Israel: One less thing for me to worry about. . . For now, at least.

This past Sunday and Tuesday, the Republicans and I lost the fight opposing Health Care Reform. But with that aside, I’m glad that Israel got their settlement and won another round in this fight for what is rightfully there’s. Thats just one less thing for me to worry about. . . For now, at least. I am aware of President Obama’s naivety about the Israeli & Palestinian conflict. President Obama tries to play peaceful mediator with an obvious bias for his beloved Palestinians. The Palestinians, who are kicking back happily, while President Obama pressures Israel into making more determined concessions, are also aware of President Obama’s bending of the situation. Why does President Obama bear such corporeal coercion onto Israel while not exerting any pressure on the Palestinians? For as long as I’ve been interested in politics and foreign affairs(which has been since early high school)I have always known that Israel is one of America’s greatest allies; and not because the conservative Right tells me so, but because I’ve read and researched the past.(But I must be honest, having a thing for Jewish men used to have a lot to do with it). From the beginning of its birth, when President Harry Truman first recognized the new state, Israel has since then been a loyal friend. It should be evident that Israel has made great feats of sacrifices to try and establish a sense of peace and resolve within the center of the Middle East. It seems to me that President Obama is failing to recognize this. Pressuring an ally in any way, especially that of Israel, is equatable to a slap in the face. I’m sure President Obama is aware of the 2005 evacuation of Israeli settlers in the Gaza strip, which was then handed over to the Palestinians, along with a part of the West Bank. I think thats more than enough so that the Palestinians can thank the Israelis with thousands of rockets that were fired into its cities. So, my question is, what’s up with that, President Obama? But my main worry is that Israel may not win the next round and that they will be forced to make even more concessions which will ultimately make Israel as less safer Israel.
