Israelis growing increasingly anxious about Obama policies

The faux fears, however, were overshadowed by deepening anxiety in Jerusalem that Israel is heading for an unavoidable political showdown with President Barack Obama over the center-right government's refusal to stop building Jewish homes in the predominantly Palestinian West Bank. Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's largest daily newspaper, carried a front-page story Tuesday bluntly titled: "The American Threat." Its biggest competitor, Maariv, carried a bold headline: "Pressure." The building apprehension comes as Obama is preparing to make a direct appeal to the Islamic world in Cairo on Thursday that's widely seen as a chance for the U.S. to launch a new, more cooperative era with Arab nations in the Middle East. Central to the success of Obama's attempts to reshape America's image in the region will be a shift in U.S. policy toward Israel.

"Everyone is against us,"

I think I've read about something like this in the bible, regarding end times.

I believe the term for Jewish members of Zero’s cabinet is ‘Kapos”

I can’t generate much empathy for people who supported SkinnyHitler. Did we learn nothing from the first one?

makes me picture Rahmbo cowering under a desk with SS knocking at his door and no safe place in the world left to run to.

Then again I have visions of Muslim conquerers lining up all of the LGBT people for mass beheadings in Yankee Stadium, but that's just me.

Barry’s ongoing policies towards Israel and Iran is inherently forcing Israel to have to act. The question is whether this is Barry’s true intention or purpose.

Exactly what 0bama wants to hear. You should support Israel because anyone fighting Islamic Jihad is fighting for you too

How does that apply to Israeli Jews? They are fighting the Muslims every day

As are Americans.

Some are and perhaps many in the obama government are, but not a very great many of us, Jewish or not, Christian or not.

Had Hitler run on the premise of opposition to traditional Christian values,

modern Jews would have showed up in droves to vote for him.
