The people that don't consider Obama pro-Israel also feel the same way about Hillary Clinton.
Reasonable people understand that both of them are/were pro-Israel.

With respect to Trump, I don't think he has any actual opinions on the subject and certainly no understanding or interest in learning more about the situation.
