Barack Obama began the first week of June with a series of interviews on the eve of his journey to Cairo to deliver his address to the “Muslim world.” In all of them, he spoke of the Israeli-Palestinian situation and the central importance of resolving it as part of his aim of beginning anew with the Arab and Muslim nations that have grown so disenchanted with the United States.

I used to enjoy Commentary during the Reagan years. Norman Podhoretz is a very kind man whom I was honored to meet in person. His son, John has always perplexed me. He isn’t an outright liberal, but I can’t figure out exactly what he is.
