Obama wrote a long letter to President Bush Tuesday urging him to press forward with the peace process now. It is two pages long and speaks of our unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security and says that Israel’s security has been hurt by U.S. “policy choices.” Not sure what that means. The letter is filled with imprecations about Hamas and pressure on the Arab states. There is not a word about the ever-expanding Israeli colonies in the West Bank. Even Yahoo was featuring this great story from McClatchy yesterday on Israel’s defiant settlements policy. I assume Obama’s cravenness has to do with his wooing of Hillary’s donors. Our politics are broken.
