The Patriot Post® · Obama Warns Israel

Barack Obama has issued another stern warning – to Israel. The president suggested in an interview with Bloomberg View’s Jeffrey Goldberg that our ally is running out of time to agree to a peace deal with the Palestinians. “If Palestinians come to believe that the possibility of a contiguous sovereign Palestinian state is no longer within reach, then our ability to manage the international fallout is going to be limited,” Obama said. He also blamed Israel’s “aggressive settlement building” for Palestinian unease. Goldberg took Obama’s comments “to be a veiled threat.” Thinly veiled at that. Obama’s practice of coddling foes and offending friends is beyond irresponsible; it’s dangerous.
