U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned Israel that they are becoming increasingly isolated in the region, and said they must find a way to get back to the negotiating table with the Palestinians.
In my opinion this has to go down as one of the stupidest things a U.S. official has ever said. Is it Israel's fault they are surrounded by nations that want to wipe them off the map? Is it wrong that they want to have defensible borders? Is it wrong that they don't want to surrender land that will be used as a staging are for rockets to be fired into the heart of Jewish communities?
Israel has been isolated since May 1948 when she fulfilled prophecy and once again became a nation. Blaming Israel for her isolation is like blaming an island for being surrounded by water and not attached to other land. It's ignorant statements like this, and the placing of blame on Israel that worry me that when push comes to shove our leaders will not take a stand for Israel.
