. . . "In July of last year, during the outbreak of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, a Pew Research Poll indicated a sharp division between Republicans and Democrats on their support for Israel. According to Pew, in April of 2014 prior to the onset of violence, 68% of Republicans and 46% of Democrats sympathized more with Israel than the Palestinians. Following the outbreak of violence, the number of Republicans who sympathized with Israel rose to 73% while the number of Democrats fell slightly to just 44%." . . .. . .
"Yet another poll asked Israelis which American President in the last 30 years was the worst for Israel, and a whopping 68% chose Obama, with Jimmy Carter coming in a distant second with just 16%.Given the fact that Israel is politically divided nearly in half between left and right, it is clear that the majority of Israelis view security as their highest priority." . . .

"Who will support Israel’s right to defend herself against our common enemy, and to attack that enemy head-on? Who is more inclined to treat Israel as a friend and an ally? When you consider these questions, there is little doubt that we should be cheering for the Republican candidate."

Perhaps their fear of Obama is because of decisions such as this:

believed to have helped direct ISIS’ illicit
financial operations. Ibrahim herself is suspected of having played an
“important role” in the group’s terrorist activities . . .
