Ironically,Obama is expending more energy pressuring Israel than he did in the Security Council,the Human Rights Council or the nuclear-review conference to protect US and Israeli equities. This pattern also typifies Obama and his key advisers: They find it far easier to bed their friends into submission than to stand up to America’s determined adversaries.
The harm caused by US weakness on the Gaza blockade issue will reach far beyond the Middle East. Worldwide, America’s friends and allies increasingly realize that President Obama won’t stand with them in controversial circumstances. Accordingly, those closest to us will calibrate their own interests more carefully to hedge against US weakness, step by step distancing themselves from us.

But Obama’s forcing their hand by OKing the Russian S-300 air defense system for Tehran- Israel’s not just going to sit back and let that happen
As Bolton says, the time for Israel to strike is NOW:
