This could be the beginning of an avalanche (sp?)

I don't like at all what I have been hearing of and reading of Israel. Jay Carney's remarks is a bad, bad omen. Technically his non-answer might be covering the possibility that President Obama really has something like a "memorandum" somewhere which maintains that Jerusalem is NOT the capital of Israel. All of this comes at time when more than a few organizations are boycotting just about everything to do with Israel including trade. I sense that these people smell blood and are going to push for more. What would you suggest to turn this tide. I can't remember (and i'm not a Spring Chicken) things going this far. Back in 73 Sadat's preemptive military war on Israel came close to knocking out Israel's military edge. Thank God there was an Ariel Sharon, But this non-military assault could really be the most dangerous "assault" of all.

What would you suggest? To do nothing will only increase these Israel-haters to go further.
