David Harsanyi on Deteriorating Relations Between Israel and the Obama Administration

The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg has written a
piece detailing the deteriorating
relationship between Israel and the Obama administration. None
of it is especially shocking, considering the antagonism the
administration has shown toward the Jewish state from the start,
argues David Harsanyi. 

Most people have focused on the name-calling, and Goldberg keeps
a list of pejoratives used by U.S. officials to describe Netanyahu,
including “aspergery.” Is being anti-Netanyahu tantamount to being
anti-Israel? Well, no, writes Harsanyi—although, it’s certainly
fair to point out that the administration’s public demeaning of an
ally’s elected leader is nearly unheard of. But you know what is
unmistakably anti-Israel? Gloating over how the United States has
strong-armed Israel into living with a nuclear Iran.
