Israel’s Exposure to a Lame Duck President

There’s no mistaking the fact that a solution for the Palestinian/Israelites continues to be unachievable. U.S. Policy has long been on the side of a two-state solution – one that is created by the mutual consent and agreement of both parties – as opposed to a scheme that is crafted and enforced by external interests.

Having frequently proven that he has no regard for rational thought or sovereign interests, it appears that the U.S. President is about to make a last-minute move that would upend this long-held position and plunge the Middle-East into further discord. As it presently stands President Obama is working with his National Security team on a strategy for directly presenting the UN Security Council with a Resolution that will, in effect, enforce a resolution-directive prescribing a comprehensive solution to the matter. As an alternative, the U.S. could simply allow an alternative resolution, e.g., one created by the French that has been tried before, but the U.S. has opposed, to come to the floor and simply not object to its being adopted.

I can’t imagine a more deeply flawed, well as a matter of fact I can, policy agenda than this. If pursued by the Administration the consequences are as comprehensive as they are unpredictable and will most certainly force the U.S. into yet another long-term military commitment. One that no sane person wants or any sovereign individual or State should be expected to tolerate. If this scheme is unleashed, and Hillary wins, count on it being a launch pad for further military engagement and the absolute certainty that more people will die and untold millions of dollars will be wasted. Count on it!
