OBAMA ABANDONES ISRAEL IN MIDDLE EAST AND NOW THE UN

The unrest that is taking place in the Middle East has many worried, especially Israel. No one even the countries involved in the protests against several Arab Middle East governments knows what direction all of this will be taking. The naive and clueless Barack Obama sticks his head in the sand and pretends that this is a pro democracy move when the most organized groups pushing for a new Middle East are radical Islamic, yet the boy in the Oval Office continues to deny the facts.

Throughout the protests in each country especially Egypt who has had a decades old peace treaty with Israel that has kept the hounds at bay in other Arab nations as well, cries of the destruction of Israel have been echoing through the streets and in the news from both protesters and the Islamic radicals who wish to move into the void with the ouster of Mubarak in Egypt and other former leaders in Tunisia and possibly Yemen.

Israel has almost at much at stake in the collapse of the authoritarian governments as the country's involved because the long and at times tense peace in the region with the Jewish state is now precarious at best. If this is a true pro democracy move Israel would remain safe with the need to establish relations with new governments. If this is a radical Islamic move then Israel will be surrounded with enemies who seek its destruction.

At a time of great fear and uncertainty for Israel the lone truly free nation and Jewish state needs it strongest ally to stand by its side and through the strength of that ally know that it can depend on protection and support come what may. Since the birth of the modern Israel, The United States has been Israel's not only strongest ally but through that partnership also its greatest protector in the region.

Now when Israel needs us most the inept occupant of The White House has abandoned Israel in her time of greatest need. Since taking office at every turn Obama has shown that he is not a true friend of Israel condemning the Jewish state at every opportunity and speaking harshly against Israel when he visited Arab nations during his two world tours. Now with massive unrest in the region and the future of Israeli relations with her neighbors questionable at best Obama sticks his head in the sand while Israel is threatened during protests and in a complete change of US policy is planning an official rebuke of Israel in the UN to appease the Palestinians over the Israeli settlements which are being built on their own land.

When Israel needs us most Obama is voting present to the threats against Israel and siding with the enemies of our greatest Middle Eastern ally in order to appease those same enemies. It is no wonder that Israel doubts any resolve by the US since Obama has quickly and willingly thrown them under the bus at every opportunity and now with the distinct possibility of Israel finding herself surrounded by regimes similar to Iran, Obama not only throws Israel under the bus but instructs the driver to back up and make sure he has run over her again and again.
