WATCHWOMAN QUESTION? Not only did Obama betray Israel by saying they have to give back to Muslims all the lands won in the War of 1967, Obama also announced $1 billion in debt forgiveness for Egypt and $1 billion in loan guarantees to finance infrastructure.  — Please answer me this question?  Why do Jews consistently and overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, including Obama?  Democrats consistently and overwhelmingly cast their votes in favor of Muslims who want to destroy all of Israel and all the Jews.  It makes no sense to me why Jews support Obama and Democrats! ▬ Donna Calvin
