President Obama's abysmal attitude toward the State of Israel and his humiliating treatment of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is shocking. In the Washington Post on March 24th, Jackson Diehl wrote, "Obama has added more poison to a U.S.-Israeli relationship that already was at its lowest point in two decades. Tuesday night the White House refused to allow non-official photographers record the president's meeting with Netanyahu; no statement was issued afterward. Netanyahu is being treated as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator, needed for strategic reasons but conspicuously held at arms length. That is something the rest of the world will be quick to notice and respond to."
I have not heard or read statements criticizing the president by New York Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand or many other supporters of Israel for his blatantly hostile attitude toward Israel and his discourtesy displayed at the White House.
President George W. Bush made it a point of protecting Israel at the United Nations and the Security Council wielding the U.S. veto against the unfair actions and sanctions that Arab countries sought to impose to cripple and, if possible, destroy, the one Jewish nation in the world. Now, in my opinion, based on the actions and statements by President Obama and members of his administration, there is grave doubt among supporters of Israel that President Obama can be counted on to do what presidents before him did - protect our ally, Israel. The Arabs can lose countless wars and still come back because of their numbers. If Israel were to lose one, it would cease to exist.

It seems that at least some Jewish Democrats are awakening to their mistake in believing that Obama would support Israel despite his numerous anti-Israel associates.
This could be huge, if large numbers of highly influential Jewish Democrats and other Democratic Israel supporters follow Koch and break with Obama.
Poor Ed. One of a long line of to be disillusioned Jews who voted for Obama.
Schumer is one of the biggest POS in Congress. Gillibrand of course is his lap dog.
The headline should be “Obama’s Treatment of America is Shocking”
‘Obama’s Treatment of Israel is Shocking’
Really? Not to any of us that have been paying attention...
Obama’s a racist, and if not a Muslim, he sure acts like one.
....good for Ed Koch for standing up for Israel!....American Jewish voters ought to be doing the same...their acceptance of Obama’s behavior is a sad thing to see.
‘Obama’s Treatment of Israel is Shocking’
No it’s not, not at all.

Nonsense. There’s nothing “shocking” about a Moslem’s being anti-Israel.
Sorry, Ed. I share your outrage but there’s absolutely nothing shocking about it. Twas to be expected.

Hey Ed votes have consequences!!!
Tough s**t Ed - you voted for him and supported him. Did 78% of American (liberal) Jews not get the memo on how he loved Islamic prayers in Indonesia? Evil fools.
You voted for these traitors Ed.
