It turns out Adam Sandler needs to revise his classic “Hanukkah Song.”
The new line: “Barack Obama: Not a Jew.”
What makes that necessary is that President Obama and some of his media courtiers seem to think he’s an honorary member of the tribe.
Obama consigliere David Axelrod told an Israeli news outlet this week that Obama once said to him, “You know, I think I am the closest thing to a Jew that has ever sat in this office.”
That’s not the first time the idea of Obama’s Jewyness has popped up, but it is the most explicit. And it goes to not just Obama’s ignorance, but confusion among the Jews he knows best — progressive Jews.
It also comes as we hit the anniversary of the date that confusion got a lot worse — for June 5, 1967, was the start of the Six-Day War, after which Israel went from underdog to regional military power — and the Western left fell out of love with it.
And that was a big problem for Jewish liberals who’d fallen back on identifying with the ever-imperiled Jewish state for their ethnic solidarity.
Which brings us to why Obama thinks he’s Jewish — or, at least, Jew-ish.
From the start, Obama’s been outwardly hostile to the Israeli government and uninterested in changing course.
So his defenders offered a new spin: Only true friends of Israel would criticize the Jewish state relentlessly, harping on its flaws while speaking apocalyptically of its future.
This was always nonsense: No one criticizes Israeli politicians more than other Israelis.

Anybody calling those tormented shrieks from those
spindly towers, beautiful sounds, sure ain’t a Jew.
In that case, Hamas must be the "truest" friend Israel has ever had...
Obama is not even BLACK... he’s as white as he is black..
He’s a mulatto.. who needs to prove his blackness with bizarre schemes..
You know.... like other mulattos.. like Sharpton, Jackson, Julian Bond.. and others..
Where’s the half blacks identifying with the white side?..
Where?..
Many many others.. identifying with “darkness”.. they HATE the light..
Would make a good movie.. or a even a novel..
.... In the Biblical scriptures of the book of Genesis chapter 27 and also supported in other passages ...... there is the story of Jacob and Esau during the passing on of the promise and blessing of God to Israel through the laying on of hands by Isaac, the son of Abraham, .... was passed on to Jacob and not the first born Esau.
..... This is seen by many as the beginning of the hatred between the two brothers Esau and Jacob .... whose descendants would spawn the ones we know today as the Arabs and the Jews.
.... Is this what Obama was actually referring to when he said he was the "Closest thing to a Jew that has has ever been President?" The Arabs and Jews are descended from the same father ... Abraham! In Short .... Jews and Muslims are from the same family ... they are brothers!
... And thusly .... Obama may have then actually been referring to his Muslim descent!
In Obama's case, I prefer the word, "mongrel".
And if you say anything against him for it you’re racist.
There is no ignorance dummy...this was an in-your-face purposeful insult because he and J@rret are that hateful.
And no one is more ignorant that Obama and his supporters.
mongrel mulatto..... what a concept..
Like in: Whazup Dog?...
Simple...Obama loves Israel to death!
Here in our little town of Washingtevka, anyone who wants to be can be a Joooo!—or not.
