New York – Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended the Obama administration’s policy towards Israel, just days after a Republican won a local congressional election in which dissatisfaction with the president’s support for Israel became a campaign issue.

Bloomberg was asked if he has any reservations about the Obama’s Middle East policies during a press conference in Queens on Thursday. The mayor described himself as strongly connected to Israel, and added: “I think there’s nothing the president’s done or said that gives me pause to think he doesn’t understand and feel the same way.”
Bloomberg, who is Jewish, described himself as a “very strong supporter of freedom-loving peoples around the world. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. And, obviously, for religious and cultural reasons I have another connection to Israel.”
He wouldn’t be such a ‘knaaker’ if he was running for office, but since he isn’t…………
מהרסיך ומחריביך ממך יצאו.
As are all self hating Jews.
Thats politics speaking!
Obama never stated a Veto against a Palestinian country as long as he doesn’t he’s legitimating a country for terrorists.!
First stop Attacks then get a state!!!!!
This is the same self-hating Jewish Bloomberg who also pushed hard for NY State’s gay marriage bill to be passed and who proudly marches in every gay pride parade. He’s nothing more than a menuval with a lot of money and arrogance.
Great after the Jewish community’s voted for him 3 times he says this ???????????
Why did the Yidden in Borough Park roll out the red carpet for him, when he came there in 2009, when he was running for Mayor? He never showed up in Borough Park in 2006, following a civil disturbance. At least, when John V. Lindsay was Mayor, he would walk the streets of neighborhoods, whenever there was a problem.
Interesting, note his silence during this whole district 9 campaign. even former mayor koch was much more active.
He supports anything Obama says or does. He’s the same lefty intellectual. Bloomberg is the only one that doesn’t see anything wrong with opening a mosque right next to the 911 memorial, even Obama got that.
The only thing that separates Obama from a real liberal is that he believes in raising taxes for everyone. His version of taxes is fees, surcharges, and fines for everything and anything. He also corrupted every city agency so that they issue fines unjustly.
When he just begins to speak, I get the chills.
When a married out Jew defends Obama’s mistreatment of Israel I put it in perspective.
I will weigh in as a Jewish voice who feels that Mr. Obama is not doing anything that I feel jeopardizes my Israel interests. And I fully like Mr. Bloomberg. This is a liberal nation and liberal policies are ok with me. If it is pacifist or fascist or permissive, I will not be happy.
Mr. Bloomberg–I live in Brooklyn and now visiting in Israel–and I have only 3 words for you—SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!
