Reader comment on item: Obama and Israel, Into the Abyss

Submitted by Carl Sesar (United States), Jul 22, 2009 at 23:29

As far as Obama's concerned. The "counterproductive" results -- escalating Palestinian demands upon Israel, the US taking marching orders from Abbas, and Israel's, strengthening her resolve not to bend -- respectively, encourage Israel's enemies, accommodate their every demand and, by forcing Israel to be ornery and stubborn in response, harden a hostile world's opinion all the more against the Jewish state.

What's not for Obama to like? Yes, of course, by these things Obama will do plenty of damage. It's his intention to do so, after all.
