Since our president has come into office (actually before he came into office, if his attendance for decades at the pro-Palestinian terrorist, anti-Israel Reverend Wright’s church is any indicator), he has made it abundantly clear that he is just chaffing at the bit to aid his Arab friends in their quest to put an end to Israel once and for all.

The only thing holding him back from going all out in an anti-semitic frenzy, in my opinion, is the fact that most American voters and indeed most American politicians of either major party look upon the Jewish state as a friend and ally of the United States.

From a column by Wesley Pruden in today’s Jewish World Review, a favorite read of Seth’s when he’s around (Hmm, that hasn’t been for awhile now, but we’re praying that he’ll be back soon and everything will again be as it was):

Another tough decision is coming up for Barack Obama. This one ought to be easy, even for the ditherer-in-chief. But before he decides to do the right thing he’ll need all the bicarbonate of soda in the White House pantry.

The Arab League, on whom the United States and the “great powers” of Europe depend for the moral authority to impose the no-fly zone over Libya, now wants the United Nations to impose a similar no-fly zone over Gaza, whence the Palestinians fire their rockets at Israeli schoolchildren. The Israelis, naturally, fire back with air strikes. This inconveniences the Palestinian rocket batteries no end, of course, and the Arab League is eager for someone, since the Arabs have never been able to do it, to make the Israelis submit to their own destruction.

How do you say it? Oh, yes SNIP!

President Obama has peopled his administration with prominent policy-makers and aides who wear their hostility to Israel like Easter finery. Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., is a passionate and impetuous critic of America’s only reliable ally in the Middle East. Samantha Power, the senior director for multilateral affairs (this is not as naughty as it sounds) at the National Security Council, once in a fit of little-foot stamping proposed landing a “mammoth force” of American troops to protect the Palestinians from Israel. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is appropriately diplomatic in her present incarnation, but as the first lady she famously embraced Suha Arafat, widow of Yasser Arafat, with hugs and kisses at a rally in the Middle East in 1999.

Here’s the column in its entirety.

Now, I suppose, we wait and see how the “Ditherer-In-Chief” responds.
