Aries — Good point — call/ email your congressman/ senator as well if (s)he has expressed support for Israel.

That doesn’t change that if Obama gets emails and calls expressing support for Israel when he does something perceived as pro-Israel (even if he is doing it for ulterior motives), it is good for Israel. I’m sure you know from your own vast experience working with people that it is not only in Kindergarten that people need to be reinforced for their behavior, and that behaviors that are reinforced are more likely to be repeated.

I think Obama is terrible for Israel — but he is the president right now, and the best hishtadlus we can do until the next election is by making sure he is constantly hearing from people who support Israel. This is a good opportunity to “catch him doing something good” (returning to the kindergarten terminology that is very effective for adults as well).
