Georgia Indicates Obama

Lawyerly, loyal - but far less loving

Deftly, Netanyahu maneuvered and misrepresented US President Barack Obama’s foreign policy speech, which he gave just before Netanyahu arrived for his much-touted visit to the US at the end of May, to suggest that the president wants Israel to return to the 1967 lines. And with this move, Netanyahu not only propped up his right-wing coalition back home, he also skillfully handed the Republicans a valuable gift by making it clear that Israelis – or at least those whom Netanyahu represents – don’t feel that the US president is behind them. WHEN THEY INVITED NETANyahu to speak before the Republican-led Congress, Republican leaders knew that they could count on Netanyahu to provide them with points in the “who supports Israel more” political game. Even a month after Netanyahu moderated his words to commend Obama for his strong support of Israel, Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty accused Obama of being anti-Israel and treating Israel “as a problem rather than an ally.” if he agrees with Bolton’s evaluation, Congressman Tom Price (R-Georgia) thinks for a minute as he reviews previous presidents, and says, “Given the wonderful level of support Israel has enjoyed [from the US] since becoming a state, I think this president does not reach the level of support of other presidents and administrations.” In the heavily Jewish ninth congressional district, former New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch, an avowed Democrat, endorsed Bob Turner, the Republican candidate, over Democratic contender David Weprin, an observant Jew who is known to be a hawk on Israel and has visited the country several times. At a widely televised press conference, Koch acknowledged that he gave the Republicans his endorsement as a “rebuke” to Obama “for saying that Israel’s pre-1967 border should be the basis of a peace agreement.” Netanyahu encouraged his American supporters to repeat his ire over any mention of the “indefensible” 1967 lines.
