Pamela Geller, Newsmax: Obama Jeopardizing U.S. Relationship With Israel

Obama
Jeopardizing U.S. Relationship With Israel

U.S.-Israeli relations have hit a 35-year low over the contentious east
Jerusalem building project. Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren said,
“Israel’s ties with the United States are in their worst crisis since
1975 . . . a crisis of historic proportions.”

This is because, according to Barack Obama, Jewish homes in east
Jerusalem “hinder peace” with Muslims. According to The Associated
Press, “Israel’s already strained relationship with the U.S. hit a new
low last week when it announced the construction plans during a visit by
Vice President Joe Biden. The timing of the announcement deeply
embarrassed the Obama administration and put plans for indirect peace
talks with the Palestinians in jeopardy.”

What about the timing of the Palestinian Authority’s “honoring” of a
mass-murdering female genocidal bomber, for whom the Palestinians are
naming a square in Ramallah? The Jerusalem Post reported: “The ceremony
was scheduled to take place on the 32nd anniversary of the attack, the
worst terrorist incident in Israel’s history, in which terrorists
commandeered a bus and murdered 37 people, including 10 children.”

It too was scheduled to take place during Biden’s visit, but was
postponed for a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
asked Obama’s Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, to get the
Palestinians to cancel it.

“The announcement of the settlements on the very day that the vice
president was there was insulting,” said Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton. Obama adviser David Axelrod also said: “This was an affront; it
was an insult, but most importantly, it undermined this very fragile
effort to bring peace to that region. For this announcement to come at
that time was very, very destructive.”

Neither Clinton nor Axelrod mentioned anything about the honoring of the
jihad terrorist being insulting. And it will still take place, just a
week late. Yet Obama is pressuring Israel, not the Palestinians.

Jews living in their holiest city is unacceptable, but senior
Palestinian Authority officials joining the Fatah youth movement in a
“popular inauguration” ceremony for a square named for a terrorist is
just fine. The stalkers of the Jews are no hindrance to peace.

What is insulting is America’s abandonment of our most loyal and trusted
ally in a region that can only be described as a hot mess, full of
backward, oppressive, and brutal hellholes — save for Israel.
