It would be lame for them to return the money.

It would make them a political organization, rather than a service organization.

I'm beside myself. Look at what I found on this website.

I trust your as shocked as I am.

Hopefully Weiss will get to the bottom of this.

I believe this may be related to the jewish temple that LIEberman belongs to.

Can you imagine supporting someone for President that belongs to such a temple?

This is their Jewish value system
1. Commitment to God.
2. Commitment to the Jewish Community.
3. Commitment to the Jewish Family.
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education.
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence.
6. Adherence to the Jewish Work Ethic.
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect.
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness".
9. Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to the Jewish Community.
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Jewish Institutions.
11. Pledge Allegiance to All Jewish Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Jewish Value System.
12. Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Jewish Value System.

See for yourself

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly and Unapologetically Jewish… Our roots in the Jewish religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are A Hebrew people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother country, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of oppression, and the long night of anti-semitism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a jewish worship service and ministries which address the Jewish Community.

eh? I think you may have missed the person's intended point.

If you follow that link you'll be taken to Barack Obama's church's website and everything that is posted here with "Jewish" in it is actually "Black" or "African" or "Christian" on the church's website.

It would appear the commenter is trying to establish a comparison of sorts. Not sure exactly what.

Obama did respond to his Church's magazine naming Farrakhan person of the year:
"I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan. I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree."

here's another thing about Lev Leveiv. He's emigrating to the UK to avoid his Israeli tax bill. there's a lot of Israeli billionaires making their way to the UK, must be their new promised land? Brits should guard their politicians jelously or god help them they'll be slaves before dawn to the guys who fund Israel centric lobbies, much like our congress.

Don't worry Sami – soon we will all be slaves to the Gulf Arabs and the Chinese, if we aren't already.

Phil:

I am pretty new to this website, and I must say I admire the way you so zealously post on topics related to Israel and America's relationship with it. Your energy is astounding.

I am also astounded by the frenzy your posts provoke. Few topics could boast such intense scrutiny as these, nor all the passion, desperation and venom displayed here. To the unfamiliar, it's shocking.

Not wanting to thrust myself into the maelstrom, I'll withhold my initial opinions.

Except for this one: Contrary to what a poster above has tried to assert, the principles of what is apparently Barack Obama's church in Chicago should not have the same impact as if they were held by a synagogue. It is patently obvious that the black experience of America and that community's current status have been fundamentally different from the Jewish experience of America and its current status, and thus the enumerated principles cannot be viewed in the same light.
