President Barack Obama’s refusal to take a stand on protests in Iran stands in sharp contrast to demands he has made on Israel, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says in a Newsmax interview.
“I think he should take a strong stand to support the protesters in Iran who want to transform that society into one that promotes democracy and human rights,” Klein says. ”But while meddling in Israel’s affairs and making specific demands, he explicitly states he refuses to meddle in Iran’s policies and has said almost nothing.”
Klein says leaders of Jewish organizations are rethinking their support of Obama in light of his attitude toward Israel.
“There are many leaders in the organized Jewish world who have privately discussed this issue with me, and say they are deeply concerned about Obama’s actions and policies toward Israel, and now they’re rethinking their support for Obama during the campaign and the election,” says Klein, whose organization of 30,000 members is the oldest pro-Israel group in the country.
Based on the president’s speech in Cairo on June 4 and many of his foreign policy appointments, Klein thinks Obama “may become the most hostile president to Israel ever.”
Obama’s speech was “inimical to Israel and supportive of the stream of false Palestinian Arab claims concerning Israel,” Klein says. “He is relentlessly pressuring Israel while applying virtually almost no pressure on the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its written obligations.”

Obama is the ideological child of 1960s Marxist-Alinsky street rabble.
His knowledge of U.S. history and the U.S. military is solely the teachings of the aforementioned America haters.
Recall a statement from his D-Day trip -- it was the 65th anniversary after all. Wasn't that the purpose of the trip?
The German press wondered why there was not much contact between Merkel and Obama. Obama pointed out the many items on his tight schedule including "having to go to Normandy."
Having to go? To be obliged to; must?
What American would feel put upon?
Give it time.
Jimmy Carter is still working on destroying Israel. You never know what that old creep will be able to accomplish.
Buyers remorse is starting to set in.
Congrats on Bibi’s election. You have a very tough PM over in Isreal who will not take any garbage from those oppose to Isreal.
....Yet ironic, it is the same Christians who come out to support Isreal.
Why any of the Jewish people would vote for anyone with this guys background and name “Hussein Obama”? Well to me that is like saying “please Mr. Obama kill me and the Jewish people”! I will vote for you again!! If I am still around?? I always thought that the Jews were smart people? You sold yourself down the river on this one!
You blindly voted Democrat last November and this is the result. It's on your head what happens to Israel.
I asked my boss’ daughter, who is Jewish, why American Jews overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
She said, “Not all Jews are Zionists.”
So I’d have to agree with you, from my limited perspective. Apparently liberalism is more important to many of them than protecting the state of Israel, and that’s just sad,IMO.
“duh..how would you expect a muslim to treat Isreal?”.
Sometimes the most powerful arguments contain the fewest words. I will contribute to your argument: Reverend Wright.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

“Obama May Be ‘Most Hostile President to Israel’ (ever)”
That’s because he’s a Muslim.
Political ping
Israeli Jews were not.
The entire “marched peacefully to deaths” bit is a myth.
The Warsaw Ghetto held out longer than the nation of France.
My grandfather, for example, smashed in the heads of the French cops who came to collect him and grandma (with a pipe). He and our family escaped with both their wallets and their sidearms.
The fact is, a good half of the self-described Jews in these polls are not Jewish under the Law or by religious practice.
As disapora Jews, their feelings towards Israeli Jews proper is mixed, and often no different than a nostalgic feeling like a third-generation American of Irish decent who has a fondness for green and St. Patrick’s day, but little more.
Concur.
Very enlightening post, and probably the most likely explanation I’ve ever read for why American Jews voted overwhelmingly for ostammer.
Thanks.
He purports to be President of the United States.
And he's already the most hostile "Pres__ent" to America. Ever.
