Re: [Pen-l] Obama on Gaza (was Walden Bello on the coming capitalist consensus)

[Carl Dassbach <dassbach@xxxxxxx>]

I am of the mind that the Gaza incident was engineered by the Israelis 
to "test" Obama.  Clearly, W is of no consequence at this point ( can 
you have a lame, "lame duck") and the question for the Israelis is: what 
is Obama's "real" position on the situation or, in other words, how will 
Obama treat Israeli aggression in the future?.  By not strongly 
condemning the Israeli attacks on Gaza, Obama has, in my opinion,   
"wimped out" of the present situation and sent a fairly clear signal to 
the Israelis that he will continue the US of policy of support for 
everything that Israel does (no matter how horrendous, unjust or illegal).
