Everything you say is true. That being said, IMO the US has shown

his way to try to show friendship to the Jewish people in different
ways such as by some of his appointments and by holding a seder in the
White House.

I think he's deliberately chosen the most empty of
gestures to fool people into thinking just that.

The Obama administration is already pressuring Israel and trying to
force her with threats.

Threats? What threats?  The "threat" of  nuclear Iran?

Perhaps I'm naive, but I don't take that "threat" seriously.

Really? Then why did you write this:

Plus Iran has or will soon have a missile system capable of reaching
Europe and beyond.

I don't see that as a threat by the US or the Obama administration.
Yes, Iran is a potential threat, but as another writer here correctly
pointed out, what should the US do? And if the US does little or
nothing, I don't see that as a threat to Israel . . . . Iran is the
threat here, not the US.

That is not to say that I agree with all of Obama's policies. Perhaps
he is naive, soft, etc.
