President Obama tried to undermine Israel and caused great damage to the Middle East
By Howie Katz
In 2011 Obama stabbed our ally, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, in the back by doing nothing to help him stay in power during the Arab Spring insurrections. Once Mubarak had been forced to resign, the Muslim Brotherhood took over the country.
The overwhelming majority of America's Jews are bedrock liberals. As such they adored President Obama even though he was the most anti-Israel president since the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.
Although Joe Biden was Obama's lapdog for eight years, he ha not been as hostile toward Israel as America's first Black president.
President Obama with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who has repeatedly vowed there will be only one state, a judenrein Palestinian state From Wednesday's Israel Hayom:
The Biden administration is critical of Israel, but it is not obsessed
with the Jewish state as much as former US President Barack Obama was.
He caused great damage to the region: he refrained from backing the 2009
Iranian green movement, played a key role in the ouster of former
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in
the country, and gave a cold shoulder to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah
el-Sissi, who saved the Middle East from the radicals.
On the other hand, Donald Trump was the most pro-Israel president since Harry Truman.
Trump declared that Jerusalem is the undivided eternal capital of the Jewish people and he moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He recognized Israel's sovereignty over
the Golan Heights and he proclaimed that the West Bank settlements were legal. He drew up a peace plan that favored Israel over the Palestinians. He shut down Palestinian offices in the US and he stopped providing funds to the Palestinians and to those UN agencies that were providing aid to the Palestinians. Trump was responsible for the Abraham Accords which resulted in the Gulf States and several other Muslim countries to recognize Israel and begin to carry out normal relations with the Jewish state. And there were other actions taken by Trump that were beneficial to Israel.
While it is believed that Biden will not return our embassy to Tel Aviv, he has already rescinded most of Trump's pro-Israel actions. And Biden now wants to open a Palestinian consulate in East Jerusalem which would legitimize the Palestinian claim that East Jerusalem belongs to them and would divide the undivided eternal capital of the Jewish people.
Obama did the most damage. As president he was free to do anything he wanted because if anyone criticized America's first black president they would be immediately labeled as racists.
When will America's Jews wake up and recognize that Democratic presidents like Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden have been hostile toward the state of Israel? Never, because they are bedrock liberals. To their shame, a good number of Jews, especially the younger ones, have even turned against Israel and joined up withe the Israel-hating Palestinians of this country.
As a Holocaust survivor who came to America from Nazi Germany in 1936, I am passionately pro-Israel because it is the last refuge for Jews who are hated and persecuted in many nations of the world.

I confess to being puzzled myself about the blind spot American Jews seem to have for the Democrat-Socialist party. Normally, as a group, Jews are not stupid nor blind.
