Gaza Night on CNN
Hillary is off to visit the “good” Palestinian tomorrow, the pathetic President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority.
Abbas has totally squandered whatever credibility he inherited from Arafat with his fruitless concessions to Israel over the last eight years. He is completely irrelevant to what is going on in Gaza today.
So why the Hillary visit? Because US policy is bound to an “anybody-but-Hamas” course by AIPAC. That policy as much as anything else has served to enhance the credibility of the very Hamas they are trying to undermine.
It’s telling to see who CNN brings in as objective observers who can shed light on the current situation. Fouad Ajami. Dianne Feinstein. Allan Dershowitz.
Oddly enough, each of them were able to recite the current talking points about Hamas’ “double war crime” of targeting civilians while also hiding behind them.
Frankly, it’s too little and too late. The rest of the world would dismiss out of hand the choice of Ajami, Feinstein, and Dershowitz as objective commentators about anything to do with Israel and Palestine.
In fact, the rest of the world immediately recognizes the trio as long-time pro-Israel propagandists.
And whether we like it or not, the era of America not having to consider the rest of the world is rapidly winding down
