We’re in trouble
Obama seeks reconciliation with Muslim world, and Israel will pay the price
Eitan Haber
May 20, 2009
Now that Benjamin Netanyahu has visited Washington and the White House and is back home, we can sum up the current situation, through the rumor mill for the time being: We are in trouble.
As opposed to almost all American presidents in recent generations, Barack Obama views himself as one who is guiding his country and the free world towards a new history, far beyond what we can see. Obama wishes to shape new universal discourse, which seeks to replace the confrontation with the radical Muslim world emerging before our eyes in recent times.
Obama leads a line of reconciliation vis-à-vis this hostile world, and the price – whether we’d like it or not – will be paid by the State of Israel.
Israel has already started paying.
Very soon, Obama will arrive in Cairo, and there, in a speech to more than one billion Muslims worldwide, he will take the first step out of a million
steps of reconciliation. Obama still believes, apparently, that the Pakistani nuclear bomb and the Iranian nuclear bomb and other bombs expected from this terrible and hostile world can be neutralized by appeasement and accommodation.
Obama wishes to separate what have become Siamese twins for generations now: The US and Israel. He doesn’t like the photographs we have seen in the last dozens of years from places as far as Jakarta and Tripoli, where Israeli and American flags are burned together. Always together. Just like speeches in Tehran and
in Karachi always refer to American-Zionist imperialism.
No more. To their credit, Netanyahu and Obama did not even try to hide the deep disagreements between Washington and Jerusalem.
They placed everything on the table, and according to all the talk and indications, two days ago we saw in the US capital the prologue to the play: At this time, the orchestra is playing the opening tune. Soon we will see the appearance of the gun in the first act; the one that will fire in the last act.
Wishing to change history
We must make no mistake about it, and who knows this better than Netanyahu: The words of praise and politeness are part of the well-known American hypocrisy, the one that explains to you in nice language what America wants.
And America, at this stage, is distancing from Israel, and is not even trying to accommodate its positions to the ones presented by Jerusalem this week.
So that’s it. The window of opportunity regarding the special longtime ties between Washington and Israel is starting to close down. It won’t happen quickly or tomorrow, but we are witnessing the beginning of the process.
You want another indication? It is still hard to believe that an American president will soon visit Cairo without arriving in Israel.
Only a relatively short while ago, White House officials would ask Israel whether it’s possible, “if you don’t mind,” to hold a quick visit in Cairo in addition to the major visit in Jerusalem (and when the Israelis hinted this was undesirable, it didn’t happen.) Such superpower will not be asking us any longer. It won’t inform us in advance either.
Thus far, Obama looks and sounds like a president who wishes to change history and enter the annals of history. He may certainly consider a forced agreement (and there are rather broad camps in Israel that would welcome such deal.) He may envision the 57 leaders of Islamic countries on a special stage in the White House, and in the middle, amidst all the robes and suits, Barack Obama himself along with Bibi Netanyahu, and everyone will be smiling from ear to ear (with the possible exception of Netanyahu, but perhaps him too?)

Obama is dividing Jerusalem
By Israel Harel
May 21, 2009
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s enemies have gotten together to promote a few sacred causes: to bring Israel to its knees, to force a Pax Americana on Israel (the “Obama plan”) and to grind the prime minister’s status to dust.
If the media in his own country is trying to grind Netanyahu down, why shouldn’t the American administration – which has mobilized the enthusiastic Israeli media for its own needs – take advantage of the latter’s disparaging attitude to attain its goals
? (Although it is repelled by such an attitude.
In American culture, with its code of honor and restraint, this type of behavior would not pass.)
They have not managed to bring Netanyahu to his knees, but they have managed to fan a foreign fire of Biblical proportions (“Please, with might,” Gideon Levy begs Barack Obama in a piece on May 17). This fire persuaded whomever it persuaded that an American presidential initiative can be presented, without any preparatory dialogue with the government in power, that is unacceptable to the vast majority of Israeli Jews.
Besides the demand to exert powerful pressure on Israel, the peacemakers demanded that Obama also end the “special relationship” between the United States and Israel. These relations, the Israeli patriots explained, are damaging to U.S. interests.
Here, too, their labors bore fruit. The speech on a vision of peace for the Middle East, slated for June 4, will not be given at the White House, not even at a joint session of Congress. Only by delivering the speech in Cairo, intentionally skipping a visit to Jerusalem (and even to Tel Aviv!), will the spirit of peace alight on the lips of the American messiah.
Obama has little knowledge of the history, ideology and psychology of the Arab opposition to the Jewish state’s existence. But he has a strategy: to thaw relations with Islam. It is clear what will be demanded in return.
But those who built his program, which purely by coincidence conforms entirely to the ideas of the extreme left in Israel (whose wheeler-dealers are in close touch with Rahm Emanuel and his ilk), are showing an ambition and arrogance that will leave them cooked.
No Arab leader, political or religious, has yet been found who agrees to give up the right of return, which is a central pillar in the Obama plan. The idea to internationalize the Old City and its governance by the United Nations is a futile idea. Only assimilated Jews – and one can be so in Israel, too
– could garner support for this idea from a neophyte president, who has no idea how deep the Jewish bond is to its capital, especially to the area containing its most sacred sites.
Obama has tossed a lot of balls into the air, maybe too many.
Even a magician like him cannot catch them all. The last ball, the especially heavy one of the Obama plan, might land on his foot, but also on the feet of everyone in the region, who will pay the price imposed on them by the person who wants (by force) to change the order of things.
That will also be the case if he does not set aside his disconnected initiatives and quickly connect to reality in other places in the world, as well as at home.
Today, Jerusalem Day, a state ceremony will be held marking 42 years since the liberation of Israel’s capital. In his speech, Netanyahu can somewhat cool down Obama’s messianic fervor and (politely) make clear to whom – exclusively – Jerusalem belongs.
He can pledge that after the Paratroopers liberated the city in 1967, no foreign power will ever again pass through its gates.
