The headline is WAY better - and more accurate - than the rest of the story. But, at least there's one leftist that will publicly acknowledge Obama is loathed in Israel.

Not because the president is surrounded by Jewish aides who want to sabotage their own identity. Far from it. David Axelrod openly reveres the old Jewish deli in Chicago known as Manny’s

David Axelrod openly reveres the old Jewish deli in Chicago known as Manny’s.

Revering a non Kosher deli makes you "Jewish"? I guess, since "old" in this Jewish context is 65 years. Not sure I'd pay much attention to David Axelrod's eating habits.

I don't consider Axelrod or RamBo Jews! Its evident that they are Socialist. I have sat Shiva for both of them as I consider them gone from being a good Jew.

AM YISRAEL CHAI!

The sad thing is that to the author of this piece, “Jewish identity” IS nothing more than loving a deli or having a sign with Hebrew writing on it. If you set the bar that low, what’s to self hate? To be sure, there are self-hating Muslims who think that this world conquest and mass conversion of all infidels by the sword is a bad idea, even if they do like couscous and stuffed grape leaves. But Axelrod can’t be a self-hating Jew, because he eats bagels and lox. What else IS there about being Jewish? A belief in our mission to be a light to the nations? A belief in our existence as G-d’s chosen people? Naaah.
