Secretary of State Kerry practically acts as proxy for the Hamas terrorist group, and his predecessor, Hillary Clinton, excuses Hamas' use of human shields. As President Obama likes to say, "That's not who we are."
'Our starting point must always be a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel," Obama wrote in a much-celebrated 2007 Foreign Affairs magazine article. "That commitment is all the more important as we contend with growing threats in the region — a strengthened Iran, a chaotic Iraq, the resurgence of al-Qaida, the reinvigoration of Hamas and Hezbollah."
Seven years later, Iran is a half-step from being a nuclear power; Iraq is 10 times as chaotic; post-bin Laden al-Qaida is stronger and more widespread; Hamas is actively at war with Israel, firing rockets at civilian centers; and Hezbollah says it "will not spare any means of support" for Hamas as its Iranian backers warn Hezbollah can fire missiles "nonstop" on all Israeli cities.
Part of Obama's Arab-Israeli solution was "isolating those who seek conflict and instability." On foreign policy in general, he promised "sustained, direct and aggressive diplomacy — the kind that the Bush administration has been unable and unwilling to use."
In fact, we have done the opposite of isolating aggressors. Secretary of State John Kerry last week presented Israel with a cease-fire proposal he cooked up with Hamas supporters Qatar and Turkey, a deal to cave on all the terrorists' demands. The multiparty, contentious Israeli Cabinet then did what was thought impossible by rejecting a U.S. proposal unanimously.
