Joy Behar’s jokes don’t generate laughs, so it’s not always easy to tell when she’s joking, but we’ll assume she was kidding when she tweeted that President Obama would rather talk to her than to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That was a joke, right? But as Obama angrily recounted that he has visited Israel (as a candidate), his apparent snub of Netanyahu in favor of an appearance on “The View” was on a lot of minds.
If Obama stands with Israel, why could Netanyahu not get a metting with him but the ladies of The View could? #finaldebate #lynndebate

Obama says he will stand with Israel, but won't meet with Iraeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN/?

Reminder: Obama saying tonight he stands with Israel. A month ago he ditched Isreali PM Netanyahu for the ladies of The View #debate

*tomorrow* Netanyahu to Obama "Hey, so glad to hear you clarify that you have our back!" Obama to Netanyahu "Get away from me loser!"

The president’s campaign had his back on his claim that he has Israel’s back.

Conservatives, though, aren’t convinced. Something about actions speaking louder than words?
Obama will stand with Israel if attacked (while creating conditions to ensure such an attack).

"I will stand with Israel, if they are attacked" – Obama. Bob should follow up: '67 borders or today's boundaries? #debate

Hey Obama: it's not "IF Israel is attacked." It's about PREVENTING them from being attacked!

Obama just says things he knows the public wants to hear, but that are contrary to his actual record, e.g, Israel our greatest ally

Obama: "I will stand by Israel is they are attacked." (And not a second before.)

Romney just won this debate calling out Obama for running to middle east and skipping Israel.

Romney pounds Obama on letter from nearly 40 Democratic senators alarmed at frayed relations with Israel. Boom.

Obama is great friend of Israel, but he just hasn't had the chance to get there- Really? Remember on Nov 6 to Vote #Israel Defend America!!

Is this the shorter Obama policy on Israel?
"You skipped Israel."
