Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be addressing the Republican National Convention this week “in his personal capacity,” according to the State Department, but the decision to do so while on a visit to Israel has upset some Jewish Democrats, who see it as a ploy to politicize the U.S.-Israel relationship.Pompeo arrived in Israel early Monday, at the start of a five-day trip that will also take him to the United Arab Emirates and two other Arab countries – Bahrain and Sudan – that are predicted to follow the UAE in its recent historic decision to normalize ties with Israel.In an unusual move, Pompeo is among the keynote speakers for Correction*

Dems see it as a 'ploy to politicize the US-Israel relationship'? Who are they kidding? Other than the ultra-orthodox, I haven't seen American Jews as supportive of Israel EXCEPT when politically expedient. Generations of US pols from both parties have made a pretense of supporting Israel but only within the context of the price and availability of oil. We have pandered to Arab (Palestinian) intransigence and winked at their violence much as is being done with BLM behavior now.

What Jew could possibly be a democrat? Democrats HATE Israel, but then, they're not crazy about America, either.

That is not news, just another in a long line of bogus Democrat complaints. As a US citizen, while acting in an off duty private capacity, Mike Pompeo, just like any other American has the First Amendment right to give his opinion on any issue, including US Presidential politics.

#4, apparently the majority of Jewish people vote Democrat and have for many decades. It never made any sense to me, either, but those are apparently the facts.

They are just jealous because they did not think of this brilliant move. Neither Obama or Hillary could credibly do what Pompeo is doing.

Oh, dear.
Are they all wee-wee'd up? Do they need new Depends?
Jews have been part of the Democratic coalition since 1933. It is tradition, don't you know. Dems never support Israel, it is always Palestine. Dems never support Jews, they are always rich evil people. But if you are Jewish and Conservative you are automatically a traitor.
Hardy har har har.
And what exact Dem move to disinvest in Israel can you name which was NOT political? Jews are like Blacks. They are either Dem or traitor.

Are they upset because they didn't think of it first? They did just have a virtual convention, after all.

Trump staffer eats breakfast. Group Y is outraged.
Trump pets a puppy. Reporters attack him for it.
Trump's son walks to helicopter. Media goes ballistic.
ANYONE associated with Trump does ANYTHING at all.....and the Enemedia, or some particular subgroup of Dems gets upset.
Scroom.

Oh, no, he hurt their feelings!!!!
And since lie-berals are incapable of understanding logic, reason, or facts, hurting their feelings is the worst thing you can do to them!!!!!
Israel has never had a better friend in the White House than President Donald Trump!!!! It's sad that these Demon-Rats are so blinded by their feelings that they can't appreciate and respect that!!!!!

Democrats upset. I call that Monday.
Jewish Democrats no more identify with Israel than US Catholics identify with Rome. Or Lutherans identifying with Germany.
Jewish Democrats are as fairhful to their professed religion as Pelosi is to Catholicism.

"Democrat" and "Jewish" should be an oxymoron--much like "Democrat" and "Catholic." Sadly...no.

Any Jew who really cares for Israel like me-could care less about WHERE the Secretary speaks from. Those complaining ALL supported Zero and Frenchy Kerry and Hilldebeast and Schmucky Chucky and their dirty deal with Iran. SO their complaints should be ignored. Our President will not get any of their votes anyway. That disgusts me but its true.

As much as democraps disrespect Jews, I'm surprised there are any democrat Jews left...but I guess all races have their share of stupid people...you'd think the riots would bring back memories of krystalnacht....

Jewish Democrats, who see it as a ploy to politicize the U.S.-Israel relationship including Halie Soifer had better grab their drawers because what the rest of us recall is that as Sec. of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton was everywhere at once, including her few appearances on the so-called campaign trail. But what puzzles me even more is why so many Jews in the US hate Israel so much. You do NOT give up your citizenship when you join a president's administration, nor do you forget who you are nor how you got there.

Considering many people have not heard the good news about UAE and Israel normalizing relations, which is a very good thing.
More people need to know about this very positive development in the Middle East.

"_____________________upsets Jewish Democrats"
Wonder how many of these there will be.
I have lots of UWS and UES Jewish friends. I cannot discuss politics with them. I know conservative and Orthodox Jews. ALL vote Republican. ALL are happy with what Trump has done. This is to get out their vote. If it upsets those on the Upper West and Upper East Sides who still vote against their interests, no big loss.

As Jackie Mason has often said, Jews live like rich white Republicans and vote like poor black Democrats. Maybe Uncle Joe can include them in his next comment about the monolith of opinion of that group (like blacks, but certainly not Hispanics).
