Obama and Israel: The Silence of 'Friends' | |

Someone should think seriously about building a machine, into which a decisive action like cutting funding to UNESCO could be entered. The machine, a wonderful piece of software, would file the action and then at the end of a six month period check to see whether it had been negated. If it had been negated the person who took the decisive action would be attacked by sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads. It think it would be the appropriate treatment for Short Attention Span syndrome, as well as for Poltroonery. If that wasn't enough evidence of the President's "unshakeable bond" with Israel, these policy decisions come exactly at the same time Israel is engaged in a cold, covert war against Iran and making preparations for a possible strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. As the song goes, "That's what friend are for." All you gotta do is figure out who's the "friend." Once you've got that down, watch the hands, not the lips. The president really believes -- as a "friend" -- that Israel should do nothing with regard to Iran except boost its ability to defend against a nuclear attack and focus on reaching a peace treaty with the Palestinian authority. President Obama still believes that the key to neutralizing Iran and its alliance with Hamas and Hezbollah is for Israel to cut itself down to the size and shape of the Palestinians' liking. That particular size and shape would possibly include a ghetto off in one corner of Arab Paleostine, with Jewish feet forbidden in al Quds. | |

#3 No one in Israel's chain of command believes the Obama administration will support pre-emptive military operations, whether they be against Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran I doubt that anyone here believes that either under BO. |

#2 Give him another four years and he'll be singing "dubul ibhuna." We know how much he loves to sing and chant. Few surprises here. |

#1 That is why I count on Israel being Israel. And you know what? Screw the world. |
