All,

Obama could have explained what he supports that is positive for Israel. It doesn`t look like he did.

Does he support Israel`s security? I don`t see it here. Does he support the Quartet`s conditions on Hamas. He didn`t mention it. Will he support an exchange of territory? He didn`t mention it. Will he prevent an Iranian Nuclear Bomb? He didn`t say it this time.

Basically, he didn`t throw these people a single bone.

The leaked story could be wrong. I find it hard to believe that a politician as skilled as Obama would fail to try to sell a story that is sellable. After all, he is supposed to support Arab normalization with Israel, security guarantees and Pal ROR to a Palestinian State.

Is it credible that Obama would leave the real leaders of a key Democratic interest group with a completely negative message?

Why did they want to keep the meeting a secret? Is Obama afraid to admit that he meets with Jews (most of whom are fellow Democrats)?
