Only those with a bias will sit here and ignore how many times Obama stood up to Israel during his tenure

I can keep going, but quite frankly, you guys either weren't paying attention because you were still in your anarchist phase or were just oblivious.

Edit: since y’all are too dense to do any more research for yourself here’s a full frontline documentary going over the relationship. Maybe this might be a good enough source for you. Why you couldn’t find this for yourself I will never know

His presidency ENDED 10 years ago. So 26 year olds today may have been paying attention to national politics, but probably not many of them. To really remember his presidency you really need to be in your mid 30's now because his presidency started 18 years ago.

the more you know

You're right, but also, screw you, I'm still a young person and don't you dare imply anything else.
