Obama campaign targets Jewish vote

2012-01-26 11

A clip produced by President Obama's reelection campaign targeting Jewish voters, features a long line of Israeli senior officials seen praising him. The video's "stars" may be surprised to find themselves included in the clip, as they never gave interviews for the campaign. The video, titled "America and Israel -- an Unbreakable Bond" shows Netanyahu thanking the president for his commitment to Israel and peace. It also shows Obama putting his hand on Netanyahu's shoulder and the two walking outside the White House. The seven-minute clip presents Obama as a president unshakably committed to Israel's security and features footage from Obama's single visit to Israel as part of his previous presidential campaign in 2008. He is seen at the Western Wall, Yad Vashem and flying in a helicopter with Defense minister Ehud Barak and Kadima's Tzipi Livni.
