Last week, Obama went to a synagogue in Washington DC in celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month, where he yukked it up with over one thousand adoring fans, referring to himself as an “honorary member of the tribe.”

Not exactly sure what that means, but…whatever.

However, not everyone was impressed.

Mort Klein, President of Zionists of America, wrote the following response to Obama’s speech:

Via Israpundit: Obama Again Tries To Pull The Wool Over Pro-Israel, Anti-Nuclear-Iran Eyes in Synagogue Speech

In a speech…at Adas Israel Synagogue in Washington, D.C., President Obama voiced his usual empty flowery platitudes about having Israel’s back and never allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons, and even asserted that he was “an honorary member of the tribe” – while promoting policies that place a knife squarely in Israel’s back, and lying about his record and the Iran nuclear deal.

The President’s platitudes were clearly meaningless: In the next breath during his speech, Obama complained about Jewish “settlements” – which are in reality Jewish communities in historic Jewish land comprising less than 2% of Judea and Samaria, and promoted a Palestinian state – while ignoring the facts that the Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to promote anti-Jewish hatred in their schools, media and speeches, and that the PA is part and parcel of a unity government with the terrorist group Hamas, and that both the Hamas and PA President Abbas’ Fatah party’s charters call for Israel’s destruction….

The President also referred to Judea and Samaria as Arab land in his speech – when the Jewish people have the greatest historical, political, religious and legal right to these areas. After all, we are called Jews because we are from Judea.

The President also made the nonsensical statement: “The rights of the Jewish people then compel me to think about a Palestinian child in Ramallah that feels trapped without opportunity.” This is absurd in light of the fact that Israel has given away all of Gaza and almost half of Judea and Samaria, where the Palestinian Arabs run their own lives other than sharing security: the Arabs have their own Parliament, schools, textbooks, newspapers, radio and TV stations, businesses and police force….

The President also falsely claimed during his speech he wants a full discussion about how to stop Iran. Yet, he lobbied Congress incessantly to “disinvite” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from speaking to Congress about the very same subject – how to stop Iran. Obama also twisted Democrats’ arms to not attend PM Netanyahu’s speech, and fought against Congress having any say on the Iran deal. The Obama administration also adamantly refused to treat the Iran deal as a treaty – which would require approval of two thirds of the Senate – despite the fact that virtually every past nuclear deal has been deemed a treaty….
