He also showed absolutely no empathy for the many terrorist attacks on Jews, including American citizens, during his tenure. Not to mention allowing them most antisemitic of all UN anti-Israel resolution as he was leaving office.

Many leaders of US Conservative, Reform & progressive Jewry have turned the two-state solution into a religion, dismissing concerns of the Israeli public.

All Jews are fully Jewish no matter their affiliation, or lack of affiliation. But members of liberal denominations have been severely misled by their leaders who, falsely, teach that Judaism and leftism are identical (they are often mutually exclusive), and stand with the left’s narrative far too often when they should be standing with the rest of the Jewish community (Then hide behind the idea that if most Jews support the left, supporting the left must be Jewish. It isn’t). The leaders of these denominations are destroying Jewish unity at a time when we need unity as much as ever.

Obama Rejects Netanyahu's Call for Iran to Recognize Israel - Breitbart

On Monday, President Barack Obama casually rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call to force Iran to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as part of any agreement on the country's nuclear program.

In a different time, and with a different president, this demand would have been a foregone conclusion. Israel is (I hate to say it, but "was" may be a better word until 2016), facing a serious threat if Iran obtains nuclear weapons. At the very least, forcing Iran to recognize Israel would be an effective way to begin to determine how honest they are when they say that they want nuclear technology for supposedly peaceful purposes. Obama is weak, and naive at best and dangerously evil at worst. This is proof.
