OBAMA IS ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING ISRAEL'S PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1

A bunch of American Jewish "leaders" met with President Obama to hear his assurances that he is a good friend of Israel. Because most of those leaders probably supported his candidacy for president, they would not have been hard to persuade. With friends like Obama, Israel doesn’t need any enemies.

Obama and his gullible audience is in denial of the fact that time after time the "moderate" leaders of the Palestinian Authority and of Fatah have made it quite clear that there will be only one state - Palestine. Obama's "vision of Middle East peace" is not the vision Palestinians have imbedded in their minds. At the rate he’s going, Obama is on the verge of becoming Israel’s public enemy no. 1.

U.S. President Barack Obama assured 15 leaders of Jewish American organizations of his commitment to Israel, but he also insisted he would continue to publicly press the Jewish State to conform to his vision of Middle East peace.

Hosting the Jewish delegates in the White House on Monday, Obama said that Israel needs "to engage in serious self-reflection" if it is to succeed in reaching a resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The American president repeatedly made it clear that in his view this can only mean the creation of an Arab state within Israel's current borders. He presented the "two-state solution" as a solution he wishes to promote to deal with Israel's purportedly precarious demographic situation.

President Obama also said that he will continue to press his administration's demands on Israel urgently and publicly, regardless of opposition from the Netanyahu government. Keeping American disputes with Israel from the public eye, as he claimed was done in the past, has not served the interests of peace, Obama informed his guests. He likened this decision to the open and honest conversation needed among close friends.

The hour-long meeting included the heads of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, the National Council of Jewish Women, the UJC, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Hadassah, the Orthodox Union, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the Union for Reform Judaism, the National Jewish Democratic Council, Americans for Peace Now, and the far-left J Street lobby. The president excluded from the meeting the strongly pro-Land of Israel National Council of Young Israel, a synagogue federation, and the Zionist Organization of America.
