It was a most unpleasant situation for US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who attended the annual Jerusalem Post Conference in New York City. Lew was greeted with loud boos by the audience attending the conference on Sunday, 20 Sivan 5775. The audience rejected his affirmation of US President Barack Obama’s commitment to Israel’s security and his pledge to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Lew’s efforts to present Obama as a staunch supporter of Israel were quite unsuccessful as his statement “No administration has done more for Israel’s security than this one” was met with boos and shouts of “nonsense”.
Jerusalem Post editor Steve Linde tried to calm the audience as he apologized to Lew, a senior US administration official. Mr. Linde explained that Secretary Lew was instrumental in Israel being accepted in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development).

“No administration has done more for Israel’s security than this one”
Lol. Clinton said the exact same thing when he was President.
Even if we assume the Democrats including President Obama love Israel, Israeli is seriously threatened by their policy of reducing the military capacity of the United States and their unwillingness to confront Iran or to effectively opposed groups such as ISIS, al Queda and Boko Haram.
Erav Rav Kapos are our worst enemies.
“Lol. Clinton said the exact same thing when he was President.”
And they were both right.

What is more disgraceful is selling out 6,000,000 Jews in Eretz Ysroel and putting them to mortal danger, even by “religious” Jew.
