Barack Obama is all over the map when it comes to Israel, just as he is with everything else. Obama wants to be all things to all people. Here is what he said about Israel to Jeffrey Golberg (JG below) of the Atlantic Monthly, as reported by Jim Geraghty at National Review Online. Emphasis is by Geraghty.

JG: Do you think that Israel is a drag on America's reputation overseas?

BO: No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy. The lack of a resolution to this problem provides an excuse for anti-American militant jihadists to engage in inexcusable actions, and so we have a national-security interest in solving this, and I also believe that Israel has a security interest in solving this because I believe that the status quo is unsustainable. I am absolutely convinced of that, and some of the tensions that might arise between me and some of the more hawkish elements in the Jewish community in the United States might stem from the fact that I'm not going to blindly adhere to whatever the most hawkish position is just because that's the safest ground politically.

To be fair, in the same piece, Obama says that "my commitment, our commitment, to Israel's security is non-negotiable." One could argue that Obama is referring to the problems between Israel and the Islamic countries, yet he seems to blame pro-Israel American Jews for the lack of a "resolution to this problem."

Has it ever occurred to Obama that the problem in the Middle East is not Israel, but those who wish to destroy her?

Mark my words:  a President Obama would negotiate away Israel's existence for the sake of peace, just as Neville Chamberlain negotiated away the Sudetenland for "peace in our time." Obama claims to want peace, but his actions would lead to a war the likes of which has never been seen.
