The US National Security Council called Israel’s blockade of Gaza “unsustainable.” Obama is urgently pressing Netanyahu to lift the blockade for all civilian and dual-use goods.
It’s not that Obama—who oversees two wars and scores of anti-terrorist operations—has suddenly become concerned about Gazans. Rather, diplomacy reacts to violent incidents. Just as the UN welcomed the PLO in the 1970s as the only way to tame the terrorists, so today Obama is ready to give in to the Islamist peaceniks who demand the opening of the Gaza crossings.
Israel refuses to learn this lesson: obedience to our American masters does not pay. Mad Jews, who bomb Damascus over SCUD deliveries to Hezbollah, obliterate Iranian nuclear facilities, hunt Fatah and Hamas terrorists in European capitals, and stop the water supply to Gaza, whose government holds an Israeli citizen hostage—such Jews would gain international respect and concessions.
