What’s wrong with this picture?
Israel gets $3 billion a year in military aid from the US. Over the last 60 years, the Jewish state has received about $250 billion worth of airplanes and armaments.
Yet when Obama appeals for a “a broad international coalition” to fight ISIS, which supposedly threatens the whole Middle East, Israel is not asked to join. Canada, Germany, Australia, France, Turkey ..all are asked..but not Israel.
Israel is the strongest military power in the region. But apparently it bears no responsibility to help contain this “threat.”
How serious could Obama (or Israel) be about combating the Islamic Caliphate?
However, don’t count Israel completely out. Netanyahu will contribute large quantities of hot air:
On Thursday, an Israeli website reported, Netanyahu said that “Israel fully supports Obama’s call for a united action against ISIS.”
The Likud leader stressed that all terror groups “present a clear and present danger to the peace and security of the world and to our common civilization” and that if “they gain ground somewhere, they gain ground everywhere.”
Fighting these groups “requires weapons, defensive and offensive, but above all it requires – I believe – clarity and courage. Clarity to understand they’re wrong and we’re right. They’re evil and we’re good. No moral relativism there, at all,” insisted Netanyahu.
Apparently things haven’t always been so black and white.
