Obama and AIPAC

The American Conservative speculates that Obama might be willing to push back against the  AIPAC view that "being pro-Israel means supporting the right of the Jewish state to lord over 5 million Palestinians in conditions increasingly resembling South African apartheid." In so doing the American Conservative demonstrates that paleo-conservatives are as prone to  delusional, wishful thinking as the neo-cons. 

The Angry Arab News Service predicts that:
"If Obama is elected President, I am sure that he would order the bombing of some Arab or Muslim country in the first year of his presidency to 1) prove that he really is not a Muslim after all; 2) underline his patriotic and militaristic credentials; 3) to prepare for his second term run; and 4) to receive a standing ovation as soon as he enters AIPAC's convention hall." 

I'll take the analysis of The Angry Arab News Service over the American Conservative any day...

In face Obama won't be pushing back against ANY right wing Likud Israeli policy. The first thing he declared upon winning the nomination was that ALL OF Jerusalem belonged to Israel and would stay that way.
