Israel Matzav: Jewish 'leaders' continue to defend Obama

Jewish 'leaders' continue to defend Obama

The 'leaders' of the American Jewish community, the same people who reassured that community that despite Barack Hussein Obama's association with the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Samantha Power, there was no need to worry about how he would treat Israel, are continuing to defend Obama against the uncomfortable charges being made against him.

Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League has publicly criticized the administration on several Israel-related fronts. Still, he said, Jewish leaders have a responsibility to defend the president “when talking to those who accuse him of being an enemy of Israel or a Muslim.”

“For many years, you had a lot of Jews who didn’t vote for President Bush who would say, ‘I don’t like Bush but I love what he's doing on Israel,’” Foxman said.

“Now the paradigm is changing. A lot of Jews are saying, ‘I like Obama, but I don’t like what he is doing on Israel.”

Foxman added that the most frequent question he hears when speaking to Jewish audiences is whether Obama is a friend of Israel.

“I say yes -- but what's wrong is the implementation of what he promised. What's flawed is the strategy, not the goal,” Foxman said.

The ADL leader quickly added that despite promises to learn from past mistakes, the administration’s handling of Israel-related issues is “going from bad to worse."

What will it take to awaken people like Foxman (and he is by no means the only one cited) to the fact that Barack Hussein Obama, best buddy of Rashid Khalidi, 20-year congregant of Jeremiah Wright, and colleague of Billy Ayers, is an enemy of Israel? Will an Iranian nuclear bomb crashing into Jerusalem do it? Will an El Al plane shot down by a handheld missile from the hills of Samaria do it? A Katyusha rocket hitting a major office building in Tel Aviv?

Why are they so blind?
