This could come from his Muslim environment when a child. He never comes out strongly in support of Israel. Do you think that is because he is afraid of offending Muslims? Do you think Obama would go as far as being a Holocaust denier to pander to the Muslims?

What do you think?

Actually Mira your poll answers aside from the yes or no should be re posted as poll questions.

Some of the questions you gave as responses would be very good if they are able to be polled

Everybody is hiding something but Obama is not an anti-Semitic.

What are you attempting to hide, Mira? It seems to me that you may not be doing a very good job at it.

Definitely. That's why most of the key people in his election campaign, and many of his closest advisors now (including his Chief of Staff) .... are Jewish!

Pretty lame article or course the highest respect possible to the author.

I was personally expecting at least one iota of data to back up the authors claims.

Blearc, never "claimed" anything, just asking questions. Due to the fact, I have never heard him come out publicly, strongly in support of Israel, ever. If you have Obama on record strongly supporting Israel, please bring it here.

And then there is the evil empire of Iran to deal with. And, of course, Obama's administration will let Israel do the dirty work of eliminating Iran's nuclear capabilities. And then his administration will gasp with feigned righteous indignation that Israel would do such a thing. As if they would without the United States full support and cooperation.

Not being 100% in support of every policy and action carried out by the Israeli government does not make you anti-Semitic. Otherwise there would be quite a few self-hating Jews in the United States.

Did Ronald Reagan once have sex with a German Shepherd in the coat room of Studio 54? Not saying he did, just asking questions. I never heard him publicly deny having sex with a German Shepherd in the coat room of Studio 54, therefore it must be a valid question. I hate when people employ this idiotic tactic.

I think the fact that he just put a Jewish woman on the highest court of the land says he's not anti-Semitic.

While Andrew has a point:

http://truthinessplease.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-obama-israel-quotes.html

Here's another one:

The Israeli people, and Prime Minister Olmert, have made clear that they are more than willing to negotiate an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that will result in two states living side by side in peace and security. But the Israelis must trust that they have a true Palestinian partner for peace. That is why we must strengthen the hands of Palestinian moderates who seek peace and that is why we must maintain the isolation of Hamas and other extremists who are committed to Israel's destruction.

Boehner's middle name is also Andrew. This tells me that you're obviously a closet Republican in search of that perfect orange glow. Sorry pal. It is what it is.

President Obama doesn't automatically kiss Israeli right-wing butt. That is a good thing. That does not make him anti-Semitic, but a decent human being.

I once supported Israel blindly. They convinced me not to. I cannot support the oppression and elimination of the people of Palestine. Apparently, neither can Obama, or at least I hope he can't. Will the right-wing in Israel seek to replace our President? Would they start a war in Iran hoping to drag the USA into it and weaken our President?

I expect the Israelis to be active in US elections like never before. That is not a good thing. I wonder if this very thread isn't pro-Israel and anti-Obama at the same time. Is it?

Though the presidents father was Muslim and when growing up Obama spent many years in a predominantly Muslim area in Indonesia, I do not think he is Muslim but if he was this would only prove in America how any one can become president. Of course with the exception of the Jewish, and Catholics minus Kennedy (first Catholic to be president).

Odd how a Jewish name never made it on a presidential ballot, I do not think Americans are antisemitic but as most other countries do not want a leader who is Jewish. Nixon was a known antisemite though his greatest asset and adviser was Henry Kissinger, most cabinets always has a Jewish voice, and in Obamas cabinet he has more than previous administrations. He is far from a antisemitic and far from a supporter of radical Islam, he is sympathetic to Islam, but he is also this way with Judaism, Christians along with most religions and causes.

I find it quite a feat for Obama becoming president, not because of his African paternal roots, but with the very ethnic sounding name "Barrack Obama" he was able to win the presidency.

Winning legally and uncontested by the majority of the people even with a stigmatic name, this showed Americans are not biased or swayed by religion or color.

In Obamas family tree there are Muslim roots, but most important is he was duly elected by the people of the USA and he is a practicing christian as of all reports.

Wow, that was the worst glitch I've experienced on NV. The post didn't go where it should and it came out double.

Actually, I don't believe Obama is anti-Semitic. I just think that either he is getting poor advice from his staff or he is trying to bend over backwards to please the Muslim world. He has certainly made some bad choices.

I'm not paranoid at all. I have learned the ways and methods of the right-wing, whether here in the USA or in Israel. They are nearly identical. I have learned the ways of the neo-cons, and watched them start a war, beat the war drums, and get all anti-Arab/Muslim at the drop of a pin.

I am not paranoid, at least not yet. Nobody is out to get me, personally. At least not yet; the USA has not yet descended completely into fascism. I am, however, cynical. I have come to expect the worse from the right-wing, and have no belief whatsoever that Israel will leave the West Bank and/or permit a homeland for the people of Palestine. At least not with a right-wing in power over there.

I am cynical, to be sure. I expect the worse. Why wouldn't I? I think my attitude points to a grip with reality, rather than not. What is unrealistic about my attitude and the factors I state which generate and support it?

This post is a cheap trick, as in: write a controversial headline and see what happens. So now weak support for Israel or not offending Muslims denotes anti-seminism? Give me a break!

It will certainly rain on the Angy Rights parade if POTUS is able to broker a deal this time around.

He is very good at cleaning up after previous presidents...

What do you think?

What do I think? I think you have no idea about Obama's life before he was elected President or even today....that his mentors, neighbors, campaign contributors were and are Jewish....that Rahm Emanuel, his closest friend, served in the Israeli Army as a civilian volunteer....that many Jews consider Obama the first "Jewish President." I think you have no idea that Michelle Obama has a relative on the Board of Rabbis. I think you must get your views from Fox News. I think your questions and your one-paragraph-article are so beyond foolish, to add my true feelings will violate the CoH.

Israel will always have a friend, an ally in the U.S. To suggest that Obama might be a Holocaust denier or an anti-Semite is outrageous and it can't be forgiven as merely a question. "He is hiding something." WTF??

And in ending, I think you have absolutely no idea who Netanyahu is, who Netanyahu was in the 1990's and I don't think you understand how unstable Netanyahu's government is.
