In May 2011, five days after Barack Obama endorsed the withdrawal of Israeli boundaries to 1949 Armistice lines, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu delivered a speech before a Joint Session of Congress that "had all the trappings of a State of the Union address by a president with sky-high approval ratings." He got 29 standing ovations.
The Obamas were abroad at the time.
Three years later, I think our thin-skinned president is still peeved and jealous of Bibi's ability to make Congress swoon -- because NOW what we're hearing is that Obama and his fixer, John Kerry, "are disturbed over what is being perceived in their inner circle as 'Jewish activism in Congress' that they think is being encouraged by the Israeli government."
.... According to Israel Radio... diplomats and foreign officers have warned against this trend. According to officials based in foreign missions, the Israeli government is increasingly being viewed as fanning the flames among American Jews by encouraging them to promote the official government position while making no room for opposing viewpoints.
Not only does the hypocritical charge of "no room for opposing viewpoints" sound all too familiar, but this "revelation" is likely a foreshadowing of things to come. How long until we are forced to revisit widespread accusations of dual loyalty, poisoned wells and such from the Obama,Walt & Mearsheimer Post-American Left™ ?
Just because Barack Obama is anti-Zionist, that doesn't mean Jews have permission to complain about it. Just ask the White House Press Corpse; they'll tell you.
