Approximately 80% of American Jews voted for President Obama, and in Israel his approval rating is 3%, at times 4% or 6%, do you feel that this is an indication of a divide between American and Israeli Jewry? And is it possible that American Jewish influence is actually harming Israel's interests and physical safety?
It is extremely disappointing to see that American Jewry voted for Obama, even though a lot of them realized that he is very bad for Israel. Some of them think it's good for Israel to be pressed against the wall and surrender to the Palestinian's demands; the left wing is always there. What is even more worrying is the silent majority, the greater body of American Jews who really care for the State of Israel, but put the American interests first. They thought Obama is good for America. That's why they voted for him, even though they knew how dangerous he is for Israel. That's extremely disappointing it is a bad sign in the relations between the American Jewry and Israel.
I was asked by various senators and leaders in both the White House and the State Department about the feeling of Israelis towards Obama. I guess they knew the polls and it shouldn't be a surprise to them, but I told them that he is regarded in Israel as one of the most anti-Israeli presidents that they have known, maybe the worst since Carter.

I suppose American Jews who care about America but put Israel's interests first are citizens of the wrong country... The brainless should not be in banking -- Willem Buiter
Similarly, when Americans sell out their national interest to the highest bidder, it's treason. Except when Israel is the highest bidder. Then they are supporting their natural and cultural allies in the struggle against communism radical Islam the natural enemies of the Volk Eastasia.
