Israel Is Part Of Middle East

Just in case anybody is "not in the know" [aka liberals], Israel is part of the Middle East and has every right to adopt Arab customs. At least that's what CBS is informing its readers.

Howard Arenstein posted a report on the lacksadaisical posture of NØbama in serious talks with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It shows NØbama in a comfortable reclining position with his feet on his desk and the soles of his shoe displayed. It's a typical photograph of the first president ever in history to not wear a tie in the Oval Office.

Supposedly Israel is upset and I'm sure that there are those who are offended by NØbama's casual approach to nuclear war in the Middle East.

He has too many world issues that he alone has to solve besides worrying about fashion. He sure has heck doesn't care about protocol or what our allies, France and Britain, think of him. The drive-by-deemed worthy god wants the world to know NØbama is above pettiness.

But that's NØbama. He's an arrogant elitist. We already knew that. My problem with Arenstein's report is that he had to explain to his audience that Israel is a part of the Middle East.

It is considered an insult in the Arab world to show the sole of your shoe to someone. It is not a Jewish custom necessarily, but Israel feels enough a part of the Middle East after 60 years to be insulted too.

Maybe the CBS reporter flew on British Midlands and learned that on its air traffic maps Israel didn't exist. Or maybe its' because Arenstein was educated at the socialist foundation's funded Annenberg School of Communications. It's hard to think that professionally living for over 7 years in Israel as a reporter for the Jerusalem Post newspaper and Israel Radio, Arenstein doesn't get that the majority of the world understands that Israel has a right to live in peace.

Arenstein would have his readers relate to Israel in a special way. That it's nice to learn Israel is feeling comfortable in its shoes as part of the Middle East. Not the Jews, mind you... just Israel.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... I mean the Global White House, Barack wants the world to know he has everything under control. So much so, I expect a photo op soon of NØbama barefoot.
