Your post somewhat echoes a post by Martin McPhillps from October 17.

This election will make Obama more, not less, dangerous

….and to think just because the house majority has changed makes no difference at all. I mean if things were bad for Israel under a Republican president (AND THEY WERE!!) we can not nor should not be surprised at what lies in store for Israel at this time. Matter of fact post 9-11, War on terror, worst intifada ever for Israel, things were downright awful. Millions and millions of dollars were poured down the Palestinian sink hole to make them look squeaky clean. More millions than ever before! Millions of dollars while Israel was mourning their dead. Millions spent on a U.S trained Palestinian security force who in clear view of the world marched to the Nazi Goosestep without a blink in the oval office…while the oval office never missed a chance to speak of the daily humiliation of Palestinian people. Millions spent on those who slaughtered Jews post 9-11, war on terror in all reality was nothing more then REWARD FOR TERROR. And we are upset now? Please.

For all of that Israel got a George Bush formulated Quartet for Peace made up of 3 arch enemies of Israel who to this day has not given Israel a moments peace! Eight times to ax the embassy act and Eight times to sign the renewal on the lease of the NY office of the PLO.

The embassy act was not signed to placate the Palestinian people and their enablers. The embassy act was not signed for Saudi Arabia to whom the past administration was of all things, tethered to post 9-11 like never before. As for why no representative from the Bush administration was sent to the Ceremonies of the Anniversary of the Reunification of Jerusalem, look in the mirror and see for yourselves. When I now hear crying for Jerusalem, I laugh. Our chance was squandered when one of our own was in office. Now what can anyone expect?

We know for a fact the democratic party will not do a thing for Israel not under Obama or anyone for that matter. But to be honest here, having a house majority made up of Republicans who said ZERO, who squandered their influence and supposed friendship of Israel while Bush was calling Abbas the denier of the Shoah, a “MAN OF PEACE” spoke volumes. These same people, the very hierarchy of my Republican party allowed Bush to make bad on his campaign promise to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem. Matter of fact not once did Bush call Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel.

Well I could go on and on but why? My party still credits Bush for never directly speaking to Arafat when all along they know that was mere smoke and mirrors. G-d forbid anyone admit it though. Therein lies the rub and here lies the real truth. The Bush administration was in constant contact with the PLO and the head of the PLO was Yasser Arafat. We all know before any decision was ever made a yay or nay came from the mouth of Arafat. Period.

Now it is politically advantageous for the silent to speak when before they said nothing. In the mean time the defectors from both sides grow stronger. So this house being mostly Republican is good for Israel only in words because once their words were silent. Israel is more than political fodder when it is politically advantageous to speak up. Israel will have real friends the stronger the center becomes. In the mean time, no tears for Jerusalem. Many lost their chance to be taken seriously.

Thank you most kindly.
