RTWT.The contretemps between President Obama and Israel needs to be seen in a broader global context. The president who ran against "unilateralism" in the 2008 campaign has worse relations overall with American allies than George W. Bush did in his second term.
Israelis shouldn't feel that they have been singled out.
...This administration pays lip-service to "multilateralism," but it is a multilateralism of accommodating autocratic rivals, not of solidifying relations with longtime democratic allies. Rather than strengthening the democratic foundation of the new "international architecture" -- the G-20 world -- the administration's posture is increasingly one of neutrality, at best, between allies and adversaries, and between democrats and autocrats. Israel is not the only unhappy ally, therefore; it's just the most vulnerable.
OBAMA MEDDLES IN ISRAEL, BUT WON'T IN IRAN.
OBAMA SQUEEZES ISRAEL'S NUTS, BUT SUCKS IRAN'S...
OBAMA APPEASES ENEMIES AND IGNORES OR IS DISMISSIVE OR ANTAGONISTIC TO ALLIES.
OBAMA MUST GO!
