At a November 30 fundraiser, President Obama reportedly told attendees, “I try not to pat myself too much on the back, but this administration has done more in terms of the security of the state of Israel than any previous administration. And that's not just our opinion. That is the opinion of the Israeli government.”

Special Report anchor Bret Baier read the quote to members of his show's All-Star Panel last night, and asked Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, “Charles, is that the opinion of the Israeli government?”

Krauthammer was decisive in his response: “It is not, and I'm sure Obama knows it. If he doesn't, he's delusional. And this is really chutzpah. This president has done more to delegitimize and undermine Israel's position in the world than any other president.”

Krauthammer is apparently party to information that no one else in the world possesses: the fact that the Israeli defense minister is not actually part of the Israeli government.

In August, the current Israeli defense minister, Ehud Barak -- who is also a former prime minister of Israel -- said that “as the minister of defense,” he “can hardly remember a better period of ... American support” for Israel than “right now.”

If Krauthammer missed this statement from the defense minister, perhaps he should watch more Fox News. Barak shared his opinion with Krauthammer's colleague Greta Van Susteren:

Krauthammer's comments fit in squarely with the right-wing media's campaign to create the utterly false impression that Obama doesn't support Israel.

As we've written:

Obama's record on Israel is supportive, and his actions have been praised by Israeli leaders. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu thanked Obama for his support during the last U.N. General Assembly meeting, for providing assistance in extracting Israeli security guards from the Israeli embassy in Cairo, for helping to fund a missile defense system to protect Israel, and for the killing of Osama bin Laden.
