Needed: A Reset with Israel
Tue at 11:01am
The Obama Administration reaches out to some of the worlds worst regimes in the name of their engagement policy. America and our allies watch as sanctions are eased on Cuba. Letters are written to Irans mullahs only to see that regime start killing protestors in the streets of Tehran. Envoys are sent to North Korea as they continue to defy the worlds demand to give up their nuclear weapons. The Burmese military juntas representative is allowed to travel to our nations capital. The Presidents envoy for Sudan talks about giving that genocidal regime gold stars, while the President shakes hands with Venezuelas tyrannical leader. In the midst of all this embracing of enemies, where does the Obama Administration choose to escalate a minor incident into a major diplomatic confrontation? With Iran, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea or Burma? No. With our treasured ally, Israel.
Last October, Secretary of State Clinton recognized Israels desire for peace in the Middle East and praised Israels unprecedented concessions for agreeing to halt settlement construction in the West Bank, a concession that did NOT include halting construction of apartments for Jews in Jerusalem. Even last week after planned construction was announced, Vice President Biden still expressed appreciation for the significant steps taken by the Israeli government to address this minor issue. Now, however, we see the Obama Administration has decided to escalate, make unilateral demands of Israel, and threaten the very foundation of the US-Israel relationship. This is quickly leading to the worst crisis in US-Israel relations in decades, and yet this did not have to happen. More importantly, it needs to stop before it spirals out of control. Vice President Biden should rein in the overheated Obama Administration rhetoric and chill the political spin masters fire as they visit the Sunday media shows to criticize Israel.
Once again, the Obama Administration is missing the boat on a very, very important issue. They need to go back to the basics and acknowledge Palestinian leaders have not progressed any peace process since President Obama was elected. As Israel makes concessions (and is still criticized by the Obama Administration), Arab leaders are just sitting back waiting for the White House to further pressure Israel. The Obama Administration needs to open its eyes and recognize that it is only Iran and her terrorist allies that benefit from this manufactured Israeli controversy. Vice President Biden was actually right when he said last week, before the construction announcement, that one necessary precondition for progress is that the rest of the world knows...there is absolutely no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to security. Right now, thanks to the Obama Administration, there is a chasm. Its time for President Obama to push the reset button on our relations with our ally Israel.

Cindy, do you happen to have a link to the article that said Obama has actually been blocking ALL arms and military tech to Israel since he took office?
