Israel, in Today's News 07.25.09

Israel. The Zionists are getting a little testy about the Obama administration's policy toward Israel.

First some sixteen Zionist leader met with Obama to express their concern (and make veiled threats). (See here.) Now in today's Wall Street Journal appears an opinion piece by the editor of the quarterly journal of the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

The article is meant as a further warning to Obama. "Mr. Netanyahu was sworn in as Israel's Prime Minister on March 31. Shortly thereafter, the Obama administration confronted Israel's new leader in a very public way regarding Israeli settlements in the West Bank...This was an extremely unusual way for an American president to greet the new leader of a liberal democracy that's a close ally of the U.S."

Obama is an old, old friend of the Zionists. But his maneuvering around the mideast issues (Palestine, Iran, militant Muslim-ism) is making the Israelis very nervous.

And if the past is any indication, you better know what you are doing if you are going to irritate the Zionists.
