While Helen Thomas and much of the world condemns Israel for defending itself against genocidal terrorists in Hamas-run Gaza, the Times of London reports that one of the Arab World’s largest and wealthiest members, Saudi Arabia, has made a secret deal with Israel – with Obama’s help.
“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over [in jets] and they will look the other way. They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren’t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [U.S.] State Department,” reports the Times.
Little Israel, it is hoped, will deal with Iran’s nuclear program. President Obama, it seems, would like isolated Israel, whose prime minister he distains and whose self-defense policies he condemns, to take the heat for what should be an American effort to save the world.
However, hope and change is about making government bigger at home, not defending it against enemies abroad. Those who killed our citizens on 9/11 and continue terrorist acts here at home, won’t be named by this administration. This disconnect from reality also extends to Israel. Obama’s counter terrorism advisor, John Brennan, refers to Jerusalem by its Arab-occupied name, “al-Quds.”
During the Cold War, the smaller nations of Europe maintained a cordial relationship with totalitarian Russia out of fear, comforted in the assurance that the “American imperialists” would come to their rescue if the Soviet Red Army came a-calling.
Now a pathetically weak president and the pampered, self-appointed Saudi royals turn to the Middle East’s only democracy to pull their chestnuts out of Iran’s potential nuclear fire.
President Obama just added 350 million Americans to the list of sniveling moral cowards that make up his cherished international community.
