US President Barack Obama, in a recent interview with Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic, reaffirmed his support and love for Israel because, as he claims, “it is a genuine democracy and you can express your opinions.”

He further expressed his commitment to protecting Israel as a “Jewish state” by ensuring a “Jewish majority.”
