Manifestly insane person Richard Cohen has joined the chorus of reflexive Obama critics, accusing the President of being anti-Israel of not convincing a small but vocal minority whose unempirical conviction that Obama is not a "supporter" of Israel wouldn't be shaken if the man shit mezuzot that His Prezness lurves Israel. Oh, 27% of Israelis believe that he's an anti-semite, Rebbe Cohen? There is, you know, another way to put it: 73% of Israelis agree that Obama is not an anti-semite. Lemme put it to you this way: a greater percentage of Americans believes that Reptilian shape-shifting alien Illuminatus Richard "Dick" Cheney piloted remote-control holographic spaceships into the Twin Towers on 9/11 in order to help Larry Silverstein scam an insurance company than the percentage of Israelis who believe that Obama hates Jews.

Obviously, Obama's policy toward Israel is manifestly similar to the policy of every preceding President, which is to stand resolutely and irrationally behind our little Miami Beach East no matter what it does. Bibi Netanyahu's crime wasn't that he traduced some substantive American policy, newly formulated by a pro-Palestinian Americna government. It was lèse majesté. He spoke out of turn. He failed to adhere to the protocols. Obama's comportment, carriage, and every utterance reveal him to be a man of exteme vanity. He's pissed that some little pipsqueak governor of an American protectorate minutely deviated from the approved line.
