Obama Torpedoes Israel
Why is President Barack Obama so obviously humiliating Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu? Why is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton negating everything she said when she represented New York state and piling on the Jewish state?
They want Netanyahu out. They want him to feel such pressure that he dumps his right-wing coalition partners and forms a new government with the Leftists Party Kadima, headed by former Prime Minister Tzipi Livni. Livni, the one who thinks nothing of trading land for the illusion of peace.
On March 3, that same Livni said in a Knesset debate, that since Netanyahu took control "Israel has become a pariah country in the world." She is trying to use Obama's and Clinton's rejection of Netanyahu's course to force her way into the government. And Obama and Clinton are intent on helping her do so by publicly humiliating Netanyahu.
Netanyahu insists that he'd be happy to negotiate a peace accord. But, as he told me last year, "I just don't have a peace partner with whom to negotiate."
The Palestinians are expert at playing "good cop/bad cop" with Israel. The good cop — the Palestinian Authority — wants to negotiate a peace deal and insists on signs of Israeli good faith in order to do so. Meanwhile, the bad cop — Hamas — fires missiles at Israel from Gaza, land Israel ceded to the Palestinians in order to promote the peace process earlier in the decade.
Any peace deal with the Palestinian Authority will not be binding on the terrorist group Hamas, so it continues to seize the newly ceded land through elections or military action.
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
When Hillary Clinton and President Obama explode in indignation against Israel for building apartments in East Jerusalem, they deliberately miss the point: There is no reason for Israel to formulate peace negotiations when there is no single person or group that is both committed to peace and speaks for the entire Palestinian people. Without a peace partner, who the hell do you negotiate with?
There is no one that really wants peace. Palestinian opinion wants a war with Israel and the prevailing political authority in Gaza insists on the Jewish state's eradication. There's peace for ya.
And meanwhile, through American aid to Gaza, the idiot Obama administration is helping Hamas to solidify its position in Gaza and lengthen its lease on political power — the very power it is using to torpedo the peace process.
Whom is he really supporting? The Muslims of course.
