      1. A very good @joshtpm post on a very fatuous statement by Leon Wieseltier:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/does-obama-have-the-special-feeling …

      2. It's buried deep in the piece so I want to highlight an important point @joshtpm makes about Obama's supposed indifference to Israel

      3. Real evidence that Obama doesn't "care" for Israel is that he's not willing to expend political capital to push Israel in peace process

      4. Obama's attitude on the Israel/Palestine is if Israel were smart it would work for deal know, but it's not up to him to push them.

      5. There's a certain coldness in Obama's view not just of Israel but of Middle East and indeed non-American world.

      6. Obama thinks its his job to be President of United States, so what decisions other nations make about their destiny isn't his bailiwick

      7. There is a critique to be made of Obama's really cold realism and indifference to human rights.

          @HeerJeet You've mistaken, as people often do, clear-eyed rationalism for coldness. Sure, a critique could be made. It would be worthless.

          @HeerJeet And not simply that he does it but the coldness with which he admits that his reasons won't help those who lose loved ones
