Sacrificing Israel

Charles Krauthammer makes a cogent (and disturbing) argument that to pull together European allies as promised, John Kerry would throw Israel overboard:

Think about it: What do the Europeans and the Arab states endlessly rail about in the Middle East? What (outside of Iraq) is the area of most friction with U.S. policy? What single issue most isolates America from the overwhelming majority of countries at the United Nations?

The answer is obvious: Israel.

In what currency, therefore, would we pay the rest of the world in exchange for their support in places such as Iraq? The answer is obvious: giving in to them on Israel.
No wonder it’s a “secret” plan.
