It’s a bid puzzling. I suspect Israel is a long term issue for Obama, and he thought he saw an opportunity. Particularly since his “peace” negotiations have been such an obvious failure.

I don't know if you are familiar with Sabeel, a Palestinian "liberation theology" group that is very anti-Israeli. They host tours designed to convince Westerners that Isreal is oppressing the Palis. They host conferences and meetings in the US that present Pali propaganda. They have planted deep routes in America, mainly through liberal churches, the same ones pursuing divestment policies.

Obama's "former" church is a Sabeel church. That's where he got his perspective on Israel.

There hasn’t been a shining light (or even a dim bulb) in this Administration in foreign policy since day one with Benghazi Clinton. The only thing consistent about this Administration is its consistent incompetence and string of consecutive failures.
