THE WEEKLY STANDARD has learned that senior Obama administration officials have been telling foreign governments that the administration intends to support an effort next week at the United Nations to set up an independent commission, under UN auspices, to investigate Israel's behavior in the Gaza flotilla incident. The White House has apparently shrugged off concerns from elsewhere in the U.S. government that a) this is an extraordinary singling out of Israel, since all kinds of much worse incidents happen around the world without spurring UN investigations; b) that the investigation will be one-sided, focusing entirely on Israeli behavior and not on Turkey or on Hamas; and c) that this sets a terrible precedent for outside investigations of incidents involving U.S. troops or intelligence operatives as we conduct our own war on terror.

There is a fundamental unfairness to singling out Israel, beset with enemies on every side, as the sole source of the problems of the Middle East. It’s a lot easier for American Jews to be seen as liberals and progressives than as supporters of Israel.
Obama hates Israel, I dont know why this is such a shock. Look at the people he has surrounded himself with his entire life, this doesn’t surprise me at all
Weak.
You declare X is not a good jew.
I declare that some or all X could very well be good jews. I’m not in a position to say one way or the other.
Do what you wish. You go girl. Put me also in whatever bad bin you’ve got labels for.
From my experience, the people who visit Israel are mostly Christians looking for Biblical sites.
I’m a Jew who voted against Obambi so there are a few sane Jews out there still and we’re starting to get other Jews to snap out of their Democratic Coma...You are right, as a Gentile I have more in common with you than these Liberal Jewish fools...
If liberal jews are unable discern between right and wrong, then I suppose that is why they remain voters in the Democrat/Communist/Marxist/Socialist wing of the political spectrum.
Israel BOMB Iran NOW!!!
Wow...we truly have a total complete dumb@$$ for President.
Tick tock tick tock...just a matter of time and he shall reap what he sows. It will not be pretty.
Please go back to Kenya you pretender.
God bless you, sir/ma’am. I’m not exactly what one would call a church goer but as an American I know who our friends are.
everytime this obamanation supports terror against Israel, I have to wonder just what it is going to take for the US Jews to get the message? Are they simply blind and deaf, as the Bible alludes? Nothing else makes sense to me. Otherwise they would see that they are as guilty as the obamantion and hitler (2 of a kind) in supporting these horrors against their privileged race.
If Hitler came back as a Democrat attacking Sarah Palin, non-religious "Jews" would vote for him. They put Marx over Moses. It is a disgrace. Thankfully religious (Orthodox) Jews are having 7.5 kids per family and voting Republican, while liberal JINOs are turning gay, aborting, or converting. So thankfully we should be rid of this scourage of Commie JINOs within a generation.
ROFLMAO! Thank for the laugh. So funny yet so true.
Bttt!

I don’t know if you’ve seen the Ace of Spades’ treatment of this. It’s one of the most succinct yet powerful rebuttals of the WH policy I have seen anywhere. He is very articulate, and he reduces this mania to the bare bones very quickly.
Here’s one excerpt: “Question Number One: Why are these damned Jews so stubborn about survival? Why can’t they just get with the pogrom?”
Yes. I just reread that. It’s very good. Thx.
What is Oboma doing instead? Throwing the American people and their allies under the bus in the name of Allah.
I didn’t realize you were/are an Ace of Spades reader. When he gets fired up, he takes command of the language and makes truly formidable points. He can be crass, but he’s also the kind of guy you’d want in a foxhole next to you, if it every came to that, imho.
My money's on the one you didn't mention.
Obama is a sophomoric narcissist whose actions are guided by a combination of incredibly naive idealism and a towering self-regard.
And his idealism, in turn, was formed by the opinions with which he grew up -- which would be leftist in tone and tenor, and therefore (in this case) viscerally opposed to Israel.
I honestly don't believe he's given much thought to the longer-term consequences of his actions.
That's not true. American and Israeli interests in the region have been tightly intertwined for decades. Obama's doing nothing new: American presidents have always taken an interest in matters like this.
Obama's attitudes and treatment of Israel are quite different from those of his predecessors, however.
