Three years after President Obama promised he would always have Israels back, its clear he meant that Israel should watch your back.

Obamas 2012 vow was an election-year ploy that is now revealed as nakedly false. Every American president since Harry Truman has had a dust-up or two with their Israeli counterparts, but no president consistently has tilted toward Israels enemies the way Obama has.

His apology tours to Muslim nations and his pro-Palestinian stance, especially his demand that Israel negotiate with Hamas terrorists, were foolish, but carried no lasting impact and could be seen as naive mistakes.

But no such forgiving explanation is possible for Obamas six-year deferential courting of Irans mad mullahs and his correspondingly long animosity toward Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Despite the many tyrants, genocidal maniacs and dimwits who lead other nations, only Israels leader is singled out repeatedly for Obamas wrath.

This is a peculiar form of prejudice, one Obama embraces with too much relish.

The result is not a simple matter of temporary daylight between two great allies over a principled conflict. This is a ruthless turning on a special friend, one whose existence is threatened daily by our shared enemy of Islamic terrorism.

Predictably, the White House wants to paint the tension over the Netanyahu visit as a partisan extension of Obamas war with Republicans. Just as predictably, some black Democrats play the race card and claim the speech to Congress is a sign of disrespect to Obama personally.

Neither passes the smell test. The only thing that matters is whether Obamas emerging deal with Iran is a death knell to Israel and a threat to Western civilization.

If Obama really believes its a good deal, he should welcome a debate over its terms. Instead, he uses artifice and threats to silence disagreement.
