
And really, Obama's policy isn't really that different than Bush-43's or Clintons or even most of the PM's of Israel. EVERYONE sane realizes that there needs to be a two-state solution. Israel can't keep treating Arabs as a second class citizenry like South Africa did to it's blacks, and they can't assimilate them into the political structure where Hamas and Fatah get seats on the Knesset. So really, dividing up the place is really the only way to go. It's just an argument of where the lines get drawn.
Thats a joke right? you can't be that clueless and were is this poll you sight? Post it or don't mention, it I have not meet these Jews
Kiddo, you by yourself, are no more no less a sounding board on this issue than anybody else. Don't like it, don't participate.
I don't quote polls unless I post them.
