Former US President Obama says he is ‘basically a liberal Jew.’

The JC – by Lee Harpin

Former US President Barack Obama has said that he is “basically a liberal Jew.”

Mr Obama made the remark while speaking at a New York synagogue last week on his criticisms of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

He also said: “To be a true friend of Israel it is important to be honest about it, and the politics of this country sometimes do not allow for it.  

The event at Temple Emanuel in Manhattan was the first time that Mr Obama had spoken publicly about Israel since leaving office.

He defended his decision to abstain at a December 2016 UN Security Council vote denouncing Israeli settlements.

He added: “To be a true friend of Israel it is important to be honest about it, and the politics of this country sometimes do not allow for it.”

He also warned that the West Bank settlement situation is “not sustainable” and could endanger the future of both a Palestinian state and Israel.

  1. “He added: “To be a true friend of Israel it is important to be honest about it, and the politics of this country sometimes do not allow for it.”

    Since when?

  2. I’ve been telling this to people since his first year in office. His Mom was a Jew (and a cheap slut), and that makes him a Jew, regardless of any Muslim ring he wears.

  3. Obama remarked…candidly with TMZ.

    I’m not black…

    I’m Jewish. …

    In fact I agree with the state of Israel putting a 9k bounty on those negroes.

    The last thing we need is people running around Salt Lake city that look like…

    Lenny Kravitz.

  4. Obama wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the nose.
    Look at all the lies he told while he was president.
