Set aside his anti-Israel policies. The hostility seems to go beyond that.

The White House's forthcoming state dinner with the Prime Minister of India is expected to be larger than those of President Barack Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush. But another upcoming White House event will be smaller than in years past: The White House's annual Hanukkah party.

The guest list is expected to be shrunk by more than half, according to the Jerusalem Post. "Though several Jewish leaders expressed understanding for the economic and other reasons behind the cut, they acknowledged that it would likely help feed feelings in some quarters of the American Jewish community that the White House is giving them the cold shoulder."

The move comes on the heels of Obama's cancellation of an appearance before the General Assembly of North American Jewish Federations last week.

On the other hand, Obama still held the big Eid meal for Muslim leaders, and has made a point of sucking up to Muslims at home and abroad at every opportunity – even when a Muslim terrorist kills American soldiers on an American military base.

Sort of what you would expect from a guy who sat in the pew at the anti-Semitic Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church for a couple of decades.
