Reply #2: This is likely to be Obama's first Israel/Palestine test........

[kayecy]

This is likely to be Obama's first Israel/Palestine test. Look at this likely scenario:

1. In the next few days, Hamas, which claims to have fired rockets to open the border crossings will threaten Israel with more rockets if it doesn't open the crossings fully.

2. Israel continues to restrict the flow of essential construction material.

What does Obama do?

a. Follow Bush and exhonerate Israel's clearly inhumane blockade?
b. Move to a new policy and 'instruct' Israel to open the border crossings or the US will break the Israeli blockade by landing construction materials over the Gaza beaches?
c. Do nothing and watch resumption of hostilities?

We are about to see the real Obama!
