The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> posted a story today about former Israeli Ambassador to the United States<\/a> Michael Oren<\/a>‘s new book, “Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israel Divide<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

By the summer of 2013, President Obama<\/a> had convinced several key Israelis that he wasn\u2019t bluffing about using force against the Iranian nuclear program<\/a>. Then he failed to enforce his red line against Syrian<\/a> dictator Bashar Assad<\/a>\u2014and the Israelis realized they\u2019d been snookered. Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador to the United States, recalls the shock inside his government. \u201cEveryone went quiet,\u201d he said in a recent interview<\/a>. \u201cAn eerie quiet. Everyone understood that that was not an option, that we\u2019re on our own.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is one of the saddest statements I have ever read.<\/p>\n

The article explains the impact of Israel’s<\/a> loss of United States’<\/a> support in the international community:<\/p>\n

What Obama wanted was to create diplomatic space between America and Israel while maintaining our military alliance. Oren says military-to-military relations are strong, but the diplomatic fissure has degraded Israel\u2019s security. America, he says, provided a \u201cDiplomatic Iron Dome\u201d that shielded Israel from anti-Semites in Europe, at the U.N., and abroad whose goal is to delegitimize the Jewish State and undermine her economically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This rhetorical missile shield is slowly being retracted. The administration threatens not to veto anti-Israel U.N. initiatives, Europe is aligning with the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement, and anti-Israel activism festers on U.S.\u00a0campuses. Obama\u2019s unending criticism of Israel, and background quotes calling Israel\u2019s prime minister a \u201cchicken-shit<\/a>\u201d and a \u201ccoward<\/a>,\u201d provide an opening for radicals to go even further.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel has been our only reliable ally in the Middle East<\/a> since its founding in 1948. It is the only country in the Middle East where Christians, Jews, and Muslims are free to practice their religion. The Obama Administration has consistently come down on the wrong side of history in its dealings in the Middle East. Abandoning Israel in favor of a nuclear agreement with Iran would be a serious mistake. Unfortunately, that seems to be the path President Obama has chosen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
