Obama hostile to Israel
Newsmax ^ | 6/22/2009 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 06/22/2009 7:17:46 PM PDT by Kansas58

Jewish Leader: Obama May Be 'Most Hostile President to Israel’ "President Barack Obama’s refusal to take a stand on protests in Iran stands in sharp contrast to demands he has made on Israel, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says in a Newsmax interview.

“I think he should take a strong stand to support the protesters in Iran who want to transform that society into one that promotes democracy and human rights,” Klein says. ”But while meddling in Israel’s affairs and making specific demands, he explicitly states he refuses to meddle in Iran’s policies and has said almost nothing.”

Klein says leaders of Jewish organizations are rethinking their support of Obama in light of his attitude toward Israel.

“There are many leaders in the organized Jewish world who have privately discussed this issue with me, and say they are deeply concerned about Obama’s actions and policies toward Israel, and now they’re rethinking their support for Obama during the campaign and the election,” says Klein, whose organization of 30,000 members is the oldest pro-Israel group in the country.

Based on the president’s speech in Cairo on June 4 and many of his foreign policy appointments, Klein thinks Obama “may become the most hostile president to Israel ever.”

No. For two reasons.

The Jews that voted for Obama don't care about Israel in the first place.

The Jews who care about Israel didn't vote for Obama.

No, sadly they will capitulate to Nazis once again. The only thing different about Obama is that he is 1/2 African while Hitler was 100% Austrian.

I agree — it was their chance to vote for the first black President and that came first without ever bothering to understand what he was all about. Shame on the media for covering for the Muslim.

All the signs were there prior to the election. ALL of them. ...most prominently, 1) his 20-year membership to a "church" that regularly spewed nonsense about "Zionists"; 2) his endorsement for President by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Islamic terrorist groups; and 3) his close associations with individual Islamic terrorist sympathizers.

Then again, the MSM didn't tell the electorate about any of this stuff, so unless one watched FNC and/or read honest internet sources one would've been in the dark.

Exactly!
Obama pretended to care about Israel.
Now, Obama is doing everything he can think of, to hurt Israel.

Obama was a Rorshack candidate, voters saw in him what they wanted to see.

Obama will not be able to pull off being a Rorshack President!

His "pastor" of 20 years did not feel that way!

And he was in kahoot with Louis "Calypso" Farrakhan!!

The D-voting Jews have NO excuse, whatsoever!!!

Weimar Republic...It’s the same thing all over again...
they’re “special” but have power (corrupt) and money.

It would be interesting to see what the Jewish politicians who campaigned for Obama among Jews would have to say (e.g., Ed Koch, Robert Wechsler, etc.)

Obama belongs to the Third World camp that believes Israel is a cruel and tyrannical nation.

False. I personally know many Jewish libs who care very much about Israel but voted for Obama anyway. Why? Because A) they were either in denial about or ignorant of Obama's anti-Israel associations; B) they despised GWB to such a degree that they were going to vote opposition party no matter what; and C) being libs, they heartily agree with the vast majority of Obama's politics.

the fact is that anyone who SAYS they “care very much about Israel” could not have voted for Obama BECAUSE of all of his associations with anti-Israel groups and people.

As I already mentioned, many of them were/are ignorant of Obama's numerous anti-Israel friends and associates because of the MSM blackout of such news. The MSM, as you know, was essentially the propaganda arm of Obama's campaign. ...just as it's now working in that capacity for his admin.

Saying “I care very much about Israel” doesn't equate with really caring.

It's not just words -- many lib Jews send lots of money over there. Point is, they care but they're extremely misguided, believing (erroneously, of course) that it's possible for the Arab squatters to negotiate in good faith and that giving up land for peace makes sense and is beneficial to Israel. ...despite all evidence to the contrary. So just like Israeli libs and all libs everywhere, American Jewish libs are experts at ignoring reality.

Plus, American lib Jews can disagree with Obama on certain points about Israeli policy yet are so smitten with his domestic liberal agenda that it overrides those disagreements. Iow, their liberalism trumps all else. Their "religion" is abortion, essentially. ...and knee-jerk anti-Republicanism.
