Curious
Goldberg's phrasing of questions about whether Zionism has justice looked as if it was a trap in which to catch Obama...I agree that Israel gets a free pass in America, at least among politicians...outside of Washington, Americans are less sympathetic, and tired of the endless to and fro between the Palestinians and Israelis that seem as intransigent as the troubles were once in Northern Ireland.
Obama walks a difficult line here...if he looks too sympathetic to Palestinians, and seems to get an endorsement from Hamas, he loses the support of most mainstream Jews in US. If he is too pro-Israel, his more radical base claim he is doing what Greenwald says is so bad for most US politicians.
