1. Anyone suggesting we get tough with Hamas? Fatah? Hezbullah?
Because when we say it like that, it makes Israel sound like the good guys, doesn't it?

They're making war on their terrorists. We're making war on ours.

But you go get tough on 'em.

2. I'll be very surprised if Pres. Obama says much of anything about Israel
before their elections. After that, he may wish to sit down with whoever wins that, and see what he can accomplish with that leader or group of leaders. He might have to get tough, but I would expect him to do it privately.

Israel´s recent actions have given Obama the perfect opportunity to ditch Israel, should he chose to do so. Israel has trashed the memory of millions of Jews murdered during the 2nd World War. Shame on them.

4. Beware
of acting as your former enemy did.
