“In the intifada that began in 2000, Palestinian terrorism killed more than 1,000 Israelis. As a portion of U.S. population, that would be 42,000, approaching the toll of America's eight years in Vietnam. […] In the 62 years since this homeland was founded on one-sixth of 1 percent of the land of what is carelessly and inaccurately called "the Arab world," Israelis have never known an hour of real peace. Patronizing American lectures on the reality of risks and the desirableness of peace, which once were merely fatuous, are now obscene.”

Of the 74% of Jewish Americans who voted for The Lecturer-in-Chief, their mindless disregard of all the signs and signals that He displayed and projected during His nauseating hopey-dopey campaign is as unfathomable as it is unforgivable. It was eminently clear, for all who deigned to look, that He is no friend of Israel, and most likely a closet Jew-hater. The latter clarity of vision, though admittedly speculative, could well be the reason all His personal documents are as closely guarded as never before for any Chief Executive of this Nation.
For all the lip-service to the "Never Again" mantra, the Americans who are within a couple of generations of someone they knew of, who either perished in or survived the Holocaust, it is simply amazing to me that they could ignore, excuse, or apologize for The Obama's lecturing and hectoring in support of not only the mortal enemies of Israel, but of the United States as well.
