A Happening Middle East

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

In the midst of all the things that are happening in the Middle East, what with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton hopping from Egypt to Israel to Ramallah, some very important attacks have never even made it to diplomatic radar screens.

While Clinton was in Israel a US naval ship, firing on a small rubber boat, killed the attacker. After several warning shots were fired aim was taken at the rubber speed boat because it would not turn away and it was coming directly at the US Naval ship.

And then, while Clinton was still in Israel, Gaza terrorists shot two rockets at Israel. They landed in an open field and no one was hurt.

The point is this: the Palestinians are pushing the United States to push Israel to make concessions to enable them statehood. They are pushing so hard and the United States is so consumed by this demand, that nothing else can make it onto the US radar screen.
