Obama: 'No ally more important than Israel'

[King_David]

NEW YORK—President Barack Obama is reassuring Jewish supporters that his administration is committed to the security of Israel. He says: "We don't compromise when it comes to Israel's security."

Obama was speaking to a group of campaign contributors at the Upper East Side home of Jack Rosen, a prominent businessman and chairman of the American Jewish Congress. Obama commented after Rosen mentioned "concerns" within the Jewish community about the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

Rosen added that America has never been as supportive of Israel's security as it has been under Obama.

Obama said no ally is more important than the state of Israel.

5. Well, think now... if there were no Israel with the beginning of the Muslim Brotherhood Winter...

...starting up, the US would have to commit tens of billions of dollars in a naval and military presence in that region that is unnecessary now due to Israel already being there.

6. And if we didn't maintain that presence, what would happen then?

7. Ask Obama and US powers that be. Israel saves the US countless billions of taxpayer dollars. NT

8. I'm not going to ask Obama and I don't think he'd answer if I did.

I also wouldn't trust his answer.

Apparently, you don't have any answer whatsoever.
