It is abundantly clear, based upon Obama's statements and his choices for foreign policy advisers, that the incoming President will make it extremely difficult for Israeli politicians who are opposed to peace plans that mandate concessions to enemies who wish to annihilate it.
Bill Clinton did the same thing during the 1990s, the result being that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had an extremely difficult task in holding off Israel's mortal enemies due to immense pressure from the American administration.
We are now facing another era in American-Israeli relations where the Hebrew nation is being placed on the defensive against a huge worldwide consensus that contends that it alone is to blame for the ills of the Middle East--the very same propaganda put forth by Hamas, Hizbollah, and other Islamic terrorist organizations.
It is no surprise that the Obama administration will jump on board this shameful display and once again pressure Israel to simply hand over Jerusalem and other key areas. Anti-Israeli advisers have been chosen by Obama, and some of these are retreads from the Clinton years.
In Caroline Glick's latest article, these issues are explored in depth.
