Perry’s Faith-Based Foreign Policy Directive by Justin Raimondo -- Antiwar.com

The foreign minister of the Jewish state is one Avigdor Lieberman, a fanatic whose bigotry and aggressively nationalistic views have made him an embarrassment even to the hardline government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. For example, when relations with Turkey soured, Lieberman threatened to arm the PKK – a Kurdish terrorist group that has been attacking the Turks for years. Netanyahu tried to distance his office from such irresponsible ranting, but when I awoke, this morning, to the news that a bomb had gone off near government offices in Ankara, I wasn’t all that surprised.

Unconditional Support for Israel Encourages Bad Behavior by Ivan Eland -- Antiwar.com

It’s now time for Obama to ask himself the hard question — especially when he is trying to get reelected — about whether such lavish aid and support only encourages Israeli intransigence in the peace process. Obama could reach the courageous decision that if he is losing support in the Jewish community (he never had much among the more numerous evangelical Christians who are slavish supporters of Israel), he might as well double down and reduce or eliminate U.S. aid and political and diplomatic support for Israel. American politicians’ support for Israel has much less to do with genuine U.S. security interests in faraway lands that have no oil than with winning the electoral support of powerful domestic groups that support Israel.
