The Truth About Obama and Israel

I'm not sure I agree a 100% with the following article.  If anything, I don't think Obama did enough to curb settlement expansion in the occupied territories.  But really, beyond this point or that, I don't think there's much difference between any  past (and present) American presidents in their treatment of Israel.  I have seen now several American presidents both from the receiving side (when I lived in Israel) as well as the tax payer that I'm now.  Everybody talk this and that prior to any elections, but when they're in the office there's no much difference between them.  And in truth, it's not all their fault.  America, with all its might, cannot change decades of reality in the middle-east just like that.  Well, for a matter of fact it can - by shutting the free money flow to Israel - but America won't do that and it's really a topic for separate post some day.  Having said all of the above, the following article is still "good enough".  At the least, it's factual and therefore tells the truth.
