Beth…..you are not at all paranoid in thinking R2P is being tested to use against Israel, a nation which is defending itself from genocidal foes. The fact of the matter is that Obama and his gang of advisers/czars what nothing more than to create the conditions to impose their will on Israel.Not only do they need an international ‘tested’ pretext to invade Israel,but they must set the stage for much chaos so that Israel’s leaders see no way out. Obama’s absolute meddling in Egypt-GO NOW-is a glaring case in point of the chaos he helped stir up.By leaving Syria & Iran alone from Washington interference Obama also sets the stage .
Many in Jerusalem have the exact same ‘paranoia’ as you. They are convinced that Samantha Powers advised Obama to use Libya as a test case, to see how far they can go with it, and then hold it up as Exhibit Number One.
Whereas the Butcher of Damascus and the Iranian Hitler absolutely deserve R2P to be applied, so far it hasn’t been.So, one has to wonder, what is it all about if not to protect civilians against the most dangerous butchers in the region?
