From today's Washington Post:
Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's largest newspaper, published a front-page opinion column Tuesday by senior writer Eitan Haber, in which he reflected the trepidation many Israelis have for Obama. "We, in our little corner here in the Middle East, are anxious to see whether you shall continue the tradition of American presidents in recent generations and view us as an ally, your front-line aircraft carrier in this bloody region of the world," Haber wrote. "Or whether, heaven forbid, you will see us as just one more nation among all the others."
Yes, will you continue to employ us as the bloody truncheon with which you threaten mangy Arab countries into cringing submission (as well as continue to support us in our ongoing pesticide against the Palestinian cockroaches), or will you reject the example set by American presidents in recent generations and, heaven forbid, require that we behave like a civilized nation, abiding by international humanitarian law?
