Not a day goes by without Andrew Sullivan freaking out about something or another, but in this piece, he sees the Israeli refusal to stop expansion of Jewish towns and cities as that country's determining foreign policy in the Middle East and a rebuke to Obama Administration.
The settlements are a constant humiliation for the Palestinians, they inflame Arab opinion, and these actions have been designed in part to humiliate Obama and show the Arab world who really dictates the boundaries of US foreign policy in the Middle East. It isn't the president of the United States.
Sullivan only has it half right.
Yes, it's a rebuke to the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli Obama Administration. But it's not Israel determining the boundaries of American foreign policy there.
No, it's something that's been long needed in that part of the world... Israel determining Israel's foreign policy.
As long as Mahmoud Abbas screams that he won't negotiate as long as Israelis build and expand settlements, the reverse will be true as well.
Swords cut both ways, Arafat's Bitch.
Would I vote for Palin?
No. She doesn't have experience, a team of advisors worthy of doing anything on an international level, the smarts to handle national crises, or the guts to face down the growing global jihad.
(Just like the Dumbfuck-In-Chief who's at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue now.)
I'm surprised that his post has absolutely no gay marriage angle whatsoever.
Yeah, I'm 100% for the idea of gay marriage, but tired of Sullivan's history making it the one of the fundamental principles of the universe.
Good to see that he's either grown up or that his drooling anti-Israel psychosis has gotten him off of that horse for a while. He's embarrassing to the cause for people of all preferences.
