The truth about Obama’s record

Thank you for setting the record straight on President Obama’s record on Israel. Unfortunately, it seems that whenever he has chosen not to march lockstep with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he has found himself and his administration subject to specious claims of hostility towards Israel. I have heard pulpit rabbis digress from the parashah of the week and, instead, twist the president’s speeches and quote phrases out of context in order to make it appear, incorrectly, as if he advocates a return to pre-1967 borders without negotiated adjustments. As you point out, this administrations’ record, notably in the areas of arms sales and intelligence, has been friendlier to Israel than any of its predecessors.
