This is the way Israel behaves today: flowers for Hillary, but white phosphorous for the Palestinians.
Israel has not many friends these days. Its arrogant behaviour, its brutality, its contempt for the international law, has earned the Jewish state many foes. But as long as Big Brother remains a friend, everything is all right. Will ever Big Brother get tired of supporting the unruly child?
Israel is the greatest single irritant in international relations. The US has paid a heavy price for supporting Israel: the enmity of the Arab Word, 9/11, Afghanistan… But they have manoeuvred deftly to be portrayed as the victims.
Well, Barrack Obama, you have a chance here to undo many wrongdoings. Will he be able to apply economic and military pressure to Israel? Will he be able to resist the Jewish lobby? If past experience gives us any clue, chances are that all things will remain the same.
