Obama Rewrites His Record on Israel
PJMedia ^ | March 3, 2012 | Anne Bayefsky

Posted on 03/04/2012 10:53:16 AM PST by yoe

On the eve of a meeting between President Obama and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president has orchestrated the publication of his most revealing interview yet on the state of relations between the two countries. Instead of bolstering his pro-Israel image, however, the interview is proof-positive of his dangerous animus towards the Jewish state and its elected leaders.

The interview with The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg took place earlier this week but was released only today. In it, the president exasperatedly asked:

“Why is it that despite me never failing to support Israel on every single problem that they’ve had over the last three years, that there are still questions about that?”

To which Goldberg solicitously responded: “That’s a good way to phrase it.” The president replied: “There is no good reason to doubt me on these issues.”

Let me count the ways.

[snip] During the interview the president claimed to “have Israel’s back” at the United Nations, among other places. The administration’s actions at the UN allegedly corroborate that his “relationship [with Israel] is very functional and the proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

[snip] When you look at what I’ve done with respect to … fighting back against delegitimization of Israel, whether at the [UN] Human Rights Council, or in front of the General Assembly, or during the Goldstone Report, or after the flare-up involving the flotilla — the truth of the matter is that the relationship has functioned very well.

Actually, the truth is that President Obama has done more to legitimize the delegitimizers of Israel than any other president in the history of the Jewish state.

He's damaged the relationship more than any president in Israel's history.

This arrogant Marxist will hopefully implode fairly shortly......he doesn't even try to cover his lies...Obama just lies...any White President would have been impeached by now.....

A good chunk of the population will consider this a fact because it came out of his mouth. If you brought up the point about BOzo wanting Israel to go back to its pre-67 borders you wouldn’t gain any traction.

GOLDBERG: Wait, in four words, is that your message to the prime minister -- we've got Israel's back?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: That is not just my message to the prime minister, that's been my message to the Israeli people, and to the pro-Israel community in this country, since I came into office. It's hard for me to be clearer than I was in front of the UN General Assembly, when I made a more full-throated defense of Israel and its legitimate security concerns than any president in history -- not, by the way, in front of an audience that was particularly warm to the message. So that actually won't be my message. My message will be much more specific, about how do we solve this problem.

Hey, Israel, you're about to get a first hand experience in the @Delphi Technique.

No it is not pretty. His First Week on Office He gives Gaza Arabs more than 20 million dollars in aid. His first official phone call to Abbas. Treacherous bastard! This last week Odumbo warns against a premature strike on Iran
All the while Iran’s president is yelling that Israel will be annihilated. We will remember in November! Thanks for reminding us of the resident Evil.

The REAL problem here is that all too many Obamanites are, for all intended purposes, illiterate - they either can’t read or choose to only listen to sound bites. The result is that they believe every word out the annointed one’s mouth because they don’t have the knowledge to refute it (to actually think for themselves and allow themselves to compare what they hear with the facts). It appears to me that Chairman O knows this and capitalizes upon it.

To counteract this, we MUST make sure that the truth gets out - through conservative media and by presenting the truth every chance we get.
