Boteach is supportive of Israel, and critical of American policy towards the country. Boteach has argued that the Obama administration "bullied" Israel, arguing that U.S. Middle Eastern policy is "scandalous" and "disgusting".[42] He is also supportive of Israeli settlements, including the Hebron settlement, the residents of which he characterizes as marked by a particular "warmth, friendliness and hospitality" and views as being "liberated from hatred."[43]
