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”

The thing that so disgusts us pro-Israel anti-leftist Jews is that the speech absolutely full of hot-button words and phrases, not to mention lies, written by a J Street type Jewish speechwriter so as to get the maximum arousal from the Jewish left audience. (I'd venture a guess that the attendance at the event was carefully limited to Obama sycophants.) Mark Levin rightfully said he was nauseated by what he heard and appalled at the cheers it drew from the nitwits in the audience.
And, oh, yes: Obama had the gall to wear a yarmulke (skullcap) to the event, claiming that Jeffrey Goldberg referred to him as the first Jewish president.
And notice at one point in the speech, he referred to himself. He can't resist interjecting himself into every speech.
a) Weakens America/AmericansThere are NO counter examples.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
“When we allow anti-Semitism to take root, our souls are destroyed,” Obama said. “It will spread.”
Isn’t this EXACTLY what Obama is doing???
Hope there’s a tape of it because his next speech on the subject will be 180 degrees out!
President Obama sought to reassure American Jews that he fully supports the state of Israel while reiterating the need for a two-state solution …Doublespeak and doublethink at the same time; two mutually exclusive states of being. Even Abbas officially made the one-state solution official policy of the P.A. recently; the “Palestinians” don’t say “from the river to the sea” for nothing.
Someone in the know pull the quote from the Koran about “holy” lying to infidels.
"...if you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
Hypocrite!
No he doesn’t. If they believe him, well, there’s a sucker born every minute.
Huh? Everything is race to him. That is just strange.
Tru dat
Hmmmmm ..?? First he was rude and condescending and now he’s wearing a skull-cap ..???????????
What is happening to people .. people appear to be losing their minds.
Some people like to be lied to. These silly liberal Jews think Obamas lies about Israel will make it OK for them to support this Israel hating semi-Muslim. They want to be soothed and have lullabies sung to them.
Obama is laughing at how easy it is to manipulate these liberal Jews
Support for Israel? Barf!!!!! He supports ( and works 24/7) for Israel’s destruction. Any idiot can see that. Six years already of almost daily lies to the American people. Lies lies lies. Pray for America.
Obama cares about Israel like OJ cared about Nicole..Obama only speaks to leftist Jews who already despise Israel’s existence, he won’t speak to those Jews like myself, who know he is full of crap
.....and they all wrote checks on the way out.
The clip I saw on FoxNews showed an adoring crowd in the synagogue.
I was like “What the heck...”
Lightning should have struck the podium.
