Breitbart.com reported today that Israeli Ambassador to America, Michael Oren, has stated that Democratic National Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was not telling the truth when she stated that he had told her that the Republican approach to Israel was dangerous to the State of Israel.

The article reports:

“I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel. Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle,” Oren said, according to Alana Goodman of Commentary.

Meanwhile, the growing alienation of the Israeli government and the Obama administration is leading to fears of a further decline in relations if Obama wins re-election in November.

There really are no words to describe the lunacy of Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s statement. The Obama Administration has not treated Israel well, and it has not supported Israel as Israel has been continually threatened by Iran. Meanwhile, it has supported the overthrow of governments that although not friendly to Israel, were at least not hostile to Israel.

The article further reports:

An Israeli security official believes the distance Obama is placing between the U.S. and Israel is indicative of at least one thing — plans to punish Netanyahu if Obama is able to win a second term.

The unnamed official believes Obama took umbrage at a dinner Netanyahu held in Gov. Mitt Romney‘s honor, and is now positioning himself to “make Netanyahu pay for his behavior.”

President Obama has not visited Israel since he became President. It is no secret that the President and Benjamin Netanyahu are not great friends. If the Jewish vote in America goes for Obama, it will be because the American Jewish population simply is not paying attention.
