I'll give serious consideration to voting for HRC.

The more likely outcome is that I'll convert to Judaism, and still vote for Bernie.

Even more likely is that I won't convert, support Israel's right to exist, and still vote for Bernie.

We have recently marked the 20th anniversary of the assassination of then Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, a good friend, a courageous warrior and a great statesman. This somber anniversary, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington on November 9, is an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds of friendship and unity between the people and governments of the United States and Israel.

The alliance between our two nations transcends politics. It is and should always be a commitment that unites us, not a wedge that divides us.

Ever since President Truman waited only 11 minutes to recognize the new nation of Israel in 1948, Americans have believed that Israel is more than a country — it’s a dream nurtured for generations and made real by men and women who refused to bow to the toughest odds.

My first visit to Israel, in December 1981, sparked an enduring emotional connection for me — to the land and its people — and admiration for how Israelis have built a thriving democracy in a region full of adversaries and autocrats. I was so impressed with the Israeli approach to early childhood education and to helping parents become their children’s first teachers that I worked to bring the Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (commonly known by its acronym, HIPPY) to Arkansas. Over the past 30 years, I’ve worked with Israelis of all stripes and made dear friends like the Rabins and many others inside and outside of government.

Cruz would be different.

Trump would make things worse for everyone.

The survey of 600 Israelis also found that 61 percent of Jewish-Israelis believe Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s positions on Israel are “very or moderately friendly.” In addition, 34 percent of Jewish-Israelis surveyed believe a Republican president would be better than a Democratic one for Israel and 28 percent think a Democratic president would be better, while 38 percent had no opinion or did not know.

You really do have problems with polls.

better and 36% don't have any opinion when broken down by party but when broken down by candidate 61% believe Trump would good for Israel

Let me explain the headline could read : Given the margin of error Israelis don't have any preference for Democratic or Republican Party president as it pertains to Israel as either part will have a president 100% supportive of their ally in Israel.


Israel is supported by every single candidate.... Every single one .

And more than double the number of Democrats suport Israel over the Palestinians in this conflict as do those Democrats that support the Palestinians over Israel ( a minuscule 23% of Democrats)

not many but still more - sorry if that makes you uncomfortable or something

Israel will continue to be best friends and ally of the USA , A Democratic president will support Israel and 80% of American Jews will support the president as will our brothers and sisters in Israel.
