Bachmann: American Jews Have Sold Out Israel by Supporting Obama
by Matt Wilstein | 6:04 pm, March 4th, 2014
During an interview with Tony Perkins of the Christian conservative organization Family Research Council Monday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) expressed her dismay over the way Jewish people in America have embraced President Barack Obama. By doing so, she said, they sold out Israel.
Once again invoking the biblical End Times prophecy, Bachmann questioned Obamas dedication to one of our greatest allies. I just believe that as believers in Jesus Christ who see the authority of scripture, I believe that the Lord and his strong right arm will have Israels back and will be her protector, Bachmann said. The question is, will we as the United States cooperate in standing with Israel and blessing Israel, or will we join those nations that come against her? She added, We are definitely on the wrong side. It is jaw dropping, it is stunning, its breathtaking.
While Obama made promises that he would have Israels back, Bachmann does not see him following through on them. Thats what makes it so hard for her to believe that American Jews have stuck with him. The Jewish community gave him their votes, their support, their financial support and as recently as last week, forty-eight Jewish donors who are big contributors to the president wrote a letter to the Democrat senators in the U.S. Senate to tell them to not advance sanctions against Iran, she said. This is clearly against Israels best interest.
What has been shocking has been seeing and observing Jewish organizations who it appears have made it their priority to support the political priority and the political ambitions of the president over the best interests of Israel, Bachmann continued. They sold out Israel.
