Meanwhile, in Israel…

From our friend Dan Friedman:

In case you haven’t heard, there is a pitched battle raging right now between Hamas and Israel across the border of Gaza. You can follow some of the action with this live Twitter feed from the Jerusalem Post.This will surely be a test that reveals a lot about Obama. If Israel appears to approach a point that materially changes the status quo, I don’t think BHO could resist staying Israel’s hand. (As if we didn’t know.)
