Memo to the lobby: Obama’s online ‘town hall’ asks, Why so much aid to Israel?

Today, President Obama held a different kind of town hall meeting where people could send him questions through www.whitehouse.gov. The questions were then voted on and the President answered some of them during an online meeting.

I noted yesterday the different tone of the Israel/Palestine question in Tuesday night's press conference. Well, check out the top five Israel-related questions submitted to the president (click to enlarge):

I haven't seen a transcript of the town hall yet so I don't know if he addressed these questions. The White House website does say that it will continue to address the questions over the "next week or so." Hopefully they'll take these on. Obviously, inquiring minds want to know.
