This is a rehash of al the talking points that have been and continue to be used. Much of the concern within the Jewish community is based on the misinformation and rumors that have been rampant on the internet since early on.

The Jewish community is far from monolithic. Those who are conservative and fundamentalist most likely will share Mr. Brooks views. Those who are progressive will not. We need not fear an Obama administration as being anything but friendly toward Israel and seeing Israel as a great ally.

Politicians should also recognize that Jewish voters like all voters have more than one item on their agenda. Don't pander to us.

Please dont speak for all Jewish voters. As an American Jew its seems to me all my Jewish friends will be voting for Borack,including former Mayor Koch.
