Comments (0)Quite Hostile
October 16, 2009Jewish support for Obama is fast eroding according to Morton Klein, President of the Zionist Organization of America. According to the Gallop poll Obama’s approval rating among Jews has slipped from 83 percent in January to 64 percent presently.
Since Obama gave his speech in Cairo in which he compared Palestinian suffering to that of Jewish suffering in the Holocaust and compared Palestinian suffering to that of U.S. Blacks before the civil rights movement, he has lost Jewish support. Obama also lost favor when he gave the Presidents Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson of Ireland and Desmond Tutu of South Africa, both virulent anti-Israel persons. In the UN Obama recently coupled Israeli security with Israel fulfilling Palestinian claims and rights.
He didn’t mention Iran in his Cairo speech, has taken military options off the table and is delaying sanctions. Obama is doing nothing about Iran’s getting nuclear weapons which could destroy Israel and harm the West. He also condemned the 1967,occupation without mentioning Egypt’s starting the war. With Israel in mind, we can agree President Obama’s sympathies and feelings are much like his mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He is heading in the direction of becoming the most hostile president to Israel in history.
