"According to the polls, there is doubt [about Obama's friendship]. Now it's true that we have some differences to resolve, as even the closest of friends among nations always have. [But] in word and deed, the president stands by Israel as its closest friend and will continue to do so."

Israel's "closest friend"? If Obama is such a close friend, why has he yet to visit Israel, notwithstanding trips to Egypt and Turkey?
The recent appointment by Obama of Chuck Hagel, no friend of Israel, as National Security Advisor raises additional questions.
General James Jones attendance as the keynote speaker at J Street's first conference, which even Israeli Ambassador Mike Oren refused to attend, creates further doubt.
Let's see what Obama does with the Goldstone report in the UN Security Council. In addition, when Israel's two-front war with Iran's proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, draws near, let's examine the price demanded for this amity.
After watching Iran's dissidents being left in the lurch and the sellout of democracy in Honduras by the Obama administration, forgive my skepticism.
Does anyone really know what lies behind the mask of moderation fashioned by Axelrod?
