Barry Rubin: Why Israel's Left Doesn't Support Obama or a Settlement Construction Freeze - '...So many Israelis on the left not only doubt the prospect of peace and blame the Palestinians for the situation and also favor the settlement blocs approach and are also made very nervous about a U.S. government that forgets past pledges to Israel and doubt Obama's willingness to be tough in opposing Iranian nuclear weapons. That's why there's no pro-Obama bloc in Israel today, not even on the left.' [Broken promises, Dishonest dealing, Lessons learned.]
