Today on Uncommon Knowledge, John Podhoretz, editor of Commentary Magazine, on Obama and Israel. What, exactly, does the administration think it’s doing?
The Obama administration possesses a view of the situation in the Middle East according to which there is an original sin. It used to be in the world of the liberal imagination of foreign policy, that the original sin was Western imperialism. The new original sin is the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands…The entire chronic instability of the Middle East has its root in this one kernel of disorder and decay.
