| Israel's next 22 months |

| by Caroline Glick h/t Gates of Vienna The next 22 months until President Barack Obama leaves office promise to be the most challenging period in the history of US-Israel relations. Now unfettered by electoral concerns, over the past week Obama exposed his ill-intentions toward Israel in two different ways. First, the Justice Department leaked its intention to indict Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez on corruption charges. Menendez is the ranking Democratic member, and the former chairman, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is also the most outspoken Democratic critic of Obama's policy of appeasing the Iranian regime. ...The long-term implications of Obama's moves to transform US support for Israel into a partisan issue cannot by wished away. It is possible that his successor as the head of the Democratic Party will hold a more sympathetic view of Israel. But it is also possible that the architecture of Democratic fund-raising and grassroots support that Obama has been building for the past six years will survive his presidency and that as a consequence, Democrats will have incentives to oppose Israel. The reason Obama is so keen to transform Israel into a partisan issue was made clear by the second move he made last week. Last Thursday, US National Security Adviser Susan Rice announced that the NSC's Middle East Coordinator Phil Gordon was stepping down and being replaced by serial Israel-basher Robert Malley. I sure hope Bibi didn't fail to congratulate Vlad on the birth of his daughter. |

| #1 Israel will be fine if they reelect Bibi. If they go left then Champ will rape them once and for all -- with their own eager assistance. Actually, if they go left they will kind of deserve it. |
