Didn't want you to miss this from Israel Matzav:

For Friday night's Obama White House seder, we hear there's talk of an alternate version of the traditional four questions:Introductory QuestionMr. President, why is this administration different from all other administrations?First QuestionWhy is it that all other administrations acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but this administration refuses to say Jerusalem is even located in Israel?Second QuestionWhy is it that all other administrations try to be friendly to the democratically elected prime minister of Israel, but this administration is bitter towards him?Third QuestionWhy is it that all other administrations try not to pick fights with Israel even once, but this administration picks fights with Israel more than twice?Fourth QuestionWhy is it that in other administrations the president visits both Muslim and Jewish states, but this administration visits only Muslim states? 


Although I don't remember the last president who visited Israel, at least not while in office.

Well, that's a bit unfair to this administration in that it just continues the existing policies all the previous ones followed, GWB included. But yeah, good questions nevertheless.

Beinart would like US citizens to boycott Israeli goods manufactured in the West bank.  The money "saved" in this boycott, according to him, should go to buy goods manufactured inside the green zone to support the "democratic Israel" (?#!).  You listen first to the kind of right words he lovingly excretes from his mouth, and then get to the very special boycott or some such stuff, and shudder....

Yep. Sounds like crapola.
