Isn’t this just a variation on blaming the person who is raped for “enticing” their attacker?

If Israel refuses to capitulate and isolates itself, then they can’t hold obama responsible for what happens...the Joos will have only themselves to blame

Israel is simply doing this to protect itself.

Obama’s plan all along.

Irritate and foment “change” in the ME to the point where American friendly governments like Egypt are destroyed, and the more stable ones are in the hands of active Islamists.

Isolate Israel and make problems.

Oops. WWIII starts in the ME. Just like FDR, doncha know. HE got elected for FOUR terms, and heck, that gives kudos to the radical muslims, whom O certainly identifies more with than those nasty Judeo-Christian whites he pretends to cozy up to.

I think this is all planned. So the world blows up like a tinder box. Who cares. Mr Incompetent at work. Just needs to find a way to blame it all big time on Bush.

Is this not spoken by the pRes_ _ent who has
formed alliances with each of Israel’s enemies,
as he made them drunk with US protection
and US taxpayer money for weapons AND mosques?

Has not pRes_ _ent Obama even made a few
NEW nearby enemies for Israel (once a US ally)?

pRes_ _ent Obama’s term reminds any sentient
that to an antisemite such as Obama,
“isolation” is used precisely to remind
the Israelis that they are now (or will be) alone
in their new “ghetto” of Obama/Ayers/DNC/Ikhwan enemies,
and in the upcoming Obama/Ayers/DNC/Ikhwan/Turkish trap.

Israel reaps the benefits of having agreed to the quartet's proposal to talks. A shame there's no one to talk to on the palestinian side. To fix that, more pressure must be applied to Israel.

Is it enough to maintain a military edge if you’re isolating yourself in the diplomatic arena?

Yes, Mr. Secretary.....it is. Try to remember the original two state solution was met with a declaration of war on Israel by the regional arab nations. Their sentiments haven't changed over the past 6+ decades.

Well, we are stuck in an impossible position: “support for Israel” paradoxically undermines our long-term interest in containing Iran.

We are able to obtain basing in places such as Bahrain largely because their rulers fear increasing Iranian influence, but what much of the Middle East perceives as Israeli inscriptions (for example, the ongoing expansion of settlements) creates an internal political environment in many host countries that makes it highly likely that should their current authoritarian rulers be disposed the US might well lose basing rights - which of course makes it much more difficult to contain Iranian political influence and possible military expansionism.

This isn’t helped by domestic US political situation which essentially gives whatever government is in power in Israel the ability to largely set US foreign policy in the region (a power ceded to no other ally), even when Israeli interests run directly counter to long-term US interests such as limiting Iranian influence and ensuring adequate energy supplies.

The result is we could very well find ourselves in a position a decade hence where “support of Israel” leaves us in a position where we have *both* radically decreased our ability to control the course of events in the Gulf - to the advantage of the Iranians - and have radically decreased our ability to supply military, political and economic support to an Israel which finds itself politically isolated (for example, with regard to Europe) and virtually friendless except for a much less powerful United States.

I don’t think there is any practical solution to this dilemma, it’s just one of those problems posed by history to which there is no practical answer within the constraints of the political realities.

President Obama's new defense secretary, Leon Panetta, has bought into the myth that Israeli inflexibility is the source of the Palestinian conflict.

Hardly surprising, given Panetta's record as a man who praised and associated with communists back in his days as a congressman. His nominations as CIA director and as Secretary of Defense should have been defeated in the Senate. The US and its allies will continue to pay the price for the insufficient vetting of Panetta until he is out of office.
