#1 this is probably not going to affect the health care vote

however, it will take a toll on the Democrat fund raising for this year and maybe the next two also.

Some of the big givers to the Dem party (DNC, Congressional funds) are pro Israel.

#2 only if the Jewish Democrats are willing to make the Donks pay for their perfidy

#3 for example, Haim Saban (co creator of Might Morphin Power Rangers) has been a mega giver to the Dems (and raised lots and lots to the Hillary campaign in 2008) but I wouldn't be surprised if he sits out the Obama Admin (in fact, I'll bet he has called Hillary to complain).

My big suspicion? They like to pretend that they're pro-Israel.

_Just_ like the Democrats like to pretend they're pro-strong economy, pro-job creation, pro-health-care....

They probably wake up in the morning and tell themselves they're only trying to save Israel from those insane fanatics trying to build a couple of apartment blocks.
