Obama is Israel’s friend

I like President Obama very much. But the Israelis don’t like him because he was soft on Iran.

The Iranians shouldn’t have nuclear power if they are going to threaten their neighbors. Let them get oil from their Saudi friends or Venezuela.

Obama is not anti-Semitic because he still provides Israel with tons of military aid, and he celebrated Chanukah at the White House.
