Obama in NY says Israel is most important ally
Politico ^ | 11/30/11 | MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 11/30/2011 5:12:14 PM PST by ColdOne

The AP reports that President Obama tried to assuage Jewish supporters during a fundraising stop in New York hosted by a prominent Jewish donor, who had been billed among prospective fundraisers ahead of time as a chance for a "substantive and candid" discussion about concerns in the Jewish community.

Chief among them has been Israel and lingering questions among some Jewish voters about the administration's commitment to Israel. Continue Reading

When the fundraiser's host, American Jewish Congress chairman Jack Rosen, mentioned "concerns" about the ties between Israel and the U.S., Obama declared, "We don't compromise when it comes to Israel's security."

According to the AP report, Obama said no ally surpasses Israel in importance to the U.S., which Rosen followed up by saying the president's administration has been the most supportive ever of Israeli security.

Canada? Heck, last year it was FRANCE that was our greatest ally.

There is nothing that this guy would not say to gain money, power and votes.

Muslims, even closet ones, use lies and deception to advance Islam over the infidels. Look at the actions, not the words.

Obama reminds me of Judas, who kissed Jesus before having Him arrested.

Well, Israel is not an “important” ally. Much too small for that. Obama, as usual, is pandering. That said, Israel is a state that shares our values and that can be very helpful in the struggle against Islamist terror.

Yesterday there was another thread started with a short NY Post article referencing this fund raiser hosted by Jack Rosen. You didn't have to be clairvoyant to predict that Obama would say there what Politico now reports him as having said.

These Jewish 'Rat fatcats in attendance are so darn gullible and naive, if indeed they really care about the future of Israel. They are probably more interested in crony capitalism and benefit financially from a cozy relationship with Obama's administration.

Democrat Jews need to face the sad reality that the group [that] now controls the Democrat Party, the New Left, has left the Jews behind and turned their backs on them.

Well put. And this is nothing new, it's been becoming more and more apparent for decades.

Just compare the current crop of Republican presidential candidates (except Ron Paul, who is a neo-isolationist) with Obama on Israel. Or compare the two major parties' platform planks on the Middle East over the last several presidential election cycles.

The logical thing for these Democrat Jews to do is to quit the 'Rat party and come over to the GOP. But, like drug addicts, too many find it impossible to kick their habit of supporting a party that could ultimately destroy them.

Hopefully, the election of a Republican to the House in a historically Democrat district with a large Jewish population (NY-9) might be the beginning of a long overdue shift.

There's a word for these JINOs... "Kapos."

I want to see the tape of Obama which the L.A. Times is concealing with Rashid Kahlidi in which he cheers his Hamas pals.

In the first pic, what do you think he’s looking at with the properly head covered Hillary? Not to suggest that a covering would be worn by Obama as a mark of respect. As I recall his campaign sold Obama kipas, doesn’t mean he wears one.
