Obama Regime Supporters Furious That GOP Won't Join In Regime's Attacks On Israel

From Gateway Pundit:

FAR LEFT IS FURIOUS That GOP Won’t Join in Team Obama’s Attacks on Israel

Do you remember when Jesse Jackson said that under Obama Jews would lose all of their clout?

He was right.



The Obama Administration even joined in the UN’s apartheid-style ban on Israel in September.

It’s no secret that Barack Obama is the most anti-Israel president in US history.

Now, the far left is outraged that Republicans won’t join in their attacks on Israel.

Think Progress reported:



Politico’s Laura Rozen reports that in an “unusual, if not unheard of” move, Netanyahu also met Wednesday with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA). Cantor’s office stated that the presumptive Majority Leader would fight the Obama administration on behalf of Israel:



Regarding the midterms, Cantor may have given Netanyahu some reason to stand firm against the American administration.



“Eric stressed that the new Republican majority will serve as a check on the Administration and what has been, up until this point, one party rule in Washington,” the readout continued. “He made clear that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States, and that the security of each nation is reliant upon the other.”



Rozen also noted that a “veteran observer of U.S.-Israeli relations Ron Kampeas said he found that statement ‘an eyebrow-raiser.’” “I can’t remember an opposition leader telling a foreign leader, in a personal meeting, that he would side, as a policy, with that leader against the president,” Kampeas wrote, later adding, “I have it on good authority that as late as last week, Bibi’s people were at pains to deny that such a meeting would take place.”



While Cantor’s office later told Kampeas that it disputes his interpretation of what Cantor’s office said happened in the meeting, this isn’t the first time Cantor has undermined the Obama administration’s policy on Israel. On a congressional delegation visit to Israel last year, Cantor offered support for Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank and countered Clinton’s criticism of Israel’s handling of the eviction of two Arab families from a house in East Jerusalem earlier that week. “I don’t think we, in America, would want another country telling us how to implement and execute our laws,” Cantor said.
