Obama: "The relationship with Israel is unshakable"

"The U.S. support to the welfare and security of Israel is unshakable." Barack Obama chooses to stage the conference of the Jewish lobby in the United States, AIPAC, in Washington to address the controversy of two days ago when the U.S. president after the bilateral meeting that was held in Washington with Israel declared that " there was a need to define the borders between Israel and the territories.

The turning point for Obama on Israel's borders dividing American Jews

A proposal to support "with all my heart." Approach "pragmatic". "It could cause you to lose the Jewish vote."

It is not just a fact. The support of U.S. Jews to Obama and the Democrats - in terms of votes, funds, influence public opinion - will be key for re-election of president in 2012. In 2008 Jews accounted for 2% of the American electorate. 78% vote, then, for Obama. That massive preference for the Democratic candidate did not surprise anyone.
