Perceptions and trust
Would you trust this man to play a key role in protecting Israel's future? Examining some of the different statements coming out of Jerusalem and Washington these days, Jonathan Tobin sums up with what seems to Israelis to be an obvious conclusion: No, we don't trust Obama. The question here is one of trust. If one believes Obama means business about Iran, then his seeming caution about enforcing the bank ban and desire for Israel to take no military action while an embargo is being planned is entirely sensible. But if, as seems to be the case with many Israelis, you have no faith the president will ever take any concrete action with regard to Iran, than all the diplomatic activity and warnings to Israel are merely attempts to keep things calm during an election year. Unfortunately, after three years of “engagement” with Iran and feckless diplomatic outreach, it’s hard to argue that the skeptics are wrong.Didn't we warn about this four years ago?
