Nordlinger, Palin to Israel: Despite Obama; You've Still Got Friends in USA

*
Sunday at NRO, Jay Nordlindger wrote about one of the many troubling facets of "change we can't believe in" facilitated by the election of Barack Obama -- the great shift in in U.S. policy toward our once-favored ally, Israel:

As I understand it, Israel is the only U.N. member-state — the only one of the 192 nations represented there — that is unable to sit on the Security Council. The only one. All the other states have a shot. And who has been Israel’s friend and protector on the Security Council? I’ll give you a hint: not France (although Sarko has been better than any French premier in memory). If Israel has not the U.S... it has itself, and — many, many Americans and others whose understanding of the Middle East is much different from, and better than, President Obama’s.

I smile at two little facts: Sarah Palin, in her governor’s office, had an Israeli flag. Siv Jensen, leader of a party in Norway called the Progress party, has an Israeli flag in her office. No, those women are not in power. But they represent a lot of people, who count.

Gov. Palin commented via Twitter:

@NROcorner Great work,Jay. Suggest for r Jewish friends(if they can count on enough allies' cont support)"We're here,no fear,get used to it"
