This YNET article is very telling.
It telegraphs precisely who Israel and AIPAC thinks will be the best US president for Israel, not for the US.
If this 2008 election is about anything, it must be about which candidates will put the US first, second, and third in its thinking.
The current administration has not done that, and the catastrophic wars in Iraq, Afghanistan (and perhaps, soon, Iran) demonstrates clearly the outcome of an "Israel first" geopolitical mentality.
The wording of the quoted article infers that New York Jews are not white. That's cute.
Your conclusion is specious, since Florida Jews tend to be ex-New Yorkers, and they like Hillary more likely for being a New York senator. They also liked, and voted for her husband. It is totally incorrect to think that, "It telegraphs precisely who Israel and AIPAC thinks will be the best US president for Israel, not for the US."
What about any gender centric Jewish women that vote for Hillary? If the above quote of yours was true, American Jews would all vote Republican. However, American Jews are known to be a majority of Democrats.
I'll vote for McCain hopefully, since I would like to see the U.S. in Iraq for at least 100 hundred years. Personally, I'd like to see the U.S. never leave Iraq or Afghanistan, or the entire Middle East. At least not until the oil is all used up.
