History and legitimacy are not the issues that drive Obama and State Department policy toward Israel. Presenting arguments on either basis is a waste of time.

Power politics will decide this issue. Obama is attempting to screw Israel without losing domestic Jewish support in the next election. Israel needs to hunker down and dig in its heels. Sad to say, it won’t be long before this preening Arabist President will be engulfed by policy failures, domestic and foreign.
