Arabs for Israel Founder Nonie Darwish says President Obama’s Middle East policy is a failure and it’s been proven by the events of the past three weeks. Darwish says it’s unthinkable that our consulate in Benghazi did not have enough security and that the Obama administration took 10 days to admit Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in a terrorist attack. Obama called the murders a ‘bump in the road’ and Darwish wants to know, “A road to what?” She slams what she considers Obama’s habit of apologizing to Muslims and is unclear on what we could possibly be apologizing for.
She says Obama’s United Nations speech scared her – especially his statement that “the future does not belong to those who slander of the prophet of Islam”. Darwish says no religion should be above criticism and Obama’s language reminds her of the repression inside her native Egypt. She also says the lack of media scrutiny for Obama policies reminds her of how the governments often control the media in the Middle East.
Finally, Darwish says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a “brave man” in his defiance towards the Iranian nuclear program but she questions whether Israel can successfully stop the program without any help from the United States. She says it may already be too late to prevent a nuclear Iran.
