I looked at the White House petition site and while there were multiple anti-Israel petitions getting thousands of signatures, there were no pro-Israel petitions relevant today. So I created one:
Please sign and spread the word. We need 150 signatures before it is even visible to the public; 100,000 signatures means the White House has to respond.
July 9, 2014 3:27 pm at 3:27 pm #1023232TheGoqParticipantDone.
July 9, 2014 3:28 pm at 3:28 pm #1023233charliehallParticipantAt the moment we have 20 signatures.

July 9, 2014 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #1023237☕️coffee addictParticipantcharliehall,
the reason being is that all the people that are pro israel know that obama wont do anything for israel so they dont bother making any
July 9, 2014 4:44 pm at 4:44 pm #1023239Bookworm120ParticipantSigned! Thank you, charliehall, for setting that petition up.
July 9, 2014 5:32 pm at 5:32 pm #1023241dial427436MemberYour Torah and tefillah have more power than signatures on a petition. We need to run to our King above not to our politicians.
I signed one of those petitions to kick Justin Beiber out of the country, it had more than enough signatures for presidential review. Not sure what happened with that one.
July 9, 2014 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm #1023242Bookworm120Participant@dial427463 – Aw, I remember hearing about that petition. Not sure why I never got around to signing it…. 😀
Good point, by the way – it is so much easier to take our concerns to the omnipresent King of the universe, not the human president of one country.
July 9, 2014 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm #1023243pixelateMemberThere’s no reason to kick JB out of the US. We have worse of our own, let alone one Canadian. Now to do the same thing the UK has done with Michael Savage, I’d sign in a flash. I think he’s more dangerous than Sandra fluke.
July 9, 2014 10:03 pm at 10:03 pm #1023244sm29ParticipantA good thing about a petition is that it shows the solidarity and support of the Jewish people. It doesn’t do much physically however, being that the president doesn’t care. We basically stand alone.
But we have each other and Hashem and that’s what counts. Lets continue to do what we can to help our brothers and sisters – We can bring redemption, may it come soon

Those are not about the Gaza War.
“all the people that are pro israel know that obama wont do anything for israel”
As long as the anti-Israel petitions have thousands more signatures than this one, yes, there is little incentive for Obama to do anything.
Currently the pro-Israel petition has 44 signatures. There are more than 44 people who regularly comment in this Coffee Room! Are there really that many Neturei Karta supporters here?

July 10, 2014 12:34 am at 12:34 am #1023250☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantJbaldy22, can you see your signature on the site?
July 10, 2014 4:22 am at 4:22 am #1023251charliehallParticipant“The page said that I successfully signed it, but my initials didn’t show up.”
It sometimes takes some time. I think they must have used the same contractor that they used for the national Obamacare site.
July 10, 2014 4:23 am at 4:23 am #1023252charliehallParticipantWe are now at 47 signatures. We need to do better than one per hour!
July 10, 2014 4:45 am at 4:45 am #1023253jbaldy22MemberDY
signature does not appear on the site very strange.
July 10, 2014 10:48 am at 10:48 am #1023254charliehallParticipantWe are now at 96 signatures. Good work! Keep sharing it. And if anyone has any contacts with any of the major Jewish organizations, please let them know about it!
July 10, 2014 12:12 pm at 12:12 pm #1023255nishtdayngesheftParticipantI find it Ironic that someone who thinks the only problem with the NY Slimes is that they reported the WMD in Iraq and that they sold WQXR would ask us to sign a petition, allegedly in Support of Israel.
July 10, 2014 6:58 pm at 6:58 pm #1023257charliehallParticipantnishtdayngesheft,
If your hatred of me is so great that you want to throw over five million Jews in Israel under the bus, you might want to reread why the second beit hamikdash was destroyed.
And if you think that the petition isn’t in support of Israel, either you have not read the text, or you don’t understand the English language.
July 10, 2014 7:27 pm at 7:27 pm #1023259charliehallParticipantWe now have 156 signatures. The petition is now visible to the public. Thank you to everyone who has signed, and keep sharing it!!!
July 10, 2014 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #1023260BostonerParticipantSigned and posted to Facebook for others to sign.
July 10, 2014 9:00 pm at 9:00 pm #1023261👑RebYidd23ParticipantAnd aren’t you hating back?
July 10, 2014 9:25 pm at 9:25 pm #1023262☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCharlie, you’re welcome. Honestly, I’m skeptical about the value of White House petitions, but once it’s up, I figured I’d sign.
By the way, you were right, it took quite a few hours, but my signature is visible. I laughed at your line about the site being put up by the same people as the Obama Care site.
July 10, 2014 9:27 pm at 9:27 pm #1023263sm29ParticipantIf anything, we’ll show the government we mean business. Lets keep up the good work
July 10, 2014 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm #1023264☕️coffee addictParticipantAs long as the anti-Israel petitions have thousands more signatures than this one, yes, there is little incentive for Obama to do anything.
as long as Obama does whatever he wants the petitions are meaningless
believe me, if there was a petition to have Obama stop playing golf for the rest of his term, and it got 100,000 signatures he still wouldn’t stop
July 10, 2014 10:02 pm at 10:02 pm #1023265dial427436Member100,000 signatures means that he will have the pleasure of reviewing what Americans are complaining about today, not necessarily doing anything about it. Do you really think if 100,000 Americans sign a petition all will change? What is the percentage of 100,000 in the population of USA?
July 10, 2014 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #1023266popa_bar_abbaParticipantbelieve me, if there was a petition to have Obama stop playing golf for the rest of his term, and it got 100,000 signatures he still wouldn’t stop
I’m kind of burnt out of these petitions. I plan to sign this one when I can figure out how to get into my account. But I’m really only doing it to make people (incl. Charlie) feel good about it.
Not only do they have no effect, Obama is too pathetic and cowardly to even validate anyone’s opinion by saying something like, “I understand why this is important to you, but I think these competing things are more important.”
July 10, 2014 10:08 pm at 10:08 pm #1023267IvduEsHashemBsimchaParticipantSigned.
July 10, 2014 10:13 pm at 10:13 pm #1023268👑RebYidd23ParticipantIs there such a petition?
July 10, 2014 10:19 pm at 10:19 pm #1023269👑RebYidd23ParticipantSadly, most of the petitions are jokes.
July 10, 2014 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm #1023270nishtdayngesheftParticipantCharlie,
A bit arrogant are you, thinking that my dislike of your phoniness is throwing 5,000,000 Jews under the bus.
These petitions unfortunately mean less than nothing, look at the responses provided by this deplorable President and the White House to petitions that have received over 100,000 signatures.
BTW, you have no idea whether or not I did or did not sign. I have even stopped by rallies where Avi Weiss was, I just made sure to leave before he started talking.
July 10, 2014 10:37 pm at 10:37 pm #1023271☕️coffee addictParticipantexactly dial and poppa, there is no point to the site, except showing that obama “cares”
July 10, 2014 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1023272👑RebYidd23ParticipantAt least sign to show your support, even if Obama won’t do anything.
July 10, 2014 10:49 pm at 10:49 pm #1023273☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantActually, you no longer need to log in to sign a petition, unless you want to keep track of what you’ve signed.
July 10, 2014 10:58 pm at 10:58 pm #1023274☕️coffee addictParticipantrebyidd,
i daven to show my support, at least that can help
July 10, 2014 11:18 pm at 11:18 pm #1023275charliehallParticipant“And aren’t you hating back?”
My response was too harsh. I apologize.
But I still don’t like the fact that commenters here are trying to hijack this thread. I would have thought that supporting Israel would have been noncontroversial.
July 10, 2014 11:52 pm at 11:52 pm #1023276☕️coffee addictParticipantcharlie,
supporting israel is noncontroversial
its whitehouse.gov thats controversial
July 11, 2014 12:50 am at 12:50 am #1023277popa_bar_abbaParticipantOk, I signed. To show my support to my fellow Jews.
July 11, 2014 1:43 am at 1:43 am #1023278jewishfeminist02MemberIt takes two minutes of your time. Probably less than the amount of time it takes you to argue about whether or not it’s productive. Just sign the #$&@ thing. It can’t hurt and may help.
July 11, 2014 4:27 am at 4:27 am #1023279☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI did sign it; now can I argue about whether or not it’s productive? 🙂
July 11, 2014 9:09 am at 9:09 am #1023280ruvainParticipantI signed it about 10 hours and sent the conformation back. My initials still dont show up.
July 11, 2014 1:15 pm at 1:15 pm #1023281dial427436MemberI signed it with pleasure, but all should know that this isn’t what is going to save our brothers and sisters in The Holy Land. It’s the mindset I disagree with, too many times do we run and blame others when we should be blaming ourselves and running to The One above. You are correct it may help but there is way too much emphasis on political matters than actual avodas Hashem. Anyone who believes in the Torah would agree that our tefillos can do anything!!!
July 13, 2014 3:18 am at 3:18 am #1023282charliehallParticipantWe now have 792 signatures. Thank you to everyone who has signed. Please spread the word even more!
July 13, 2014 3:31 am at 3:31 am #1023283☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant800 at last count. Probably 700 of them Joseph.
July 13, 2014 1:25 pm at 1:25 pm #1023284👑RebYidd23ParticipantOne of them was me.
