		<description><![CDATA[Really? Humiliating Netanyahu in Washington, unilaterally declaring that Israel needs to cede territory to indefensible borders of 1967. Embracing and praising those sworn to Israels destruction as his first and primary acts after being elected: Barack Hussein Obama’s very first international call as president of the United States was to a Palestinian terrorist leader, his first international speech was to the people of Egypt who dedicate themselves to Israel&#039;s destruction. And of course what he didn&#039;t do spoke even louder: he would not visit Israel his entire first term, lest he be seen commiserating with the Muslim enemy. It was only after his delusion of &quot;Arab Spring&quot; didn&#039;t come to fruition that he visited Israel recently, when he couldn&#039;t get Netanyahu to adapt policies which would destroy Israel. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s a list of Bush&#039;s transgressions. Bush was the President who:

(1) Insisted on conducting elections in Gaza knowing full well that Hamas would come to power

(2) Rescinded $289.5 million in loan guarantees to Israel as punishment for what he considered &quot;illegal settlement activity&quot; --and vehemently criticized Israel for all settlement activity in the international arena.

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/26/world/us-rescinds-part-of-loan-guarantees-to-israel.html

Bush also called for a return to pre 1967 borders.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W73v4p6Yyg

While Obama also criticized settlements, he DID NOT rescind any loan guarantees as punishment. He even voted against a resolution in the UN Security Council penalizing Israel for its settlement activity.

http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/18/world/la-fg-un-israeli-settlements-20110219

(3) Had an endless number of dealings with the Saudi royal family (the biggest sponsors of Islamic terror and anti Israel brainwashing) that empowered them beyond belief, and put them in a position of great influence. Thereby exponentially increasing the threat of Islamic terrorism.

http://www.amazon.com/House-Bush-Saud-Relationship-Dynasties/dp/B000CC491W

(4) By invading Iraq and toppling Saddam -- removed the only natural deterrent to Iran&#039;s nuclear ambitions-- empowering Iran to openly pursue its previously clandestine, virtually non-existent, nuclear research. Not to mention, bankrupting the US with that expensive, unnecessary war.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steven-strauss/george-bush-iran_b_1338027.html

(5) Told Olmert to f*** off (not literally) after he pleaded for help in destroying Syria&#039;s nuclear facilities, after which Olmert did it on his own.

http://www.timesofisrael.com/olmert-struck-syrian-nuclear-reactor-in-2007-immediately-after-bush-refused-to-do-so/

(6) Who appointed Condoleeza Rice, one the most anti Israel folk in town, who had carefully veiled her anti Israel sentiment all along. Which became known only after Olmert destroyed Syria&#039;s nuclear reactor.

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama isn&#039;t anti-Israel no matter how many times the right may wish to paint him that way.  From raising military aid to record levels, to fully funding Iron Dome, to his unequivocal stance about Israel&#039;s right to self-defense during Operations Pillar of Defense and Cast Lead, he has been solidly behind Israel when it counts.  Some of his rhetoric (treating eastern Jerusalem as settlement) I disagree with, but it is no different than what President George W. Bush was saying in his second term and he was touted as a great friend of Israel.  President Obama even got the Europeans lines up behind Israel during Operation Pillar of Defense.  Anti-Israel?  Only in the minds of right-wingers who miss no opportunity to trash a supportive President.]]></description>
