Obama and Israel (Update: Links after the fold)

With this one little President Obama has sold our strongest and most important Middle East ally up the creek without a paddle.

“We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so secure and recognized borders are established for both states,” said President Obama.

I again repeat my question: Why do American-Jews continue to support this President in particular, the democrats in general, and the progressives at all?  I know President Bush wasn’t exactly the strongest supporter of Israel with the land concessions he and his State Department got Israel to agree to, but I don’t think a President and his supporters and have as openly hostile towards Israeli security and interests as the current one.
