President Obama was rude and crude toward our ally, Israel, last week when the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu came to visit.
Mr. Obama refused to have photographs with Mr. Netanyahu and then left his guest to eat dinner on his own while Mr. Obama went to dinner with his family.
What's this all about? Well, the Israelis are building houses in East Jerusalem, apparently something that is routine, but which Mr. Obama is opposed to because it happened while the Vice-President was visiting Israel. The Israeli response? No way, Mr. Obama.
And what has happened? Well, Obama's Administration looks pretty petty.
And Mr. Obama's stance has hardened Palestinian resolves to talk about "peace", so he has stopped the peace process.
And Mr. Obama has managed to further alienate our only ally in the Middle East, Israel.
Plus, Mr. Obama looks rather silly. Now even Congress is reprimanding him. From the Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=171945
"Three-quarters of the House of Representatives signed a bipartisan letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressing solid support for Israel and the expectation that differences between Jerusalem and Washington will be smoothed over quickly and in private."
