Team Obama’s Latest Contribution to Mideast Disaster

Unnamed senior U.S. officials have lately taken to calling Israel’s prime minister obscene names. This marks, unfortunately, just the latest low-point in Team Obama’s sustained campaign against the Jewish State and its elected leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. It may also be the most dangerous to date.

President Obama has repeatedly embraced the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey’s pro-Hamas government and other Islamists who share a commitment to Israel’s destruction. He has personally demeaned, insulted and humiliated Mr. Netanyahu. And now his subordinates seem determined to neutralize preemptively Israeli objections over the recklessly defective nuclear deal the Obama administration is negotiating with Iran.

Israel is our friend. Iran is its enemy – and ours. Barack Obama, by allowing Iran to get the bomb, is emboldening a mortal foe and imperiling us, as well as our true ally.
