We\’ve all heard President Obama tell us that our bond with Israel is unshakable, that he is fully supportive of Israel and will do whatever it takes to keep Israel safe and it is an eternal friendship, etc. etc. etc.

Unfortunately, we have also all heard President Obama tell us that, with ObamaCare, if we like our current insurance plan we can keep it, he will not grant amnesty to illegal aliens because he has no constitutional authority to do so, etc. etc. etc.

So is Mr. Obama telling the truth about his relationship with Israel or is he lying to our faces again?

Victor Davis Hanson, writing for pjmedia.com, has just put out a superb commentary on this subject.  I will show you a the beginning of his piece below, but I urgeyou to use this link and read the entire commentary as well:

Even some Democrats in Congress have come to the conclusion that after the brouhaha over Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu\’s speech before Congress, President Obama wants to radically downgrade the long American special relationship with democratic Jewish Israel – and perhaps has a dislike of the idea of Israel. Add up the administration\’s initial disparagement on the matter of Israeli settlements, untoward administration remarks during the Gaza War, its assumptions that a future autonomous West Bank had a right to insist on becoming Judenfrei, its downplaying the Iranian nuclear threat, John Kerry\’s various editorializing about Israeli supposed overreactions, the constant hectoring of Israel, and rumors of a slowdown in military aid to Israel during the Gaza war, and so on and so on.

These acts seem to fit into a prior landscape of the administration\’s anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli supposed slips, gaffes, and smears.

Beyond the above – which is 100% accurate – Mr. Hanson goes into detail on a series of specific incidents since Barack Obama became President – over a dozen of them (and, as he points out, it is only a partial list).  He prefaces each incident with the words “I thought it a bit strange”….which is meant to convey sarcasm.  And, believe me, it succeeds.

Again, I urge you to use the link I\’ve provided and read them all. 

Then please use the information to think about how truthful President Obama\’s assurances regarding Israel are. It just might give you some useful tools to make an assessment…and to understand why it was so necessary for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before congress last week.
