Not That They Can Vote, But Israelis Are For Obama Too By M.J. Rosenberg - September 21, 2008, 10:09AM Israel has joined the rest of the world and is now supporting Obama. I say that based on the conversations I had over the past week with all kinds of people, across the political spectrum here in Jerusalem. Two reasons. The first is Palin. Israelis think she's a moron. One put it to me this way. "Look, we have crazy rightwingers too. Many. But the rightwingers who get involved in politics are not stupid. They are articulate and wrong. She seems stupid and that we don't elect here. Mc Cain chose her and that made Israelis think that he is not qualified to be your President." Another said: "Jews have access to Democrats. Rightwing Republicans don't know Jews. They think we are from the Bible. With Obama and Biden, we have people who know us and know Israel." More important is that Israelis are terrified that America is going down the tubes. "We are tied to you whether we like it or not. If America fails, we fail. Obama can rejuvenate you and that means all your allies are rejuvenated too. If you go down, so do we. McCain will lead America to be a second rate nation with China and the EU on top. Not good for us or for you." So that's it. The one country in the world where the populace supported McCain has switched sides. Let's just make Israel the 51st state now, before November. It has 7 million people. That is a good five electoral votes we can use. tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com
