Do you think the Obama administration is anti Israel?

I think that Obama's heart is anti-Israel, but his policies are pro-Israel out of political necessity.
 
Let's see.

Over 75% of Jews voted for Obama in both elections and or gave him campaign contributions.


Something tells me no.
 
No. Like any other POTUS he is Pro-Israel.

I'd struggle to label Carter as pro-Israel, especially in the years after his Presidency.

Keeps the funds going to Israel.

Which, for the record, isn't necessarily indicative of out and out support. We supply Palestine and Pakistan with foreign aid as well. Does that qualify this administration as staunch supporters of either?
 
And I told you why.............The Arab countries hold us hostage for their oil and Obama by not allowing drilling here in the U.S. plays right into their hands....It has been said by experts in this country that that the U.S has more oil then all the Arabs combined.

Do you ever get tired of being so painfully wrong?

Look at the rhetoric, and look at the actions. He is clearly pro-Israel.
 
That is bull crap, in 2008 the US was importing almost 13,000,000 barrels a day and now only 9,800,000 barrels a day. And the imports from the Arabs went down from almost 6,000,000 barrels a day has gone down to 3,700,000 barrels a day.

And having oil does not mean it can be safely or economically extracted with ease. Fracking might produce oil but also serious consequences for the environment, the same goes for oil in nature reserves.


Show a link for those figures.
 
I want us to get to a point where we don't import one gallon of oil from the ME and the keystone pipelife would be a move in the right direction.

The Keystone Pipeline would accomplish absolutely nothing to that end, since it wouldn't increase oil production at all.

How can you say **** like that? Keystone would provide millions of gallons of oil and provide this country with thousands of badly needed jobs......Kobie lay of the left wing koolaid.

I'd agree. I just thought I'd point out some less than reputable assumptions that some often rely on.

All the Keystone pipeline does is move oil from one place (Canada) to refineries. It is not an oil producing entity. You have quite literally no idea what you're talking about.
 
Considering that Obama's policies on Israel are EXACTLY the same as the past 5 other administrations, if Obama is anti-Israel....I guess that makes Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2 anti-Israel as well.
 
The answer to our oil woes not drilling ourselves out....it is about new technology creating energy alternatives. We are already well on our way in that direction.

As a caveat, Obama has taken a position on border negotiations that stray from recent administrations. To say that Obama has been pro-Israel would be accurate, but to say that his policies are exactly the same as his predecessors would be incorrect.

That doesn't happen over night. That will take decades if not longer. Until then, oil is the solution to the problem.

He means well.

In regard to the thread question, I don't think Obama is anti-Israel. I just think he is just more pro-American first. I got no problem with his policies towards Israel. They are still our allie. We just aren't taking as much **** from them anymore and giving them free passes. That don't make us "anti." Look upon it like "tough-love."
 
At worst neutral. Most likely pro-Israel.
 
I rarely respond to your posts because they don't say anything.

Oh you mean like the posts where I ask you for a link to support the incredible whopper you are trying to sell? Honestly, you do make me laugh.

The Administration is anything but anti-Israel. If Israel was in any real danger, all of Europe and America would swoop in and save them. The idea that the US is not taking sides (necessarily) is being construed by the war hawks in Congress and in the media as a sign that the Obama Administration is supporting a terrorist group in Hamas while turning its back on Israel. Just because the US is not publicly defending the bombing of civilians by Israel DOES NOT mean they are against or anti-Israel, it means that somebody in the administration has a conscience.
 
Well what do you think?

No. This is administration just has more friction with the Israeli government and is generally more skeptical of the narrative advanced by Israel. It is also more sympathetic to the Palestinian position than others. But it isn't particularly extreme or unique.
