The Jewish Case For John McCain

This is what "Jews for McCain" say on their MySpace profile. It's definitely worth reading:


Quote from Obama's Book- "The Audacity of Hope" : "I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION. " - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Jewish Americans for McCain '08 consider Israel's protection a priority. Senator McCain has stated many times that he would protect Israel and not tolerate any attacks. With Iran's threats of building nuclear bombs, Senator McCain has made it clear that if he is elected President, he will allow Israel to protect themselves and will assist them in the fight against these Islamic extremists planning on mass murder. On the other hand, Senator Obama has already stated that he would not tolerate Israel fighting Iran back and believes that America should "stand back and provide and example of peace". To create peace, you must fight off the ones planning on destroying it! Sitting back and allowing Israel to be wiped off the map, is not the peaceful thing to do. Senator Obama is all words, no action. All of a sudden when he needed the Jewish vote, he starts saying he supports Israel. Yet, he still admitted that he would meet with Iranian leaders, while both Senator Clinton and Senator McCain said they would not meet with them until their threats had stopped. In additon, Senator Obama still has not claimed that he would engage in full protection of Israel! He has only stated "I support Israel" after his advisors told him that he needed the Jewish vote. Well, Actions speak louder than words and we cannot let Israel be destroyed by sitting back and doing nothing. We are not racist, nor are we against Obama because we believe that he is "muslim". However, we are accusing him of not taking action to help Israel because of his radical liberal beliefs of staying out of war. Sitting back is the same thing as allowing Israel to be destroyed. It is allowing a second Holocaust to happen. Israel was created so that the Jews could feel secure and know that no Holocaust would ever happen again.

NEVER AGAIN. Never again should the Jews be mass murdered. You cannot be a good commander in chief if you do not protect your important allies!

Senator Obama does not have the experience to lead this nation as commander in chief, while McCain does. Foreign policy is Senator Obama's weakest point and now is not the time to be taking risks on some young idealistic rookie. While many Jews are democrats (including the ones who created this page and Senator Joe Lieberman), we understand that Israel's safety is imperative right now and voting for Senator McCain ensures us of this. In addition, it pleases the democratic Jews to know that Senator McCain is more of a liberal Republican (so much that many conservative Republicans do not like him). His close friendships with many democrats (such as the Clintons) proves this. While, most of us Jewish Democrats wanted Senator Clinton to be President in '08 and admit that she was our first choice, we understand that there is only one candidate right now who will fight for Israel's safety. The fact that there is a democratic majority in Congress also keeps our minds at peace knowing that they will not allow McCain to make any extreme Republican changes. This is not just a group for Jewish Americans, this is a group for those who support Israel. You do not need to be a religious Jew, you may just appreciate your heritage, your family, your people and that is why you are supporting Israel. You don't need to be Jewish at all to want to stand up for one of America's most important allies. This is not only defending Israel, but it is defending the United States in the long run. By not tolerating any attack on Israel from these Islamic extremists, you are not tolerating terrorism. PLEASE VOTE MCCAIN '08 TO PROTECT ISRAEL!!!!!


The Jewish Connecticut Democratic senator Joe Lieberman, decided to endorse McCain because he considers him "the most capable to be commander in chief on day one of his administration, and the most capable of uniting the country so that we can prevail against Islamic extremism," a Lieberman aide said earlier.


From Israel National News:

Why should strongly traditional Democratic Jews change and vote for the Republican John McCain? Because he is the best candidate, with a pro-Israel bias and a proven track record, with military experience and knowledge. In other words, he is the real thing. Not a bunch of buzz words like "change" and "hope". McCain has a solid foundation and groundwork to build upon. He is the genuine real deal. Not a bunch of rhetoric, but solid substance.

Throughout his 25 years as a US Congressman and Senator, John McCain has clearly demonstrated a breadth and depth of support on critical issues; not only with his words, but with his actions. He is no newcomer to these issues, nor even to the Jewish state. Sen. McCain has visited Israel many times, dating back to his days as a Naval officer and as recently as March 2008.

Sen. McCain has consistently and publicly advocated for critical and necessary legislation, even when it was less popular. Early in his political career, during 1985, Sen. McCain sponsored legislation urging Egypt to honor the Camp David Accords - Egypt’s historic peace agreement with Israel, in which Israel gave up land equivalent geographically to three times the total land mass of Israel in exchange for peace.

During 1987, he supported Senate Resolution 205, signed into law by President Reagan, which called for the overturn of the United Nation’s infamous proclamation equating “Zionism with Racism” sponsored by the Arab League of Nations.

During 1991, when Israel showed considerable restraint by not retaliating against Saddam Hussein as SCUD missiles rained down upon civilians under siege, Sen. McCain supported the resolution recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself and America’s promise to help Israel maintain its safety, security and freedom.

Sen. McCain also stood up to leaders and political pressure within his own political party to tie together loans and funding to Israel.

During 2000, Sen. McCain strongly advocated the renewal of the Iran-Syria Sanctions Act.

Sen. McCain enjoys an excellent relationship with many Israeli elected leaders and officials, including but not limited to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister (and former Prime Minister) Ehud Barak.

Sen. McCain understands and can discuss fluently the history of Israel ’s wars, the geography of the borders, and the moral values at the very core of the strategic alliance between the US and Israel.

But it is perhaps Sen. McCain’s grasp and great understanding of the serious threat of the spread of radical Islam that has made him such a staunch supporter and ally of Israel.

Sen. McCain clearly stands apart from his opponent Barack Hussein Obama. His clarity is evident in both actions and words. Responding to the rants and raves of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, McCain made his position clear: “I intend to make unmistakably clear to Iran, we will not permit a government that espouses the destruction of the State of Israel as its fondest wish and pledges undying enmity to the United States to possess the weapons to advance their malevolent ambitions.”

According to the former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate and Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT), “John McCain has proven that we can trust him to do what is right for the country, not only when it is easy, but when it is hard; to do what is necessary, not only when it is popular, but when it is not; and to tell us the truth, not only when it is easy to hear, but when it is not.... He will push all of us to work together to solve our biggest problems, and defeat our most dangerous enemies.”

Time and time again, McCain proves both with actions and words his strong support for Israel. And not just when it is convenient and politically correct to do so,(like Obama).

One can clearly see McCain’s proven track record shows he is the best candidate for America ’s Commander-in-Chief and President of the United States. McCain is the real deal for leadership in turbulent times. A true blue friend and staunch supporter of the American Jewish community and Israel.
