Obama's Iran nuclear deal rhetoric troubles American Jews

Washington (CNN)Some prominent members of the American Jewish community are increasingly worried that the rhetoric the Obama administration is using to defend the Iran deal could fuel a backlash against Jews.

In recent days, President Barack Obama has repeatedly charged that opponents of the deal are pushing for war with Iran as they did in Iraq and has decried the well-funded lobbying campaign behind them.

The White House says Obama is simply offering what he regards as a stark truth about the options facing lawmakers and what he's up against.

But American Jewish organizations -- who maintain the President himself isn't intentionally fueling stereotypes -- say the themes concern their members, who are sensitive to any suggestion of Jews' warmongering or placing ties to Israel over the interests of the United States.

Abraham Foxman, until recently the head of the Anti-Defamation League, which combats racism and anti-Semitism, said the language Obama is using could end up "fueling and legitimizing anti-Semitic stereotypes out there that Jews are warmongers."

Honestly, any Jew who voted for Obama did so with their eyes, ears and minds closed. They acted against their best interests for the sake of Liberalism. But most are slowly awakening to the fact that most Liberals hold them in absolute contempt. No one should be surprised at any of this.

Obama’s rhetoric and policies should trouble Jews. He views the world though the prism of racism and oppression. He can be accurately described as anti Zionist and his sympathies clearly lie with the Palestinians, What is more his policies are not occurring in a political or social vacuum. Changing demographics, a woeful ignorance of history in general and the Holocaust in particular has markedly lessened the support Israel once had in the West. This deal also marks the beginning of the end of coercive American involvement in the region.

Obama is working 24/7, apparently, to set up America for a massive nuclear missile attack from his Iranian IslamoNazi comrades

and we are supposed to discuss his anti-Semitism?

Yes, he’s an IslamoNazi by all his words and deeds. Meanwhile, please...PLEEZ...let’s get back to stopping him from getting away with this sell-out of American security It is just too important, too dangerous in this nuclear age... we haven’t time to chat about his obvious psychological sickness(es), Iran’s growing nuclear ICBM aresenal must be eliminated NOW! Then, we will have plenty of time to discuss waht mental hospital might be best for this dangerous E.W.

As well it should! Iran is the largest terrorist sponsoring state in the world. How do American Jews not understand Obama is a Jew hating antisemite? The man is so obvious. And American Jews are still not getting this? They are well and truly brain dead.

Obama is clearly anti-Semitic, just like his pastor of 20 years.

The man is pro drugs, pro gay, pro abortion, pro illegal immigration and anti American and anti-Israel.

The damage he has caused will last decades — if the nation survives.
