We accept that Obama is an empty suit running on polling data. But he should refer to the real data and not the nonsense Rashid Khalidi feeds him:
From news article:
BOSTON – A poll of more than 1000 American Jews conducted by Frank Luntz, PhD of Luntz Global on behalf of CAMERA, the 65,000 member Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, May 16-17 finds continuing, deep support for Israel. Results show strong belief in Israel's commitment to peace efforts and apprehension about its existential situation and its Palestinian adversaries with their "culture of hatred." Survey respondents also expressed strong support for Israel's right to self-defense and opposition to those who would pressure or sanction the Jewish state.
"The poll results dramatically contradict recent speculation about disaffection among American Jews toward the Jewish state," said CAMERA Executive Director Andrea Levin. "Ninety-four percent of respondents said if Israel ‘no longer existed tomorrow' it would be a tragedy. Nearly one in four said they would consider such an event ‘the biggest tragedy of my lifetime.' The concern is reflected in emphatic sentiment (85%) that Israel ‘is right to take threats to its existence seriously,' that Israel's concerns are neither ‘irrational' nor ‘overstated.'"

"Some news media accounts have tended to amplify a vocal fringe in the American Jewish community that espouses extreme views and policies far out of the mainstream. This poll clarifies what American Jews actually feel and believe," said Levin.

She added, "The overwhelming majority of American Jews are cognizant of threats to Israel, protective of the country, cautious about risks and strongly opposed to such measures as boycotts, including boycotts of settlements."

American Jews expressed strong belief the Israeli government (84%) and its people (85%) are committed to establishing genuine peace between Israel and the Palestinian people. At the same time, respondents were far more skeptical of the Palestinian commitment and consider Palestinian incitement against Israel – its "culture of hatred" – to be a major obstacle to peace (77%), far more so than settlements (12%) or "occupation" (12%).
