The PA reports that Obama called Abbas today to tell him how important it is to help the Palestinians. Obama also told Abbas that he was the first foreign leader the new president has called, and so underlined how important it is to advance the cause of the Palestinians.
No wonder Israel wanted to get as much done as it could against Hamas terrorists prior to Obama's inauguration.
The full story is here.
This is an ominous signal that relations between the U.S. and Israel will grow tense under the Obama administration. And it is unconscionable that our most vocal and steadfast ally in the world would be treated in this fashion by an American President.

Obama may just be in the process of issuing a death warrant for the entire region.
No doubt. This is absolutely one of the worst things he could have done with regard to foreign policy.
I would honestly like to be surprised by this news, but the emotion is simply not coming to me. Obama made his stance on this situation clear before the election, and, even apart from that, it was obvious he was going to take an appeasement stance over anything else. This is just him playing to his "strengths".
That said, concerning the situation in the Middle East in general, and Israel in particular, I have this to say: Masada. Only this time they have nukes.
Israel will not bare her throat for the muslim knife, not even at our urging.
I have to wonder if perhaps Mossad hasn't added an American president to the list of considerations for more direct strategic contingency plans.
Israel will not go quietly into that good night. I see this ending in nuclear strikes, if JJ doesn't wise up and develop some morals. Or at least some sense.
Oh, JJ stands for jug-eared jackass. I think I shall use that from now on.
