67% of Voters Say Obama isn’t Pro-Israel
COMMENTARY ^ | SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 | Alana Goodman

Posted on 09/19/2011 12:41:52 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Our “First Jewish President’s” Israel policy isn’t just a concern to Jewish voters. Obama’s Israel problems extend beyond religious lines, according to a poll released by The Hill today:

More than half of likely voters say the Obama administration’s policy on Israel is either somewhat or very important to the way they vote, according to this week’s The Hill Poll.

The survey comes just as Republicans managed to win the Brooklyn- and Queens-based congressional seat of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), in what many called a referendum on President Obama’s approach to Israel.

The internal numbers are actually even worse for the president. According to the poll, 67 percent of likely voters believe President Obama is not pro-Israel, with 29 percent saying he’s “anti-Israel” and 38 percent saying he’s neither pro nor anti. Less than a quarter say he’s pro-Israel. It’s supremely troubling such a large majority believes Obama has a negative or neutral view of a country that is one of our closest allies.

“First Jewish President”?

Where could ANY sane person get such an idea.

He is as pro-Pali as Jimmy Carter and as anti-Semitic as Yassir Arafat. For God's sake, Obama has his close personal advisors instigating and, indeed, sailing aboard the Gaza flotilla boats.

The other 33% think Hitler had some neat ideas.

Israel says obama is not pro-Israel.
Anyone who thinks obama is a friend to Israel is a moron.

This is one survey which I believe in. Obama goes out of his way to appeal to those countries who harbor and protect terrorists. It’s so disturbing.

It’s supremely troubling that Obama has a negative view of both the United States and Israel. As for the fact that many Americans have noticed that obvious fact? Not a worry to anyone sensible.

How could he possibly be pro-Israel?
