President Barack Obama defended Israel yesterday at his Florida town hall gathering. When an audience member asked a targeted, anti-Israel question, Obama rose to Israel’s defense and publicly supported Israel by saying:

Israel is one of our strongest allies ... It is a vibrant democracy. It shares links with us in all sorts of ways. It is critical for us and I will never waver from ensuring Israel’s security and helping them secure themselves in what is a very hostile region… So I make no apologies for that.
