    Obama was speaking to a group of campaign contributors at the Upper East Side home of Jack Rosen, a prominent businessman and chairman of the American Jewish Congress. Obama commented after Rosen mentioned “concerns” within the Jewish community about the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

    Rosen added that America has never been as supportive of Israel’s security as it has been under Obama.

    Obama said no ally is more important than the state of Israel.

    Obama angered Israel’s supporters this year by asserting that negotiations over future Palestinian borders begin with lines Israel held before capturing the West Bank and Gaza in 1967.

    He is not even being wishy washy about his support for Israel. He is simply lying. He has done everything possible to steal more concessions from Israel, while allowing the Palis complete immunity for their steady, barbaric practice of terror. He was unequivocal about maintaining the US funding because it was “humanitarian”, which we all know funds terror, the education system that teaches young Palestinians to murder Israelis, etc. He pressured Israel at every juncture, without a peep about the constant barrage of rockets. Shame on him. He will be known as the worst president ever, and he won the good fight with Carter for that distinction. I can never trust Obama, and Democrats in general have been difficult to trust.

    This one will say anything to anyone just to get elected.
    “Rosen added that America has never been as supportive of Israel’s security as it has been under Obama.” I wonder what is he smoking?

    Yes. The president is being quite honest with the useful Jews.

    Israel IS the most important ally; that is, when campaigning or raising funds.

    Otherwise, its snide remarks for their leaders, backdoor welcomes, let them eat cake attitude, and of course, de-legitimizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital…and oh, lets not forget: get back to those 67 borders, Jews. Only from there will we negotiate…

    That was then. But, for now, Obama is surely honest when he tells his useful Jews that Israel is America’s most important ally.

    The sad part is so many Jews fall for the shtick. Again. And again. And again.

    If Israel is such an important ally, then why is it so critical for the Obama administration to insist upon Jonathan Pollard’s continued incarceration?

    What was Obama doing on Rev. Wrights church for 20 years listening to anti semitic rants. Why dont he free Polard,the big talker.

    Forgetfullness leads to Exile. Remeberance leads to Redemption.
    The least we could do is remember what the Presidents said and
    did the the day and week before to other audiences. Lets no be fooled
    by hearing what we would like to hear!

    Did any of the Obama haters here vote for him in the past, and have since changed their mind? If not, it doesn’t really matter if you still don’t like him.

    Re: Pollard

    I’m clearly stating that I dont remember specifics, so please dont gang up on me…
    BUT… about 10 years ago there was a lot of movement and out-cry regarding Pollard, at that time I remember partaking in a protest and then discussing it with a political science professor who was, at the time, heavily involved in politics.
    This is the part that I dont remember so clearly, but apparently this Pollard issue isn’t simple. At one point (abbout 15 years back) there was an opportunity for him to be freed and he declined bec it didn’t include a full pardon. I remember being shocked at the time…
    There was more to this discussion, and Iemember walking away with the conclusion that his release wasn’t so clear cut/ black and white…

    There’s a lot more that we aren’t privy to.

    I guess some people have a short term memory. Obama has repeatedly thrown Israel and its leaders under the bus. He refused to visit Israel even when he was in the region. He lied when he claimed that israel was created due to the holocaust. He forced Netanyahu into the 2 state solution, and created the building freeze in all settlements.
    He called for Israel to withdraw to the 1967 lines, something no president ever called for. He humiliated Netanyahu in the white house, and refused to take a photo with him. He’s done nothing to stop a nuclear Iran.
    Need I say more?

    To all those who STILL back Obama as a “friend” to Israel and a “good leader” for America, I am an American-Jew and I will NEVER vote for Obama! His idea of helping Israel is looking forward to the entire region reijoicing in an “Arab Spring”. We are seeing the Arab Spring happening..The Muslim Brotherhood’s century long fight is coming to fruition in Egypt, Libya, Lebanon, Kuwait, Iraq and soon to be Syria. His compatriot in France says he hates Netanyahu as Obama verbally admits his disgust. Xtians are being ousted from the entire Arab/Islamic regions, Obama remains silent! Do you REALLY think he will help Israel?! Right now he is listening while tiny Israel says that THEY will take actions against Iran…sure, where is Obama’s “friendship” when backbone is needed. Iran threatens America, Britain and Israel and Obama says, “let Israel go fight them”. A REAL LEADER!
