Obama does not want a full scale conflict to erupt between Israel and Arab nations on his watch because he guaranteed to “bring peace and calm the waters” - remember?
So he’s downplaying the whole issue. Just like he diverted the attention from terrorism in Benghazi with the stupid youtube meme.

I hope you are right, because this is the mildest interpretation of the president’s actions.
In my view, a possible alternative interpretation is that he is denying there is any Anti-Semitism because he is trying to reduce possible sympathy for Jews and Israel in preparation for the anihilation of Israel by his allies in Iran.
