Obama only blames Israel, not Arabs

On all fronts, President Barack Obama’s policies in the Middle East are failing. So what is the president doing? Taking it out on America’s closest ally, Israel. The administration’s top priority in the region should be to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. That’s clearly not happening. Obama’s second-biggest priority — if not his first, given the president’s campaign pledges — is to get U.S. troops out of Iraq.

It’s the same old Middle East policy

The Palestinians had hoped they would see a new day coming after the Bush administration’s eight-year capitulation to all that Israel wanted. But they were wrong. The Obama administration is moving down the same Bush road — perhaps a little slower, but nonetheless still enabling the Israelis to continue to violate international law and the U.N. Charter by annexing occupied Arab land.

Quieting a noisy neighborhood

Obama should keep the pressure on Israel

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama should stick to his guns in pressuring Israel to stop building settlements on Palestinian land. The Israeli land grabs that result in more settlements on the West Bank and the forced eviction of Palestinians in East Jerusalem are clearly violations of international law.

Iranian threat

Things are not always as they appear in the Middle East. Appearances can also deceive whenever an Israeli prime minister and a U.S. president get together in Washington. During their two-hour meeting at the White House on Monday, it appeared as though Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu were bosom buddies. Netanyahu, especially, praised the new president and claimed agreement with Obama that, as a first priority, Iran must be stopped from possessing nuclear weapons.

Obama plunges into Mideast powder keg

War is hell

The Israelis will never find a better friend than President George W. Bush, who has blocked any early call by the United Nations for a cease-fire in Gaza. In doing so, Bush has enabled the Israelis’ brutal land, sea and air offensive against the Palestinians, mostly with American-supplied weaponry.

Eyeless in?Gaza, heartless at home

Creeped out: That’s the best way I can describe my response upon stumbling into an anti-Israel protest one recent Sunday in Manhattan. Ranting picketers carried signs that made light of the Holocaust, children dressed up as Hamas militants dotted the crowd.
