“Israel has cut Obama off from something he needs. That’s how I read it.”
Yeah, Jewish money. Normally traditionally open liberal Jewish voters are catching on.
Ergo, Obama sends the Court Jew to pretend to not be an Islamists bent on the destruction of Israel.

Noble patrons of court Jews employed them as financiers, suppliers, diplomats and trade delegates. Court Jews could use their family connections, and connections between each other, to provision their sponsors with, among others things, food, arms, ammunition and precious metals.
In return for their services, court Jews gained social privileges—sometimes even titles—and could live outside the Jewish ghettoes. Some nobles wanted to keep their bankers in their own courts. And because they were under noble protection, they were exempted from rabbinical jurisdiction.
Some court Jews, unlike the majority of the other Jews, amassed large personal fortunes and gained political and social influence. Sometimes they were also prominent people in the local Jewish community and could use their influence to protect and influence their brethren. Sometimes they were the only Jews who could interact with the local high society and present petitions of the Jews to the ruler.
