| U.N. rebukes of Israel permitted in U.S. policy shift |

 Genius. Pure genius. Why didn't any of Obonzo's predecessors think of this?Under President Barack Obama, the United States no longer provides Israel with automatic support at the United Nations where the Jewish state faces a constant barrage of criticism and condemnation. The subtle but noticeable shift in the U.S. approach to its Middle East ally comes amid what some analysts describe as one of the most serious crises in U.S.-Israeli relations in years. |

| #10 Obama still can't see Turk jihadists swinging steel bars at disarmed IDF soldiers, on the deck of the Mavi Marmara. Moral blindness I guess. |

| #5 Article is Reuters, which just admitted they doctored the flotilla photos. Little Green Footballs called them on it as they edited out a knife and some blood as a commando lay bleeding on the deck and Fox picked it up. Bas+ards. Has anyone asked them how they feel about this? Why they did it? What they hoped to accomplish? Why they feel the need to promote a lie over the truth? Who did it? Have they cleaned out their desk(s) yet? |

| #2 "It's still difficult to decipher the intentions behind the changing U.S. policy at the United Nations, and not just in regard to the Middle East," the official said. "Difficult" for some I suppose. How many Arab countries has Barry visited now.... and never stepped foot in Israel? |
