Israel Has Found New Allies

Israelis—along with all the other disappointed allies—are learning how little it pays to be on Barack Obama’s good side

Israeli security fence on Egyptian border, and Hamas Terror Tunnels

Let’s just say it up front and avoid tip-toeing around with politically correct language. President Obama and his administration are the most anti-Israel to have held office and likely the most anti-Semitic. Forget about his public declarations of friendship and support for Israel. For six years Obama has demonstrated his antipathy toward the only democratic nation in the Middle East, the Jewish state.

That’s why an anonymous administration official felt free to call Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, a “chickenshit” and “a coward” while being interviewed by Jeffrey Goldberg for an article in The Atlantic.

He or she had to know the comment would go public. Netanyahu was accused of only being interested in his political survival and afraid to launch an attack on Iran to slow or end its nuclear armament program. In an effort to comply with U.S. demands, Netanyahu actually had put himself at political risk at home. None of Obama’s demands were rewarded or acknowledged and, for now, those days are over.

Both Iran and the Islamic State are Shiites. …

Really? Care to double-check that, Mr. Caruba?

The Three Amigos; Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt!
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Israel will need to sleep with one eye always open. Sort of like they have been doing every day since about 1967.

Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling of confidence in the rest of his analysis, doesn’t it?

I’m afraid I don’t understand the problem with secret tunnels.

I don’t know for sure, but I would think detecting secret tunneling would be one of the easier things to do using tech.

Sound and vibration detectors every hundred yards along the border and nobody ever builds another tunnel successfully.

I just don’t see any way to dig really quietly.

I'm sure that official felt he or she had plausible cover, inasmuch as those epithets were probably not original to him/her, but they'd been bubbling in quiet, inner circles of the administration for months if not longer. I trust it could've been any of dozens of administration officials that had guardedly--or not--expressed those or similar sentiments.

Democrats elected a President from hell... next they're going to push Clinton - not a dime's worth of difference between 'em.
