None of this is surprising, though. Obama’s sympathies are on the Islamic side of the Arab-Israeli conflict; we’ve known this from day one. In addition, peace is always placed above Israel’s national security in these situations. All I can say is that I really hope Israel stands its ground here. At the end of the day the Jewish state is an independent nation, and really needs to stop buckling to U.S. pressure and take care of its own needs.
