The American-Israeli diplomatic rupture.


There are serious diplomatic ruptures occurring between the Obama Administration and Israel. The Obama team has been demanding publicly and behind the scenes that Israel halt all "natural growth" of existing settlements in the West Bank. Past agreements with the United States are being ignored by President Obama in regards to settlements and natural growth within those settlements. How does Mr. Obama expect Israel to honor agreements with the United States when Obama ignores past agreements with Israel. I warned that candidate Obama would not be a friend of Israel and still the US Jews voted for this neophyte. To the credit of newly elected Prime Minister Netanyahu, he has announced that Israel will not freeze settlement construction for natural growth, despite intense pressure from the Obama administration to do so.

The conviction is growing in Jerusalem that Obama is deaf to Israel's security needs and will try to exploit those policy differences in the media to force Netanyahu into a corner. Roughly a third of Israelis agree that Obama has their best interests in mind and the other two thirds know that Obama is bad for their security. I think you will see a growing divide between the United States and Israel in regards to Israels security in the near future. The two sides try to sweeten their comments in the press to make it appear all is well, but if read between the lines, you will notice that relations are strained at their worst than they have been in decades. PA President Abbas recently predicted, after meeting with Obama officials, that the Obama Administration would force Bibi from office within a few years. Is that just optimism from Abbas or was there something said during those meetings.

In short, Mr. Obama is no friend of Israel. He will throw Israelis under the bus in order to appeal to Muslims. The mindset of the Obama Administration is that all the worlds problems are the making of America and Israel. They think, in a child like like manner, that if we appear to be friends of Muslims, they will not want to cut off our heads and kill our children. As I have stated before, liberals see the world as they want it to be and not how it is really is. That is very dangerous when the most powerful man in the world has a child like view of world affairs. I offer the Israelis my prayers for their safety and well being. If the state of Israel still exists in 2012, I would encourage them to ask their American Jewish brethren to vote for a candidate that will support their existence.

***UPDATE***
The New York Times is reporting today that Obama is considering reducing its support for Israel in the UN if Bibi does not bow to his wishes in regards to settlement construction. I guess the moderate terrorist President Abbas was on to something when he stated that Obama would try to force the downfall of Bibi.

  1. Well-given that Teh One just announced today that America is a Muslim country - this doesn't surprise me one bit that he would turn his back on our only real ally in the middle east.
