Obama is too busy courting the Muslims to stop in Israel
The Washington Post last year admitted that it had “leaned” toward Barack Obama in the presidential race. That’s ridiculous. The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans,but it still stands. The Post and the rest of the liberal media fell over flat for him. Chris Matthews admitted to feeling a tingling going up and down his leg. The rest just wrote like that.
President Obama’s Mideast trip has been hailed as a “new beginning.” Indeed it is. Obama very pointedly did not visit Jerusalem on this his first trip to the region.
Liberal Democrat Harry Truman dared to recognize Israel in 1948 — minutes after the struggling Jewish state was born — and minutes before Egypt,Saudi Arabia,and the rest of the Arab world tried to strangle the infant in its crib. Republican Richard Nixon — despised by the liberal media — saved Israel’s life by re-supplying her with arms during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
The U.S. commitment to Israel has been a constant of both parties — until now. By demanding a halt to the natural growth of Jewish settlements on the West Bank,Obama is applying a tourniquet to Israel’s throat. If she cannot grow,she will die. Which is what Obama’s new-found friends have wanted since 1948.
