The platform is dramatically less supportive of Israel than
it was even four years ago. In 2008, Obama committed “to isolate Hamas until it
renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past
agreements.” That language is gone in the 2012 platform. The 2008 platform
said: “All understand that it is unrealistic to expect the outcome of final
status negotiations to be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of
1949. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have
agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should
remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.” That entire
section is absent in 2012, and, as we know, the administration won’t say where
the capital of Israel is. “Jerusalem” is not mentioned in the platform. This is
the most radically unsupportive statement of policy on Israel by any major
party since the founding of the state of Israel. It is indeed Obama’s
Democratic Party.

Also, because when Obama loses, she maneuvers into position for her 2016 run.
ReplyDeleteI certainly believe that she is keeping her options open, Compared to Obama, she would be a blessing. Compared to what this nation really needs, not so much.
