RE: "....... Israel cannot rely on the Americans or the Europeans as allies or partners when it confronts threats from its Jew-obsessed neighbors." It depends on who the president is. It shouldn't be surprising that jew haters have been emboldened by Obama's (shall we say) less-than-supportive, policies toward Israel.

But Jews do still seemingly identify with them. It's a puzzle.

N'OBAMA government and this STUPID american jewish elite who supports him.

Hatred of Jews is the central animating feature of the political and strategic reality of the Middle East. It is hatred of Jews that dictates the legal regimes, foreign policies, military aspirations, cultural mores, educational themes and even public health policies of our neighbors from Ramallah to Tehran.

Despite the centrality of Jew-hatred in all aspects of public life in the Arab and Muslim world, our neighbors' unrelenting and irrational abhorrence for Israel and the Jewish people remains a dirty secret that you aren't supposed to mention in polite company. From Washington to Brussels, talk of the policy implications of Arab...
