Democrat animosity toward Israel comes from the top

Matt Brooks:
...
Openly declaring an ally's leader as "chickenshit" or calling him racist is typically left for the most provocative members of each party's fringe. Instead these comments have come from administration officials and elected Democrats, most likely echoing sentiments expressed higher up in the White House.

We need to get past this playground name-calling and get back to the issues. We need to ensure Israel's and America's security through bipartisan support across this country. We need to help maintain Israel as a bulwark of Democracy in a region plagued by failed states and terrorism.
...
Judging by this administration's rhetoric and actions it seems that policy is being dictated by personal emotions in the White House, and sadly rank and file Democrats are choosing to remain silent. Here at the Republican Jewish Coalition we will not stand by and remain silent without offering those Jewish Americans who care about Israel a home.

I think it is a mistake for those who care about Israel to not take the rhetoric coming from this administration seriously.  Resorting to insulting language usually means logical argument has failed them.  In the case of Israel, this administration is willing to put Israeli lives at risk in order to achieve a political objective of dubious merit.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
