Whose Arm to Twist?

Demonstrators in Tehran are bludgeoned into submission, and Obama remains silent. The tiny Shepherd Hotel in East Jerusalem's Sheikh Jarah neighborhood is considered for 20 apartments where Jews might live, and Israeli Ambassador Oren is summoned to the State Department.

Meanwhile, Rafik Natsheh, a member of the Central Committee of Fatah and a former Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, has just stated in an interview with Al-Quds Al-Arabi that the so-called West-leaning Fatah "doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist and never asked this of others." Natsheh said Palestinians would forever pursue armed struggle against Israel.

When not bowing to Saudi King Abdullah, Obama knows whose arm to twist.

  2. Also, it is worth mentioning that Yemen is striping Palestinians of their citizenship. Obama does not notice it either. Arabs can not do wrong! Even to other Arabs.
