President Obama sought to reassure American Jews that he fully supports the state of Israel while reiterating the need for a two-state solution at a Northwest Washington synagogue on Friday.
Obama spoke at the Adas Israel Synagogue on the inaugural “solidarity sabbath,” a holiday meant to consolidate support for Jews amid rising anti-Semitism that falls toward the end of Jewish Heritage Month. On Friday, lawmakers were slated to appear in congregations across the country to mark the day.

“When we allow anti-Semitism to take root, our souls are destroyed,” Obama said. “It will spread.”
The statements follow a wide-ranging interview published by The Atlantic on Thursday, in which President Obama stressed his love for the Jewish state of Israel, telling commentator Jeffrey Goldberg that supporting the rights of Jews abroad is equivalent to supporting the freedom of African-Americans at home.
“There’s a direct line between supporting the right of the Jewish people to have a homeland and to feel safe and free of discrimination and persecution, and the right of African Americans to vote and have equal protection under the law,” he said. “These things are indivisible in my mind.”
On Friday, he reiterated those sentiments, reflecting on his own introduction to the Israeli community. “For a young man like me grappling with his own identity, Obama said, “the idea that you could be grounded in your history as Israel was but not be trapped by it. That idea was liberating”

Ping!!!
Isn’t this EXACTLY what Obama is doing???
Exactly. And to compound the anti-Semitic bias in his foreign policy (e. g., allowing Iran to develop nukes), he panders to black radicals and Muslims domestically, two groups in which anti-Semitism is rampant.
That's exactly what Marxists (and other types of totalitarians) do. It's in their DNA. No one could voluntarily accept their putrid freedom-robbing agendas if they tried to sell them aboveboard.
A brilliant comparison!!!
I could take some heat for this, but it’s my take if the circumstances were just right, Obama would like to carry on the long traditons of Jewish (Israeli) supporters like Adolph Hitler.
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America’s allies
c) Strengthens America’s enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are NO counter examples
his bears repeating:
This...Damned phone.
Lying quota boy
Yo, ‘Bama! Liar, liar, pants on fire!
Understood. All these lies also render any citizen participation or input into representative government impossible. So the political hacks’ desired dictatorship more and more actual
Obama can fool the stupid Jews who voted for him but any TORAH knowledgeable Jew or Israeli KNOWS the truth. Once again, the Jews of America (well, at least those that voted for him) are duped. Yeah, I'll sell Israel weapons because due to my failed policies, the Israelis will have to use every bomb I sell them.
Obummer is a transparent, pandering, lying, Reverand Wright fan.
Beyond disgraceful, but someone invited him.
Interesting it was at Ada’s Israel in Cleveland Park. That used to be where the Jewish heavy weights (ganzer machers) used to worship. The congregation has aged as younger people have gone to the suburbs
I'm not all that familiar with the Jewish community in DC and environs. But it's pretty obvious that this congregation was chosen deliberately because the Obama lackeys knew that it tilted left. I saw somewhere else that its members include SCOTUS justices Bader Ginsberg and Kagan. And the member who supposedly invited Obama was journalist Jeff Goldberg of The Atlantic.
I can assure you that there are other synagogues around the country where an Obama appearance such as this would have touched off local protests and heckling. Here that would be avoided, and they probably vetted everyone in the audience to virtually guarantee that outcome.
That would have been left-leaning journalist Jeff Goldberg of The Atlantic.
Please see my post # 35.
Not Ardmore's Israel?
This was the place where the senior rabbi announced he was divorcing his wife (also a ‘rabbi’ - would she be called ‘Rabbit’?) because he decided he was gay.
At this point, you can still navigate to the complete article by going to Google, typing the article title in the search box, and clicking on the title in the first article that comes up in the Google list.
Wow!
"Rabbit"? I've coined the term "rabbiness" for a female rabbi.
