The Abandoment of Israel

I think it is despicable the way Obama has treated Israel since deceiving his way into his office. I don't for the life of me, understand why or how he can treat the one true ally we have over there the way he has. There is no justification or excuse. Time and time again he has sided with the Palestinians when he should have stood by Israel.
Israel is absolutely JUSTIFIED in its current blockade and according to international law equally as legal. When Israel has bombs constantly lobbed into them they have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary.
We should standing behind them, not chastising them as Obama has done repeatedly. Even some congressional Democrats are beginning to balk and become quick to step up to the mike in support of Israels right to stand up for themselves-finally. They are seeing the potential political fallout coming perhaps belatedly trying to do the right thing.
Of all the countries in the part of the world, Israel is the most like us. They respect a persons right to practice other religions, women work and drive, even be a respected part of the military. Name ANY other country over there that treats its women so well or respects other faiths as they do. You cant because there aren't any.
Israel also is the only true democracy in the Middle East. Why would we not stand up for the one and only capitalist ally we have in that region? We side with countries that not only in some cases support terrorism-outright or subtly, but we take every opportunity to defend them. We are isolating ourselves and allying ourselves with our and their enemies. This cannot be allowed to stand, because when Israel goes down to the Palestinian terrorists we will be truly isolated and the whole Middle East region will be in dire danger of falling.
