From HotAir.com:
Barack Obama talks a lot about the “spirit of bipartisanship.” Now he’s had a chance to see it for himself, thanks to a series of diplomatic fumbles between the White House and Israel, usually one of America’s closest allies. More than three-quarters of the US House of Representatives signed a letter expressing dismay over the direction of the alliance.
The contents of the letter shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of our readers who have read Ari and I (predominantly Ari) bash Obama on relations with Israel repeatedly since his coronation inauguration. A whopping 327 congressmen and congresswomen signed this letter, recognizing that Obama needs to stop penalizing the allies of the United States to suck up to its enemies:
We are concerned that the highly publicized tensions in the relationship will not advance the interests the US and Israel share. Above all, we must remain focused on the threat posed by the Iranian nuclear weapons program to Middle East peace and stability.
[...]
We recognize that despite the extraordinary closeness between our country and Israel there will be differences over issues both large and small. Our view is that such differences are best resolved quietly, in trust and confidence, as befits longstanding strategic allies. We hope and expect that, with mutual effort and good faith, the United States and Israel will move beyond this disruption quickly, to the lasting benefit of both nations.
I know that one of your readers in a previous post jumped on this, but I’ll restate that Obama’s foreign policy is blatantly anti-Semitic. He tries to suck up to the Muslims and terrorist states like Iran while throwing Israel under the bus. I’m glad congress had some sense and is trying to put a stop to it now.
To me, this act of congress is no different than if a serial killer sent a victim’s family a Christmas card. Sure it’s nice and all, but it doesn’t change the past; it doesn’t make things better, nor does it make me more comfortable with their direction. It’s all smoke and mirrors. At the end of the day this is till Pelosi’s congress.
israel needs to stop committing war crimes if it wants the support of the west
And Islam needs to stop calling for the complete destruction of the Jewish state. Jews were there first, everyone else in the area should just put on some big girl panties and suck it up.
