Barack Obama is bad news for israel ,and this is now slowly sinking in omong most Israelies ,even on the left side of Israeli politics .
It seems possible that the middle east is now heading towards another cycle of war , and a much bigger one than the last two limited border shoot-outs.
With Tyrkey now standing behind syria , anything is possible (exept for a pregnancy). Syria has just stopped being afraid of an israeli invasion of its territory, and has now supplied Hizbulla with enough weapons to be a strategic threat of its own .
Barack Obama is not really relevant in this game , he won't be capable of preventing a war ,he won't play any role IN the war , and if war happens , he won't be capable of preventing Israel from getting the supplies it need to win it either.
Luckily Israel is in a good shape for whatever commes our way. The economy is going full speed ahead , and our military leadership is among the best we'we had in a generation. And most important of all, lots of young soldiers grew up knowing rockets can fall from the sky.
