Carly Fiorina, along with other Republican presidential candidates, has said that on her first day on the job she would call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to reassure him that the U.S. will always stand with Israel.”
That call would probably be especially welcome after today, when President Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly and dropped any mention of Israel from his speech, much as educational publishers have omitted Israel from maps and textbooks for certain markets that prefer the world that way.
In 2013, @POTUS uttered the word "Israel" 15 times during his speech at the @UN General Assembly. In 2014, six times. In 2015, zero times.

Perhaps with the Iran nuclear deal now in place, there’s no reason to express concern or support for Israel anymore. The real problem at hand, as President Obama explained, isn’t the safety of Israel but rather the fact that “chanting ‘Death to America’ does not create jobs or make Iran more secure.”

@AnneBayefsky He doesn't care…never has.

@AnneBayefsky Because Obama doesn't give a damn about Israel.

@AnneBayefsky b/c he knows @UN hates Israel as much as he does so why bother?

@AnneBayefsky Just maybe he isn't a friend of #Israel. Not a surprise is it.
Would have been great if he told them we have #Israels back.— Rongrand (@RonGrandUSA) September 28, 2015

Speaking of danger, the White House tweeted President Obama’s particularly poignant observation that no nation can insulate itself from terrorism — or worse.
"No nation in this Assembly can insulate itself from the threat of terrorism…or the danger of a warming planet." —@POTUS #UNGA

@WhiteHouse @POTUS Get off the warming planet bullshit for just a minute. Absolutely a power grabbing hoax
