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.
