My wife is Jewish and has the same opinion -- she, and many
thousands of Orthodox Jews, who say that the political move

I'll leave others to argue over all of that. But I fail to see how
the current state of affairs over there is much better than it
was under the the British Mandate. The Palestinians/Arabs who
are citizens of Israel will eventually outnumber the Jews there.
From what I hear from my wife's family in Israel, they already
outnumber the observant Jews.
Perhaps we would all be better off today, if some alternative
political solution had been reached back in the 1940s.
I feel he is against everything Israel does and wants.
Well, I suppose you can feel that way. But, if you also feel
he is anti-Jewish, there are several millions of voters in New York,
southern California and coastal Florida you should be talking to.
Obama thinks the Palestinians are victims and blameless for their plight.
I doubt that. But if he thinks any such thing, he has not been
paying attention to history since the 1940s. At any rate, there
are now two generations of Palestinians who had nothing to do
with the events of earlier years. I would count them as "victims,"
even if we decide to blame their own parents and the leaders of
the surrounding Arab nations for their current plight.
And Obama hates the notion of any religious state, but perhaps feels Jews and Evangelicals are the real instigators.
I too hate religious states: from Calvin's Geneva, to Joe Smith's Nauvoo,
and from Bhagwan's Oregon Rajneeshpuram to David Koresh's
Waco Compound.
If you want to talk to a sympathizer in theocracies, you'll have
to find some other poster here to converse with.
