Re: [Marxism] Israeli cabinet member urges sanctions on US

[Gary MacLennan <gary.maclennan1@xxxxxxxxx>]

So a kite has been flown with a leak of what is surely the Israeli
equivalent of a pre-emptive strike.  Do the Israelis genuinely realize that
the ground is shifting under them? Certainly Obama seems to be stumbling
around and causing some anxiety and even paranoia in Israel.

It may be he is looking for a way to finesse the excesses of the Bush era.
Certainly there do appear to be differences between the Obama and the Bush
administrations.  But overall the balance is surely on the side of
continuity rather than rupture.  We will only get change we can believe in
in American foreign policy if the Arab revolution manifests itself. On which
topic did Obama meet Mubarak when in Cairo?  If he did not then there might
actually be some substance to the rumours of Mubarak's health.  These
surfaced recently on the angryarab.blogspot.com and the Mossad site
dembka.com.

regards

Gary
