Three Cheers For Obama

There are reports that the Obama administration is getting very tough with Israel over Settlements. This is high time. Resolving the issues in the Middle East is the biggest priority in the world today, because from it flows benefits to all the other tensions, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention homeland security. The Administration must stand firm not only against the Israeli government’s preposterous and universally unacceptable position, but with the vast Israeli lobbying complex in the U.S.

Israel and its people deserve a just and lasting peace. They have shown themselves stubbornly unable to embrace the faculties necessary to achieve it. They must now be dragged to the table by the ear.
