SUMMARY: On Fox News' Glenn Beck, Ben Stein claimed that "at the 2004 Democratic convention," President Obama "gave this list of terrible misconduct in the world. And at one of them things was Israeli misconduct towards the Palestinians. And I remember thinking, 'Whoa, this guy is part of that Minister Farrakhan axis that does not like Israel.' And that, in fact, has proved to be true." In fact, Obama did not mention Israel or Palestine at the 2004 convention; moreover, Obama has repeatedly expressed support for Israel, and Stein's claim echoes that of other conservatives who have falsely claimed otherwise.
