Obama’s approach to Israel also pleases us. We reiterated our hope for a peace agreement regarding the conflict over Gaza but established that any compromise must not come at the expense of human rights. Finally, we determined that it was best for the U.S. to end its rubber-stamp approval of all of Israel’s policies and for the two nations to scale down their alliance...
More appalling is the Crimson’s Staff sole criticism of Israel because its settlement policies “undercut the peace process” while blatantly omitting the serious lack of commitment from the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank toward peace.

And although Hamas is enforcing a halt to rocket fire from Gaza, it has also vowed to avenge the assassination of a top operative in Dubai in January. Israel, for its part, has threatened to attack Iran if diplomatic efforts fail to stop the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. And now the Golan can be added to that list of potential triggers...
