The president's approval rating has fallen to an astonishingly low 4 percent in the Holy Land. As his envoy jumpstarts peace talks, Richard Wolffe reports on Obama's plans to win the ally back.
Is Obama surrounded by self-hating Jews? That was one of the most ridiculous—and yet perversely telling—stories to emerge from the last several weeks of Israeli media coverage.
Not because the president is surrounded by Jewish aides who want to sabotage their own identity. Far from it. David Axelrod openly reveres the old Jewish deli in Chicago known as Manny’s. He has a sign in his West Wing office saying Barack Obama in Hebrew script. And Rahm Emanuel could no more hate his Jewish and Israeli ties than he could the vocabulary of the Anglo-Saxons.
On those terms, Axelrod and Emanuel are self-hating self-haters.
Still, one of the leading Israeli newspapers, Ha’aretz, reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyanhu was so paranoid that he described both Axelrod and Emanuel as “self-hating Jews.” The White House says that the Israeli government denied the story and dismisses the idea, with plenty of reason.

Those 4% are all Moslems...
Obama hated Israel first.
My experience teaches me that Jews always give the other guy a first chance. And that’s pretty dangerous for them, considering their history.
Obama came out of the gate hating Jews and Israel.
Just like his buddy Zelaya, who believes that Hitler should have finished the job.
HATE! HATE! HATE! Everyone HATES OBAMA! The Tea Party folks HATE OBAMA! The Angry Mob HATES OBAMA! Conservatives HATE OBAMA! Israel HATES OBAMA! Sarkozy (sob, sob) HATES OBAMA! The Pope HATES OBAMA! You and me HATE OBAMA! We’re all racists, and we all HATE OBAMA!
Why does Israel hate Obama? This is too simple. Israel hates Obama because they know Obama hates Israel.
With all the wacky anti-semite international leaders praising Obummer and his bossing around of Israel telling them they can’t build on their own settlements no wonder his Israeli approval rating is dismal.
Point well made.
And American Jews (who vote)?
The reasons are self-evident.
The bigger and far more inexplicable question is why American Jews don't.
Leftism = anti-semitism! Glove meets hand!
I'm jealous.
K Thanks for the laugh!
You are highlighting pretty well one of the main libtard hoax and vicious pathetic little mantra.
BECK COULTER LIMBAUGH...could make fun with that
As long as Israel understands that the American people feel the same way, it’s fine with me.
I wish his approval rating were 4% in this country. It should be.
Israel hates OBAMAO because they have understood WHO HE IS
78% of those liberal Israeli-hating American jews voted for the muslim along with 50+% of fake Kennedy Catholics, 97% of African Americans who he screwed over in Chicago.
The vast majority of American Jews still love him. Arafat’s corpse could run for office and if he had a D after his name they would be his boy. Fools.
I support Isreal and Bibi but have outright contempot for the scum who voted Hussein in. These same people hated Bush though he was a strong supporter of Israel.
Uh, being Jewish is a little more than liking corned beef on rye. Wolffe is such a dope.
