At the end of September, Obama is set to mediate a summit between Israel and the PA's Abbas. But the real question is who will mediate between Israel and Obama?
The Obama Administration's general hostility toward Israel, as well as its efforts to prevent Jews from building houses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, has resulted in a poll showing that the majority of Israelis believe that Obama is biased toward the Palestinian Arab side, with barely a third believing him to be neutral.
Now the same pundits and diplomats who clamored that the US must be seen as an honest broker, must explain how Obama will show that he is an honest broker.
In the post-election reality, Obama has demonstrated with that he shares none of Israel's concerns, whether over POW's, terrorism or Iran's nuclear program; but all of the concerns of the Palestinian Arab side. He has showcased that with the areas his administration has chosen to focus on most.
His administration has not only appointed radical anti-Israel figures, including Samantha Power, who talked about invading Israel, but has appeared willing to implement its agenda. While Gibbs and the State Department demand that Israel stop building housing in East Jerusalem in order not to prejudice the outcome of final negotiations, the US Consulate in Jerusalem openly treats East Jerusalem as Palestinian Arab territory.
Clearly the Obama Administration has no problem prejudicing the outcome of the negotiations on the side of the terrorist groups that they continue to fund and pressure Israel to negotiate with and make concessions to.
What they have a problem with is Israel asserting its own rights in any way. By objecting to Jewish housing but not Arab housing, the Obama Administration is demonstrating not only its open bias against Israel and its bigotry, but that it has already determined that Israel should surrender its own capital to terrorists.
The same terrorists whose chief Mahmoud Abbas was the recipient of Obama's first phone call to a foreign leader.
