Who said this? “No [presidential] administration has done more for Israel’s security than mine. I am prepared to further strengthen the relationship.”
It was President Barack Obama himself, in his successful effort to get Jewish Congressman Jerry Nadler, who has the largest Jewish district in the U.S., to vote YES on the Iran deal. It is one of the most laughable statements Obama has ever made.
No president since Truman, who was the first among world leaders to recognize the new state of Israel, has treated the Jewish state with more disdain than Obama. From storming out of a meeting with Netanyahu in 2010, to publicly shaming Israel a few weeks ago when he (lied) claiming that Israel alone opposed the Iran deal (Everyone knows that Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Middle East states are terrified of the weak deal).
It is amazing to me that any Jewish person (not to mention one who represents more Jews than any other congressman) could believe anything Obama has to say when it comes to the Jewish nation. By now, it should be clear to anyone with common sense, that Obama is hostile towards Israel and sees us (Israelis) as the problem in the Middle East.
