President Barack Obamas refusal to take a stand on protests in Iran stands in sharp contrast to demands he has made on Israel, Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, says in a Newsmax interview.
I think he should take a strong stand to support the protesters in Iran who want to transform that society into one that promotes democracy and human rights, Klein says. But while meddling in Israels affairs and making specific demands, he explicitly states he refuses to meddle in Irans policies and has said almost nothing.
Klein says leaders of Jewish organizations are rethinking their support of Obama in light of his attitude toward Israel.
There are many leaders in the organized Jewish world who have privately discussed this issue with me, and say they are deeply concerned about Obamas actions and policies toward Israel, and now theyre rethinking their support for Obama during the campaign and the election, says Klein, whose organization of 30,000 members is the oldest pro-Israel group in the country.
Based on the presidents speech in Cairo on June 4 and many of his foreign policy appointments, Klein thinks Obama may become the most hostile president to Israel ever.
Obamas speech was inimical to Israel and supportive of the stream of false Palestinian Arab claims concerning Israel, Klein says. He is relentlessly pressuring Israel while applying virtually almost no pressure on the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its written obligations.

Where did I say they DESERVED it? My pointing out that it in fact happened and it in fact happened because they trusted the untrustworthy and the evil leadership in NO WAY suggests that I said they DESERVED it.
How absolutely absurd.
They voted 78% for ostammer so I am saying they again are trusting evil and untrustworthy “leadership”. They repeat the mistake.
This isn’t rocket science.
It’s refreshing to see that SOMEBODY else on this thread grasps this simple point/observation.
I don’t know what IBTZ stands for.
With any amount of luck you will soon.

A girl can only hope....
Going to bed now. Sleep well!!!

Does it mean “In Before the Zot”, which translates to “I want to get you booted because you confused me with the facts.”?
Support for McCain in Israel was running up to 80 per cent during the campaign among Israelis and in an exit poll of American Jews who actually voted, McCain got 84 per cent. Bush’s popularity never went below 70 per cent during his entire term. In the latest poll on Obama in Israel I think his support stands at six per cent. His election helped swing our election to Netanyahu and the the entire right wing because we know someone had to tell him to go to hell when the time came.
Obama took a lot of Jewish votes (NY and FL). “hope and change” you get what you voted for.
Yes, I was aware that ostammer hasn’t been popular in Israel, but I didn’t realize that his having been elected here successfully influenced Bibi’s election in Israel. I’ve admired Netanyahu for many years, so I really am glad that at least one good thing has come from the election of this evil criminal.
What confuses me is that 78% of American Jews voted for ostammer. Do they care NOTHING about Israel, or are they just dumber than a bag of hammers?
duh... how would you expect a muslim to treat Israel?
I never understood how those NY city Jews could vote for liberal democraps.
It does makes sense.
I love Israel and her people, but there is a reason so many of them are so lost. They have rejected their own God - and have turned to the politics of Communism and Socialism as their god. Moreover, any support of Republicans is viewed in some Jewish circles as supporting a Christian based world view.
I think much of the Jewish support for the Democrats is simply tradition. It’s been going on since Roosevelt. You can judge the weight of interest in Israel against domestic issues by the vote for Kerry. Bush by every measure was the best friend in the White House Israel ever had. Kerry never even came clear where he stood. Yet he got the usual 80 per cent support. I think actual concern for Israel as the number one overriding issue was cited as such by only three per cent of American Jews in polls. It’s a background issue way down the list. Even if Ahmadinejad headed the Democratic ticket, the majority would still vote Democrat.
Got a double dummy, know a jewish doctor who voted for Obama.
“I sort of understand how they ended up in the ovens.”
That’s all I’ll ever need to read from you. Some of us lost family in those “ovens” you sick son of a b*tch
“Obama May Be ‘Most Hostile President to Israel (ever)”
Evil always hates the Jews.
