US President Barack Obama released a statement Tuesday, conveying the "warmest wishes" to Israel on its 66th Independence Day.
Obama acknowledged the Jews' millennia-long struggle to return to their ancient homeland and their success in achieving that dream in 1948.
"Generations of Jews dreamed of the day when the Jewish people would have their own state in their historic homeland, and 66 years ago today that dream came true," he stated. "Today, Israel thrives as a diverse and vibrant democracy and as a 'start-up nation' that celebrates entrepreneurship and innovation."
He stated that the Israel-US relationship is "based on shared democratic values and our unwavering commitment to Israels security" and thus "has never been stronger."
"The United States was the first nation to recognize the government of Israel in 1948, and today we are still the first to come to Israels defense," he added.
Obama also briefly mentioned peace talks, which were torpedoed last month. The US has consistently remained in denial over the death of talks.

well put....
Let’s hear that from Bibi.
Obama has succeeded to bring government credibility to Zero.
Change indeed.
Man with what has been coming out of the residents mouth I’ve gone from rubber boots to hip waders to scuba gear because the shiite has gotten so deep.
The US Citizens - Israel Government relations are fine...
The US Goverment - Israel Government relation is what is being bneglected...
I am SO relieved to hear that. I admit that I was getting worried there for a while, but I feel much more confident now that I have Obama's assurance.
And by “stronger” he means “weaker”.
I’d like to hear the Israeli’s confirm this
You have to know what he means. Stronger means better, more sustainable, based on a better foundation. He wants the destruction of Israel, just like the rest of Satan’s acolytes. In his mind, US-Israel relationship is built on a better foundation that will build a superstructure that will end the Jewish state.
Wait a minute,this could be a Serious Issue?Has ANYBODY checked to see if Obongo is still amongst The Living(or is Joe”Bite Me”POTUS)??????????
The US is led by a drug-addled communist who hates Jews and sends weapons to terrorists who want Israel destroyed. Exactly what part of this relationship is strong?
He must be "all we wee'd up" all the time!

Who believes this known liar?
And if you believe that, you believe Benghazi was caused by a video.
