Are The US And Israel Heading For A Showdown?

Here’s the question no one is asking as 2012 ends, especially given the effusive public support the Obama administration offered Israel in its recent conflict with Hamas in Gaza: Will 2013 be a year of confrontation between Washington and Jerusalem? It’s on no one’s agenda for the New Year. But it could happen anyway.

It’s true that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process appears dead in the water. No matter how much Barack Obama might have wanted that prize, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rebuffed him at every turn. The president appears to have taken it on the chin, offering more than the usual support for Israel and in return getting kloom (as they say in Hebrew). Nothing at all.

You can't blame Ben for not trusting Obama. Our own citizens don't trust him. Obama is viewing the situation from the muslim point of view. So as far as he is concerned Israel shouldn't be there. At least the Israelis stand for something. The USA has become a spineless, no gonad socialistic republic. Run by a bunch of ppwer hngry fools.

If it were possible, who would annihilate every single American on earth today, if they could? The jews or the arabs? Our position in "their" conflict is a no brainer, case closed.

The showdown needs to be between the responsible citizens of this country and the communists in the government.
