It Looks Like Obama is Checking out on Israel

"And let me say this as a politician -- I can promise you this, political leaders will never take risks if the people do not push them to take some risks. You must create the change that you want to see. (Applause.) Ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things."

But Israel hasn't changed, it's just gotten more obdurate. The people haven't risen to Obama's challenge, haven't softened their hearts. So now is he checking out? Famously, that's his style. I notice liberal Zionists in the U.S. routinely bashing Netanyahu, as if to say... Just get rid of him and everything could be fine. They see the danger; the U.S. government doesn't care anymore.
