Obama Approval Rating Dives In Israel
Time Magazine - World ^ | Feb 7, 2014 | Karl Vick

Posted on 02/09/2014 4:07:24 PM PST by Innovative

Less than a year after President Obama left Israel to the sound of loud cheering after he assured Israelis in Hebrew that they “are not alone,” a new poll has found that 70% of Jewish Israelis do not trust Obama to safeguard their nation’s vital interests in negotiations with the Palestinians.

The survey, published Friday in the Israeli weekly Sov Hashavua, is the latest in a string of recent polls demonstrating a precipitous fall in the confidence

I wonder what the % will be after Iran gets a tac nuke from Obama and detonates it a few miles from the Israeli border.

Many Israelis are too the left. This is true even with the so-called right wing Israelis.

I would bet my paycheck that Iran’s first nuclear weapons test will be inside the boarders of Israel, probably inside the boarders of Tel Aviv.

They should poll the Jews in NYC and see where they stand on Bozo.

I have a friend, who is now a US Citizen but goes to Israel often. One day they let their hair down in my car as to how they really felt about Obama, and they voted for him the 1st time. It was totally un-PC as they let it rip as to who and what he was, all I can say is Oh boy, I never expected that out of a normally reserved person. If many in Israel feel this way, he is not liked, at all....

Not this American Jew. Nor his wife. Nor his sisters. Nor his cousins. Nor anyone else in his extended family. Nor most of his friends. We didn't vote for him the first time and didn't the second. All Jews are not idiot leftists.

Wait. You mean to tell me Obama had an approval rating? Obama has already shown what he does to our traditional allies.

None of the Jews I know did either, but there's no denying that quite a few did/do. I've heard that it goes back to their love of FDR, which is ironic; considering that he wouldn't lift a finger to let the Jews emigrate during WW2.

I NEVER understood how the Jewish people could support him. If you apply the same rules to Obama that should apply to everyone, he is very transparent. That is, don’t listen to what he says - watch what he does. That will tell you everything you need to know.

“All Jews are not idiot leftists.”

I know. And I have no issue with Jews. I just don’t understand how a majority can be “idiot leftists.”
