-Obama is visiting Buchenwald Concentration Camp this week, to pay homage to the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
-Obama is not visiting Israel this week even though he is stopping off in the Middle East. His conspicuous absence sends a signal to Prime Minister Netanyahu for not taking him up on his idea to stop settlements on "occupied territory" and work toward a separate Palestinian state, despite the fact that rockets were launched from Gaza into Israel immediately following Israel's withdrawal of that "occupied place."
-Obama is visiting Egypt this week. He will say nothing to them about sponsoring anti- Israeli terrorism (let alone anti-American terrorism).
-Obama is rather zip lipped with Iran this week as well, despite their open and boastful plans to continue nuclear bomb development, a bomb Ahmadenejad promises will be launched into Israel. Just one such bombing could kill 6 million Jews.
Lesson to be learned: Political Correctness insists on paying obligatory homage to the victims of the old holocaust. Unfortunately, it says nothing about preventing any new holocaust.
May I ask again? How do you like the change so far?
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
