AMERICAN JEWS REJECT MOHAMMAD OBAMA


(JPost) — US President Barack Obama is at risk of losing financial support for his re-election campaign from Jewish donors and fund-raisers because of concerns about his attitude towards Israel, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The complaints began early in Obama’s term, centered on a perception he has been too tough on Israel, the report suggested.
According to The Wall Street Journal, top Democratic fund-raiser Michael Adler said he urged Obama campaign manager Jim Messina to be “extremely proactive” in countering the perception in the Jewish community that Obama is too critical of Israel.
There are some Jewish donors who claim that the US president has put too much pressure on the likes of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to halt the construction of housing settlements in the West Bank, the report said.
Obama is also putting more pressure on the Israelis than the Palestinians to enter peace negotiations, according to some Jewish donors, The Wall Street Journal reported.
