        Here is a "letter to the editor" from the Jewish Chronicle of September 2010 written by our speaker, Ivan M. Lang.
    "Bloomfield confuses Congress with Obama"
     "In the August Chronicle, Douglas Bloomfield in his opinion article denied accusations that President Obama 'dangerously undermines Israel's security" by listing actions taken by Congress and not Obama.
     While it is true that Congress has continued to support Israel by funding military projects in Israel, none of this has anything to do with Obama.
     Obama agreed to sell the following military hardware to various Arab countrie.
     Eygpt: Apach Longbow helicopters, 24 F-16's and 156 F-16 jet engines, four batteries of Harpoon Cruise missiles, fast missile boats, 450 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.
     Saudi Arabia: 2,742 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.
     Jordon: 1,808 Hellfire anti-tank missiles and 162 launchers with night vision.
     United Arab Emirates: 1600 laser guided smart bombs, 800 one-ton  bombs, and 400 bunker buster bombs.
     Morocco: 24 F-16s.
     What war are these countries fighting?
     Obama also chose the following anti-Israel advisors for key positions in his government: Chas Freeman as chair of National Intelligence Council; Chuck Hagel as co-chair of the Presidential International Advisory Board; Samantha Power as Senior Foreign Policy Advisor; James Jones, as National Security Advisor; Susan Rice as ambassador to the United Nations; Rosa Brooks as Undersecretary of Defense advisor.
     Ralph Peters, former Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, said on Fox News in March: "This is our first anti-Israel President; it's bewildering and astonishing."
     Thank G-d we we live in a country that still has separation of powers.

After the publication of this opinion piece, the writer informed the Chronicle that after he wrote this letter, Obama agreed to sell Israel 20 F-35jets.
