Does Obama really believe he can stop these settlements, or is he posturing for the benefit of the Arab world? I don’t think he’s a practicing Muslim, but there’s no doubt he has extreme Muslim sensitivities. Ultimately the only thing I think he truly practices is self adulation.
He has strong Muslim tendencies and as such I do believe he has a hatred for Israel. His desire to curry favor and make good with the Muslim world is a cause for alarm. His recent jawboning and one sided demands of Israel indicate there’s a good deal of Jeremiah Wright he absorbed during those 20 years. This upcoming speech in Cairo might give a little more insight.
Netanyahu will need to stand strong.
I agree with your statement that BiBi needs to stand firm. However, who will be Israel’s ally while the remainder of the world stands by to see what the U.S. will do?? It’s obvious that Obama is anti Israel; the big question is if Israel takes on Iran themselves, won’t the Arab oil producing nations stand with Iran thus closing off oil production to Europe and the rest of the world’s users? I fear our gov’t will retaliate against Israel.
