Cantor defends Israel
Congressman Eric Cantor has slammed the Obama administration's dishonest dealings with Israel. From Politico (via the Weekly Standard):
Update: it looks like Netanyahu is starting to switch from apologizing to going on the offense. The Knesset coalition chairman is gathering signatures for Israel's defense. And even some Democrats are uneasy over the crisis Obama's administration has caused.
The second-ranking House Republican blasted the Obama administration as “irresponsible” in its dealings with Israel, accusing the White House of trying to curry favor with the Arab world by deriding America’s closest ally in the Middle East.Oh, it has alright. In fact, as Melanie Phillips and Noah Pollak have suggested, this was all manufactured even for the purpose of trying to get Israel not to attack Iran, because the US government itself won't stop Iran from achieving nuclear power.

“While it condemns Israel, the administration continues to ignore a host of Palestinian provocations that undermine prospects for peace in the region,” Cantor said in a statement. “Where is the outrage when top Fatah officials call for riots on the Temple Mount? Why does the Palestinian Authority get a pass when it holds a ceremony glorifying the woman responsible for one of the deadliest terror attack in Israel’s history? Surely, the Administration’s double standard has set back the peace process.”
