What has Obama wrought?

President Obama stated that the State of Israel came into being as a result of the Holocaust. Hence the Holocaust deniers’ efforts to delegitimize a Jewish Homeland and Israel as a European anti-Arab plot. Likewise in his attempt to reach out to Arab nations and the Muslim world, President Obama visited a number of Israeli’s neighbors but pointedly did not visit Israel . And again in his profuse treatment of President Karzai in contrast to his treatment of Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Obama led Israel’s detractors and enemies to believe that there was a cooling in the U.S.-Israel alliance, a distancing of the United States from Israel, a desire to be “more evenhanded” in regard to Settlements, Jerusalem etc.
What are the unintended (or intended) consequences of President Obama’s behavior toward Israel ? I’m sure you can list some of them. Here is a partial list.

* The Palestinians withdrew from direct contact with the Israelis in favor of “Proximity Talks”
* The Palestinians hardened their stance on Settlements, Jerusalem and refugees.
* Jordan and Egypt , both Israel ’s partners in a “Cold Peace”, have chosen to blame Israel for all the area ills
* Turkey has turned away from United States ’ efforts to weaken Iran ’s nuclear program and is now supporting Iran ’s stalling the U.N. and United States
* Emboldened Israel-bashers Everywhere: in the Muslim World, Europe and even the United States to embarrass and attack Israel
* Furthered attempts to delegitimize Israel and foment violence on her borders
* Weakened Israel ’s claims to its own capital
* Fomented a widening breach within American Jewry
