Unfortunately for them, Hillary Clinton is pro-Israel and Barack Obama is half-Jewish. So, I don't see it happening.

Obama half Jewish? Link please?

 

[Amerikanse]

Barack Obama is going to do many things I disagree with, but breaking with Israel is not one of them. It's just not a smart move in the big picture. Israel needs the US, and the US needs Israel. It's that simple.

Suspending arms sales to Israel would be handing Iran a "free nuke card".

It will never happen.

Half Jewish?

With his Muslim half and his Christian faith, that really makes sure he covers all bases.

The US does not need Israel.
Israel relies alot on the US. Some of our imports come direct from Israel/ Why???

Its like Hamas buying from a spaza shop and Israel buying from a wholesaler...
Theres a big difference.

Actually JK8 the jews run the American economy, the US does need them.

Iran must stop supplying weapons lol, have you seen what hamas has to place with compared to what Israel has to play with?

Go look at Israel's inventory in terms of helo's, planes, tanks etc and then come talk about hamas lol.

Poor old hamas have rockets they fire from 50km's away and hope to hit something, while Israel could hit a pin in the middle of the road with a guided rocket
