Politico: Reports on the policy disputes in the Obama White House when it comes to the the US policy towards Israel. In essence you have the Israeli Lobby that does not want to push Israel to a point that could force the Government to fall in Israel and on the other hand you have liberal elite who care more about Arab interests than the security of Israel. At the end of the day Israel can just say No to Obama, its their region, and as stated a few times in this blog the Israeli lobby has a powerful ally in Speaker Pelosi. The more Obama is seen as weak when it comes to Iran, the more reason that Israel has to say NO. As noted in previous post the Hill reported that Republicans and Democrats are coming together to place pressure on the Oval to get off the dime and take some tough action over the nuclear plans of Iran. It was not a great surprise that the Hill started the process, it occurred within a few days of the shabby treatment of the Israeli PM by the Obama White House. At the end of the day Obama can not afford to flush away his political capitol with a fight with Israel, the reason is simple folks, he will lose. One can postulate that Israel will just wait Obama out, after the 2010 Mid Term Elections and the Republicans take control of Congress the White House will have to pivot back to Israel or get rebuked by Congress, elections have consequences folks.
