Obama's Posturing Strains Key Alliance
(Chicago Sun-Times) Steve Huntley - Five hundred years before the golden Steve Huntleyage of Greece, Jews constructed homes in Jerusalem. A thousand years before the birth of Jesus, Jews led by King David established the city as their capital. A millennium and a half before the arrival of Islam, Jews built housing in Jerusalem. Now, for some reason, President Obama has chosen to turn Jewish construction in Jerusalem into a make-or-break issue. This manufactured crisis is no way to promote peace negotiations and will only fuel Arab intransigence.
