Did Obama throw Israel under the bus?

This question frequently comes up in political discussion and in the media...

My answer is as follows:

No, Obama didn't throw Israel under the bus...

HE THREW THE WHOLE BUS AT ISRAEL!

That "bus" is a Middle East swept by radical Islamist/Jihadist regimes, which the Obama administration single-handedly created in extensive alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood, by toppling the relatively moderate secular/national leaderships and replacing them with Islamist/Jihadist tyrannies -- all in the name of so-called Democracy (as if Democracy would apply to Arab populations where the electorate is 80% functionally illiterate and swayed by fanatical preachers in the mosques!)...

In promoting his anti-Israel agenda, Obama was smart enough not to target Israel directly ("throw Israel under the bus")...

Instead, he destroyed the geopolitical landscape surrounding Israel within which the Jewish state survives, and placed Israel in an unenviable strategic predicament toward defending itself in the future ("threw the bus at Israel")!
