US Ambassador to Israel James B. Cunningham on Tuesday visited Bnei Brak, stopping in the home of Maran Hagon Rav Aron Leib Shteinman Shlita.
According to reports, Maran Rav Shteinman praised America as a “Malchus Shel Chesed”.
The ambassador was explained by Bnei Brak Mayor Rav Yaakov Asher that he doesn’t make a move in the city without consulting with Rav Shteinman first, to which the Ambassador responded: “It’s very important that you have someone that you can go to for advice. It’s a big responsibility, and I’m sure that the Rabbi is a very key person in your society who you consult with.”
The ambassador made an official visit to the Torah city, meeting with the chief rabbi, HaGaon HaRav M.Y.L. Landau Shlita. An official ceremony was held in City Hall as well with the mayor and city officials.

What on earth was the point of this visit? Perhaps so that when Obama stabs Israel in the back he can reference this to show that he is not, chalila, anti-semitic???
And/Or…
So that when American officials visit the ayatollahs they can use THIS visit to prove how even-handed they are?
What evidence do you have that Obama is anti-semetic? He is simply pro himself. If that means being anti semetic, anti arab, anti black or anti white, he will do it to promote his image.
