    The meeting, which the White House announced Monday, comes as U.S.-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians are resuming. That follows a diplomatic spat between the U.S. and Israel in March when an Israeli panel announced construction plans in contested east Jerusalem in the middle of a visit by Vice President Joe Biden.

    Obama has faced some skepticism from the Jewish community over his commitment to Israel, although the president has reiterated his support for the country and for establishing an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

    The president called the meeting, his first with Jewish Democratic lawmakers as a group.

    Hes getting desperate.. Like the Rebbe always said, America as a country will only ever respect Israel when it stands up for itself and protects itself.

    Yeah sure! First you kick them where it hurts most, then you tell them you did it for their own benefit and that you are their true friend. these people still find it hard to sit, but still are gonna try to be on osamas good side.

    The number of Jewish representatives is small. In general, the democrats have been distancing themselves from Israel more and more. The Republicans have been consistently pro-Israel. Obama is just pandering for the Jewish vote.

    Another feint, and end-run to appease the Jewish delegation. Say anything, appease at all costs, and thenwhen you sucker them in, Well no one has to tell the rest.
    Am sure you can figure that out yourselves.

    I think they should meet him by the “back door” like he did to Bibi.
