I am a native-born American, moved to Israel at the age of 23, a year after casting my first ballot as a legal, of-age voter in 1968 for Humphrey. I was completely amazed when I saw my dad shortly after the election and he told me that he had voted for Nixon - he was a rock-solid Democrat for as long as I could remember... When I asked him why, he looked at me in his own amazement and answered that Nixon was friendlier to Israel.....

Fast-forward to 2008. I am at my son's house in Modiin, and he had especially invited a new neighbor of theirs over for lunch because this guy was a Reform rabbi who had studied at HUC in Cincinnati and even remembered (or claimed he remembered) my aunt who had worked there. Unfortunately, the fool rabbi started talking politics and bragging about being a part of Rabbis for Obama, which got my son worried since he knows that I speak my mind. However, I just got up and left the table when the fool stuck his head literally in my FACE and hissed at me that the reason why Israelis didn't like Obama was because we think he is a Muslim.

Did he think he was going to "shame" me like some limp progressive Jew into proving that I was a "liberal" by voting for Loser Obama? Well, he was sooooo wrong.

And Ephraim, I ADORE what you posted!!!!
