HAS THE PENNY DROPPED?

By Jafar M Ramini                                                                                                                                        This last week has seen a fundamental change in the way the world sees Israel.  In particular, the United States of America.
When Mr. Obama came to power in 2008 we, the citizens of the world who, whether by choice or coercion are affected by what the most powerful nation on earth does, let forth a huge sigh of relief.  Here was an African American President who might at last have a different view of the world and a fairer approach to American foreign policy. Especially in the Middle East and particularly towards Palestine.
We all heard the speeches; we all applauded the coming of the ‘Black Messiah’ and waited for tangible results to fulfill some of our dreams for a better and fairer world. We were all to be bitterly disappointed. Mr. Obama continued along the path of his predecessors, but he also went out of his way to affirm that America would always ‘have Israel’s back’.     >Jafar's Complete Report<
