President Barack Obama's "main mission" was to prop up the Islamic world, and the abstention from the U.N. Security Council vote condemning Israeli settlements was a "parting shot against Israel" and a "subliminal message to the Islamic world that he still stands with them," the former major of Shiloh, Israel, David Rubin told Newsmax TV on Thursday.
"You cannot build strong alliances throughout the Islamic world without going against Israel, because unfortunately in the Islamic world, it's not acceptable to be supportive of Israel or even to say something good about Israel in public," Rubin told Bill Tucker, guest host of "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"So that was Obama in the beginning of his first term, and now Obama is going out at the end of his second term with a parting shot against Israel and sort of sending a subliminal message to the Islamic world that he still stands with them."

Obama's Islamic "mission" to make his presidency about building U.S. ties with the Islamic world at the expense of Israel was chronicled by Rubin in his book "The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama."
"I can't accuse Obama of not being consistent," Rubin added on the president's views against Israeli settlements. "This is always been his belief. It was his belief before he came into office, and this is just a continuation of his mission to improve the ties with the Islamic world and to help the Islamic world to come closer to the United States.
"That has been his mission and as a result of that, he's also been very anti-Israel."
Rubin pointed to Obama's father and stepfather as inspirations for his mission on behalf of Islam.
"I leave it to the psychologists to examine about Obama's relationship with his father who passed on, or with his stepfather, who were both Muslims, but Obama's mission became to improve ties with the Muslim world," Rubin said.
