Israelis For Obama



This video quite literally brought tears to my ears. It's a stunning affirmation of the commitment and connection many Israeli citizens have with Barack Obama. I will be passing this on to all my Jewish relatives, I hope you will do the same.

  2. This is beautiful. But PLEASE correct the GRAMMAR. (The title should be Israelis for Obama. Remove the apostrophe!)

    Thank you!

  3. Absolutely beautiful and deeply moving.

    Who really cares about the silly misplaced apostrrophe when the message is this powerful?!

  4. I am an Obama supporter. This video is carefully staged and edited to show Israeli support. I am sure that the same thing can be done to support McCain. Both candidates are bending over backwards to show their support of Israel. McCain's best friend is Joe Lieberman...There are many other issues to NOT vote for Mcain but this is not one of them.

  5. Well, this convinced me that a few israeli's would vote for obama if they could vote--although it did not give a single reason for their support. What Obama could do to convince everyone else there is actually a reason for these 8 people to hold obama signs is to post not an ad like this, but a video of himself on his website in support of israel -- something he'd never do. which is exactly the problem. i just wish in the next debate that mccain would ask him point blank why not. there may be other reasons to vote for obama, but a voice for israel is not one of 'em. (go watch last week's debate and count how many times he uttered the word israel--once--versus mccain, endlessly.)

  7. interesting scribbleme... Obama has muslim ties and the Israelis are supporting him...whether this is a majority or not, I think there is no way a Jewish person would suport his muslim extremist views. So even if it is 8, Lets ask the ones in New York

    The New York metropolitan area is home to the largest number of Jews outside Israel. There are more Jews within New York City limits than within Jerusalem city limits, making the New York City Jewish community the largest such community in the world. About 12% of New Yorkers claim to be Jewish or of Jewish descent

    Lets open this up to real discussion
