President Obama has approved military sales to three Arab League states prior to his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The White House agreed to requests worth $500 million by Egypt, Oman and Tunisia for air defense upgrades, helicopters and other aircraft as well as naval ship support.
The timing of this is a clear message that the President is not happy with Israels continued settlement of occupied territories, it is also a message to the arab world that the United States relationship with Israel is at it’s weakest point and gives encouragement to the enemies of Israel that now is the time to strike.
While I do not think the President is by any means a supporter of terrorists, he is clearly a product of his past, harbors a deep distrust of Israel and has most probably been less than honest about his personal convictions.
