Not everyone was surprised by the Obama Administration’s latest attacks on Israel.
Noted anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan appeared on the cover of Obama’s church magazine at least three different times.
Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick is not surprised by the latest US crisis with Israel.
From her webpage:
The Obama administration’s calculated decision to escalate its open attacks against Israel over a routine decision by the Jerusalem Planning and Building Board to approve 1,600 housing units in Ramat Shlomo neighborhood presents Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu with an unenviable task. He has to either relinquish Israel’s sovereignty over its capital by capitulating in the face of the unprecedented American assault, or he can tell Obama and Clinton and their cohorts to go to hell. It is depressing, and let’s face it, a bit scary that the US, which has refused to raise a finger against Iran’s nuclear program or any other rogue action by any other US enemy has decided to go after Israel in this fashion. It is depressing, but not surprising.
Anyone who paid the slightest attention to who Barack [short for Barakeh in Arabic] Obama is before he was elected knew full well that this man is an enemy of Israel. He was a member of an ardently anti-Semitic church for more than two decades. His friends ranged from virulently anti-Israel and anti-Jewish like Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayres, Jeremiah Wright, Samantha Power and Susan Rice — among others — to radically post-Zionist like Arnie Wolf, Rahm Emmanuel and David Axelrod not to mention Joe Biden.
Given his pedigree, no one should have been surprised that Obama has chosen to stir up a crisis in his relations with Israel.
Bibi can tell Obama to stick it where the sun don’t shine and rally the Israeli public and Israel’s many friends in America to his side and so make it impossible for Obama to carry on doing this with immunity. Or he can lick Obama’s boots and set the clock ticking faster towards the destruction of this country.
What’s it going to be Bibi?

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) released a statement today urging the Obama Administration to immediately defuse the building tension with Israel. Jennifer Rubin says AIPAC rarely if ever releases statements like this directed at a US Administration.
By the way… By an 8 to 1 margin, Americans say the US should side with Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians…. But not Team O.
