netanyahuIn not much of a shocking surprise, it appears as though the Obama Administration is already working hard behind the scenes to undermine the newest Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu (Previous Prime Minister from June 1996 to July 1999). For those who are familiar with how Netanyahu rolls, he does not support a Palestinian state. But, apparently in great anticipation of Netanyahu’s visit to the States next month, the Obama team has been briefing Congress on its strong position to establish a Palestinian state by dividing up Israel.

Not only are they prepping Congress but Obama actually anticipates a clash with Netanyahu due to many issues where they don’t see eye to eye, especially freezing Jewish construction in the West Bank and in Eastern Jerusalem.

Past U.S. presidents have been supportive of Israel for the most part. The Obama Administration is starting to morph into what some have feared all along. Our unconditional support for Israel seems to be diminishing at a rapid rate since our current Administration is bent on how we are perceived by our enemies abroad and by mad men and not by our allies.
