This News About Indonesia Is New To Me And Somewhat Disappointing

The American Thinker posted an article yesterday pointing out that Indonesia, praised by President Obama for its religious tolerance, does not allow Israeli citizens to visit there.  I am really sorry to hear this.  I know there are other Muslims countries that have similar restrictions, and I am really sorry that the freedom-loving countries of the world have not taken a strong stand against these countries.  Meanwhile, as he was praising an anti-Semitic country for its tolerance, President Obama was criticizing Israel for building in its own capital.  This is definitely a “beam me up, Scotty” moment.  It seems to me that until the west finds a way to support its energy needs independently of the Middle East, anti-Semitism will be accepted as the rule of the day.  That is unfortunate.
