Great post and thanks fo much for sharing
President Obama is no friend of Israel. He sides with your enemies. Their beliefs match more of his own than do yours. A major problem here is that this is the same for us. He wants to 'fundamentally change' America because he does not like what we are and have been. I use the term 'not like' because I am not entirely certain that the term should be 'hate'.
If it comes to warfare, Israel cannot expect our current President to back you. This applies in just about ANY situation, even if Israel is overtly attacked. I hope that your leadership understands this.
