The U.S. may be willing to send its finest, the soldiers in its military, to Liberia to fight Ebola, but not Israel.

According to a report on Twitchy, America’s best ally in the Middle East for generations has refused to go along with a request from Samantha Power, America’s U.N. ambassador.

The reports have pointedly noted that the U.S. cut off flights to Israel over the recent military activity on the part of Hamas, but has continued to provide flight connections to the Ebola-stricken West Africa.

“There’s a little buzz today on this story reporting that Israel has turned down a request from Samantha Power and the United States to provide medical assistance and personnel to Ebola-stricken countries in Africa,” the report said.

“Does Samantha Power not see the double standard here? To summarize: the United States canceled flights to Israel earlier this summer because of one errant rocket from Gaza that hit near Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, but now wants Israel to send help to hot-zones in Africa?

“Israel was somehow unsafe for air travel, but there are no worries flying Israelis to Liberia or Sierra Leone?”

If they don’t have a feasible way to provide for the safety of their military personnel, then what are the chances we have a way to provide for the safety of ours?

I bet if the Ebola outbreak had occured in Israel Obama would have no problem stopping any flights to and from Israel.

Obama hates America and America’s armed forces. He’s more than happy to treat our warfighters as international social workers and expose them to a deadly disease.

The only thing worse is the cowardice of the Rovian GOPe RINOs in not opposing the homo ****sucker’s unconstitutional actions.

Isn't this the same Samantha Power who loathes Israel's existence?

You just don’t understand. This disease is very difficult to catch, and we are Mericans, we wash our hands and stuff. /s

There’s not a mention in that article of Israel sending people into the midst of an Ebola outbreak.

“Israel snubs Obama”. About time. Typically it’s the other way around.

Odd how Obama’s NOT calling on the Russians or Pakistanis to help in Africa...

Maybe for good reason.

Israelis can’t afford to be politically correct about such things.
