So how does a Jew who voted for Obama handle the
Passover (Last Supper) seder next week?
This is a problem because the Passover dinner has an important portion dedicated to a statement that has been made by Jews every year for 2,000 years. That is a statement made more than a billion times by Jews. 'Next year may we be in Jerusalem!'
A Democratic president has said what parts of
Jerusalem HE and Hillary Clinton believe Jews can't build in. So how
will Jews who voted for him respond? Will they plan to bring tents to
Jerusalem? Will they accept an Arab sector that doesn't let Jews enter?

I have a bias in this matter. When I was in Israel in 1958 and 1959 the Arabs would not permit me, any Jew, any Israeli or any American to enter 3/4ths of Jerusalem and especially the Old City that was founded and built by David and Solomon.
I'll never forget that any more than I'll forget the Shoah and European Jew -hatred.
Maybe there is a conflict between having voted for Obama and calling yourself a Jew.
