Krauthammer in the Washington Post asks of Obama’s policy toward Israel:
The only remaining question is whether this perverse and ultimately self-defeating policy is born of genuine antipathy toward Israel or of the arrogance of a blundering amateur who refuses to see that he is undermining not just peace but the very possibility of negotiations.
Oh and let me be clear. When I say that I hope Obama has antipathy toward Israel, it is because this is a rogue state that is hurting America and hurting Palestinians. Sometimes antipathy is a good thing, as a motivation. Lincoln hated slavery even as he was willing to tolerate its presence in the southern states. Myself, I find that I can’t hate Israel. Jews made it, and they made it for reasons I understand. They were wrong, desperately wrong, they made the wrong choices. But only fierce opposition to Israel’s policies, including an opposition taken up by proud Jews, is going to save this mess.
