Default Why American Jews are somewhat suspicious of Obama
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/v...ry.asp?id=1521

From news article:
No previous American president has had so strained a relationship with Israel as Barack Obama. As Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren said in 2010, “Israel’s ties with the United States are in their worst crisis since 1975 ... a crisis of historic proportions.” Author and scholar Dennis Prager concurred, “Most observers, right or left, pro-Israel or anti-Israel, would agree that Israeli-American relations are the worst they have been in memory.” In the spring of 2011, David Parsons, spokesman for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, said: “There's a traditional, special relationship between America and Israel that Obama is basically throwing out the window in a sense.” Former New York City mayor Ed Koch lamented, “I believe this is the most dangerous and critical period that Israel has ever faced and regrettably it does not have the support of the President of the United States, which in past difficult situations it could count on.” David Rubin, a U.S.-born Israeli author and expert on the Middle East, put it this way: “President Obama is very harmful for Israel and very dangerous for the future of Judeo-Christian civilization.” The author and economist Thomas Sowell asserts that Obama's relationship with Israel has been consistent with the president's pattern of “selling out our allies to curry favor with our adversaries.” Political analyst Charles Krauthammer observes that Obama has “undermined” Israel as a result of either his “genuine antipathy” toward the Jewish state or “the arrogance of a blundering amateur.” Meanwhile, the Israeli populace remains jittery. According to a recent poll commissioned by The Jerusalem Post, only 9 percent of Jewish Israelis believe that the Obama administration is more pro-Israel than pro-Palestinian.

What underlies these deep concerns about President Obama's relationship with Israel? What accounts for the widespread perception that Obama is not seriously committed to protecting Israel's welfare? These questions are explored and answered in this report, which lays out Obama's words, actions, and key affiliations vis à vis Israel not only during his first 32 months in the White House, but during the two decades preceding his presidency as well.

We should be more than suspicious of Obama... hopefully, the light will go on in the attic come election day. I won't hold my breath, however.
This a great, insightful article, Mediocrates.

Talking about 'brainwashed', this guy sure is.

He does not know that no American soldier ever died for Israel.

He is not aware that in any war there are mistakes and incidents of friendly fire. Heck it happened to the American army too.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_fire

Now let's see how many Americans were deliberately murdered by Arabs. Let's start with September 11. Even though it happened before and after.

Oh and Iran never started a war against anyone? Really? Then how about the Iranian American embassy hostage saga? 54 American embassy staff were held as hostages under terrifying conditions for 444 days. And this clown who posted here was complaining about Israel having nuclear weapons but would be happy for the Iranians to have them. Yet he considers himself to be a good American. Go figure ...

I also find it interesting that the hostage crisis happened during the reign of that "peace loving" appeaser Jimmy Carter. And seeing that they were not afraid to do it to Carter then, I wonder what Iran would do to America and Americans if they ever acquire nuclear weapons. One thing is for sure, unless America would start singing according to Iranian hymn books, the straits of Hormuz would be shut. I wonder what that would do to the price of oil and to the American economy?
