Barack Obama has been able to do something that now Israeli politician was able to do, unify the Israeli public. Of course the public is unified by their mistrust of the US President. And that mistrust continues to grow.
In early June two polls were released that showed the "Israeli on the street" feels that President Obama is bad for Israel. One poll reported that by more than a 2 to 1 margin Israelis believe that Obama's policies are bad for Israel. The other from The Fanis Research Institute, goes even further, it said that 59% of the Israeli public believe that the president of the United States tends to side, with the Arabs when it comes to the Arab Israeli conflict. 29% think Obama is Hostile to Israel.
A Mid-June Poll published by Jpost showed that only 6% Of Israelis felt that Obama was pro-Israel and 50% felt he was pro- Palestinian A War and Peace Index poll conducted by the University of Tel Aviv in early August,revealed that almost two thirds of the Israeli public feel that President Obama is anti-Israel.

Well, I’ve heard from a tourist and a Missionary who recently visited Israel and both said that everyone over there knows that 0bama is a Mozlem and doesn’t understand how we in the USofA don’t know.
Too many voters got drunk on the non-kosher spiked Obama Kool-Aid. Oyyyyyyyyyyy!
It’s amazing that he had any support in Israel to begin with!
I’m not sure how much cash we give to Israel. That last figure I heard was about $3bn per annum. IMO, that just isn’t enough for any self respecting Israeli leader to keep getting down on bended knee to the state dept and the whitehouse.
Yeah I agree with you... the editor of the Jerusalem Post said it would likely be in Israel’s best interest to cut the aid. However, if this were to happen, the Israeli left and media would bully Bibi saying that he “ruined the relationship with the Americans.”
