A Rapid and Harsh Turn against Israel. I did not vote for Obama, because I suspected this would happen.

This turn of events confirms my suspicions, that promises that were made to the United States, Israel, and the world, to support Israel as a state, and a right to exist, were deceptive, given in earnest by President Obama, and then disregarded. We definitely wanted to see fairness to the Palestinian people, but not Hamas and Hizbollah. This is not good news, and Netanyahu will have to stand up for Israel, instead of following an appeasement strategy, without the United States government on board. However, the people of America love Israel, and we support its survival and its people 100%.
