[Ha'aretz] Ari Shavit - Despite their previous wariness, most Israelis were quite happy to see Obama in the White House. Despite a few suspicions, our prime minister was quite charmed by the young senator from Illinois and his meteoric rise. But his meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval Office several months ago was an ambush. Without any advance warning, Obama placed his ultimatum in front of Netanyahu. That is how he turned Netanyahu from an admirer into an adversary in the blink of an eye. Soon after the confrontation in Washington Obama renounced the commitments made by previous administrations on the settlement blocs. He trashed the letter written by George W. Bush and the policies of Bill Clinton. That is how he taught the Israelis a lesson they will not quickly forget: The word of a U.S. president is not worth much. A pre-withdrawal promise is only a promise. This behavior has paralyzed the Israeli public's willingness to support the next large-scale withdrawal and only a few Israelis view him as a true friend of Israel. 2009-07-23 06:00:00Full Article
