During a Fox News interview with Chris Wallace, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said that Israelis feel that President Barack Obama has turned his back on Israel.
Well, all you have to do, Chris, is like I have, go to Israel and talk to average people, you know, on all ends of that spectrum. And I couldn’t find a single person there who didn’t feel that this administration had turned their back on Israel.
Dr. Carson wrote in a piece in the Jerusalem Post: “By playing politics with a critical national security issue, President Obama is cementing his well-earned legacy as the Divider in Chief.”

Carson told Wallace that the president should unite people rather than criticize them for having a different point of view.
The position of president of United States should be one where you begin to draw people together behind a vision, not one where you castigate those who believe differently from you. I think it’s a possibility for great healing, if it is used in the correct way.

Carson asserted Obama used anti-Semitic themes throughout his August 5th speech at American University.
Shockingly, his diatribe also was replete with coded innuendos employing standard anti-Semitic themes involving implied disloyalty and nefarious influences related to money and power.

Wallace asked Carson to clarify his comments concerning Obama’s alleged anti-Semitism.
I think anything is anti-Semitic that is against the survival of a state that is surrounded by enemies, and by people who want to destroy them, and to sort of ignore that, and to act like everything is normal there, and that these people are paranoid, I think that’s anti-Semitic.
