I have never criticized former U.S. President Barack Obama publicly—neither during my time in the Knesset nor anywhere else—despite my having disagreed with many of his policies. I am of the strong opinion that Israelis should not engage in or interfere with American politics, and I regularly offer a blanket thank you to all American presidents, including Obama, for their economic and military support for Israel.
However, his memoir, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Promised-Land-Barack-Obama/dp/1524763160" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A Promised Land</a>, is filled with historical inaccuracies that I feel the need to address. His telling of Israel’s story (at the beginning of Chapter 25) not only exhibits a flawed understanding of the region—which clearly impacted his policies as president—but misleads readers in a way that will forever shape their negative perspective of the Jewish state.<ins class="adsbygoogle JNS_InArticle_1" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8573325940152694" data-ad-slot="JNS/JNS_InArticle_1" data-adsbygoogle-status="done"></ins><ins id="aswift_1_expand"></ins><ins id="aswift_1_anchor"></ins>
