Obama vs. Israel and the Middle East


Guardian: Reports on the Obama Policy when it comes to Israel and the long term policy of the creation of a State for the people of Palestine. The Article states the following on President Obama, “ A president who was inaugurated amid great hopes……has seen his stock tumble in the intervening 21 months. ”. If after the November 2nd Elections the Republicans take the House and reach parity with the Democrats in the Senate the Obama policy of having any real influence over Israel is over, if Obama tries to place pressure on Israel to grant concessions to the Palestinians the Government of Israel will use its major influence on the Hill to overrule any Obama sanctions against Israel. Even the Liberal Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that when it came to Israel the Democrats and Republicans had once voice and that voice was not President Obama. Thus the Oval might find that it is boxed in on the domestic and international front, it will be a different world for President Obama after November 2nd.
