Ponder the following scenario. Hezbollah instigates Israel by kidnapping a couple of soldiers or sending a suicide bomber or placing their new Syrian/Iranian scuds on the border. Israel retaliates and the confrontation with Hezbollah escalates. Israel has has it with the Syrians supplying weapons to Hezbollah and decide to go after Damascus. Israel depletes its weaponry and asks the US to resupply its forces. Barack Obama must make a decision whether to supply Israel with arms to continues its mission. BO hesitates on the decision, perhaps by demanding tying rearmament to concessions. Iran says okay the US is hesitating on arming Israel, here is our chance and launches an all out attack to finish off Israel. Israel fights for it's existence. Far fetched? I do not think so.
Show me one action BO has done, not words, that demonstrate that he will be there for Israel when the time comes. By his inactions and negative behavior towards Bibi, BO is quietly giving the signal to the Arabs that their next chance to eliminate Israel is coming up. So not only will he stand by while Israel needs him but in effect, by his current behavior, he is instigating a conflict. The tiniest crack in the relationship between the US and Israel will be exploited by the Arabs.
The only reason BO involves himself with the Israel-Arab conflict is for his own self promotion. His mission is solely to put his name onto a peace accord regardless of the effect on the parties, specifically Israel. Just like in the case of health care he doesn't care about the substance of the legislation he just wants to glorify his name and ego by achieving something that has been elusive to previous administrations. It has always been and always will be about BO, not about the effects of his policies on the parties involved. His narcissism supercedes any potential damage to the underlying parties.
I would love to have a private conversation with Bibi and find out what he really thinks about BO. I can hear him saying privately to his wife when no one else listens that he is an antisemite, couldn't care less about Israel and that the American Jews threw Israel under the bus by overwhelmingly voting for this radical. Even though I didn't vote for him, I am ashamed as an American Jew that we assisted in getting him into office. My sincerest apologies to my brothers and sisters in Israel.
