Those who do not learn from history...

... are destined to repeat it. I sure hope not. This is from Melanie Phillips:
Leaving aside for the moment the malice towards Israel that is involved, the attitude of the Obama administration towards the Middle East is well-nigh incomprehensible in its suicidal stupidity. It is trying to make Israel play the role of Czechoslovakia in 1938, when Britain under Neville Chamberlain told it that if it didn’t submit to the Nazis it would stand alone – with the result that the following year, Hitler invaded Poland. Determined to prove that history repeats itself the second time as tragedy, America is trying to force Israel to destroy its security by accepting the creation of a terrorist Iranistan on its doorstep, under the threat that otherwise the US will not help protect its security by defanging Iran (and how, precisely would it do that?). But in doing so, the Obama administration is jeopardising the security of America itself and the free world, not to mention the Arab states which have good reason to fear Iranian regional hegemony.
Read the whole thing.

Martin Sherman says the same thing in the Ynet link I posted earlier. One wonders if the US Administration wants to set the stage for World War IV.

We can only pray Netanyahu will stand fast and disabuse Obama of the temptation to pursue a quick fix solution at Israel's expense that is neither quick nor a fix.

There's no reason, should Israel's government stand up for itself, for history to repeat itself again.
