Don’t worry mudslimes, your boy in the White House will abandon Israel before you know it.
And just what "liberties" has Israel been taking? Maybe the liberty to, say, defend herself after long periods of almost daily frequent rocket attacks?
Obama, you can’t be everybody’s pal.
Sooner or later you will learn that.
