Questionable tactics from American-Jews against Mr.Obama. Opinions please?

As I was reading the news headlines here at Yahoo! World I came across this:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081004/ap_on_re_us/ne...

It's "The Obsession Project" a highly provocative DVD containing photo and sound collage with the sole purpose to show Muslims as bad, or dangerous or even evil.

It was included in almost all Jewish owned American newspapers in the vast majority.

The above article states:

"Clarion Fund spokesman Gregory Ross said the group spent several million dollars in donations FROM INDIVIDUALS HE WOULD NOT NAME (!!!sic), and he said running the ad in swing states was a means of drawing media attention and not meant to influence the election's result, a move barred by federal tax law covering nonprofits."

http://www.richardsilverstein.com/tikun_olam/2008/...

When I did some further browsing I found out this:

"former Israeli diplomats…are behind the mass distribution"

"EMET’s spokesman, Ari Morgenstern, told IPS. Morgenstern is a former press officer for the Israeli embassy here…

Morgenstern told IPS that EMET was “partnered with the Clarion Fund” on what he called the “Obsession Project” which he identified as “an initiative of EMET”. He declined to name the Project’s donors…"

and it gets more interesting

"Morgenstern also declined to specify the cost of the DVD distribution, but did say, “it costs a great deal — it’s a multi-million-dollar effort.” Outside experts have estimated the cost of the operation, including reproduction and distribution, at between 15 million dollars and 50 million dollars.

Like hard-line neo-conservatives, EMET opposes any land concessions to Palestinians and takes other hard-line positions identified with Israel’s right-wing Likud Party and the ”Settler Lobby” there…"

Of course many democrats protested against this, not for their support towards the Muslims per se, but in their support for the Democrat nominee Mr.Obama himself.

My opinion about this is that it was a totally wrong move since these rabid Jews have tried to divide Americans or even demonize the Democrats as evil and categorize them as Muslim lovers.

These are moves of fanaticism that can never work in Democratic America and I think it is also a very bad investment from the Ultra-rich Jews that form the Jewish Lobby in Washington.

So I want to ask you my dear friend, to give me your clear opinion on that.

I am interested in telling me if actions of this kind are doing Israel any good or damage.

The same applies to the Diaspora Jews of course.

Thank you for your patience

Greetings.

Update:

Edit

Thank you my friends for your immediate response. The same applies to the Y mods of course.

@Z

Of course my dear friend. I strongly believe that most of the Diaspora Jews have nothing to do with this, or any other "not so fair" tactics.

I am afraid that the people behind this particular way of thinking is less than 1% of all of the Jewish people. Unfortunately the power of money counts more than the voice of the simple or average democratic person.

    Tell me who owns Hollywood and I'll tell you how many "Bad-Muslim" DVDs the Americans can have.

    Anyway this is not of my business, but I hate when I see the jews to try and spread hate using newspapers to people that really do not care too much about foreign policies.

    Mr. Morgenstern does not sound too "American" and anyway what a jew ambassador has to do in Hollywood messing around with the American Elections?

    The jew lobby must be thrown out of the White House I believe.

    Anyway I think the jews are betting on the wrong horse here, because this is the first time in the history of the last 20 years in America that so many jews will vote the Republicans.

    It's almost 50-50, can you imagine that?

    Mr.McCain sounds too much George Bush-like, although he is a war hero and somewhat smarter than George (naturally, LULz!).

    bye bye

    That's a very interesting question you posted there John and let me tell you that the jews are so confused right now that they really don't know which candidate to support.

    That's never happened before in our history as a nation.

    Jews that voted for Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., won 77 percent of the Jewish vote in the 2004 presidential election.

    A national poll released Thursday by the American Jewish Committee has Obama leading McCain 51 percent.

    Mr. Obama has the least Jewish support of any Democratic presidential candidate even less than that when Jimmy Carter faced Ronald Reagan in 1980, which was 56 percent!!!

    Political Analysis folks predict that only 30-40 percent of jews will actually vote for the Democrats at the 2008 elections.

    So I don't want to hear any crap about jews voting for Obama and if this kid wins many things are bound to change in the States.

    All for good of course.

    I think the time has come my friends.

    All of those wounds will be disinfected using Democracy as the main cure.

    The Machine is always right.

    Those Jews in America could learn a lot about the use of lies and propaganda right here.

    Also how to cry when some one points out the truth or points to the future as that DVD may be doing.

    In country founded on people that are willing to fight and die for your freedom to complain about the government they fought for or enjoy the freedoms without contributing at all. You are going to hear every opinion. That's real freedom. Something Islam is completely against.

    No they didn't go too far. Politics is open hunting. If you can't take the heat stay out.

    Islam is the horror that the DVD shows it to be.

    hey, Saturday today.

    Only smart people login here today. LuL!

    Anyways, back to you John,

    Listen first let me tell you that this is one hell of a question!

    As you already know this aint the first time this is happening.

    Only now the jews made a major blooper, trying to id all of the Democrats as pro-Muslim or anti-semites.

    I really hope to God that McCain wins those elections, altho I vote for the Democrats, only because I dont want to see my country turning against each and every jew on the face of the Earth.

    Not all of them are bad.

    Some are good and care none about hating Muslims and Arabs and that's a fact.

    Some of the posts on here sound a lot like the guy in Mr. Skull man's video. (In case you didn't watch it, I would be referring to Hitler scape-goating the Jews for all their problems). All these posts scare me. People will never learn! Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it!

    Mr. Obama has aligned himself with a lot of people who are anti-Israel. I can understand their fear of him being elected even if he personally doesn't feel that way. You can tell a lot about someone by who they associate with. Every country has the right to protect themself, and if they believe keeping Obama out of the whitehouse is one form of self-protection, then so be it. It's not like there aren't any anti-semite videos running rampant, because there are. I believe the Israeli's are also afraid of Obama's naive belief that he can somehow appease Iran and prevent them from ever attacking Israel, or funding Syria and Hezbollah to do it for them. He is comparable to the famous Neville Chamberlain, PM of England, who believed he could negotiate with Hitler. He came back to England waiving a signed peace agreement with Hitler, and then less than two weeks later, Hitler was bombing East London attempting to march his armies on Great Britain to kill more Jewish people and people in general. Luckily the Americans stepped in before it got out of control.

    Racism is very prevalent in this country but so is anti-semitism by the looks of it. :(

    Jews/Zions are so panicked out of their little heads...LOL!

    This's a pathetic desperate attempt of Zions behalf and besides, I'm not surprised. This's how Zion's propaganda works.

    You can fool a few folks for a long time.

    You can fool a lot of folks for a short time.

    But you can never fool a lot of folks for a long time.

    I think JFK said that about the jews a few decades back right?

    OK, here is my answer:

    Bad, Bad move especially during election time.

    These idiots tried to divide the US citizens in order to get some fanaticism against the Palestinians or the Iranians.

    We (I mean They) hate the Muslims so bad and feel desperate when They see that it's not working so they tried to use a hit under the belt.

    Well, I'll tell you what that's a very strong move towards a new holocaust if you ask me.

    The American minds are not able to process too much hate for so many people at such a small time period. (Famous Shyster Rich ex-Jew's quote)

    Although I am not too deep into politics, I have been hearing things about some Jewish people will try and do whatever they can to "help out" Israel.

    Too bad they used our elections to gain some attention!

    As a matter of fact I am a Democrat and I will vote for Mr. Obama in these coming elections.
