Israel does not DESERVE blank cheques from the US. They are only a co-belligerent in this terror stuff. They are not our friend. Do freepers understand that nations have no enduring alliances, only enduring interests? Nations sure as heck don’t have friends.
Honestly, in terms of actually FIXING problems, Israel used to be tremendously effective. The 1967 and 1973 wars, the bombing of the iraqi reactor - where is that country now?
What I do find troubling is how the new president intends to approach the major global problem of the rise of radical islam. I am aware of no specific opinion at all from the guy.

Co-belligerent. Talk about leftist-style immoral relativism.

That is an ideological position. We have been friends with Great Britain for a century. Try again.

Alive, which evidently you would prefer it not to be.

Liberal internationalism.
Israel stood down the Intifada twice, and bombed the Syrian reactor. Israel is still there.
Obama promised to flee Iraq in defeat, supplicate to the mullahs in Iran and generally make Muslim Terrorists like us better by bending over.
What part of that did you miss?
Israel has shown incredible restraint concerning the belligerents in Iran over the last few decades.
Look for an end to that under an Obama regime.
I cannot sat that the notion disturbs me, au contraire.
