"I have to admire the residents of Iroquois territory..."

Layer by layer -- like an onion -- we unpeel Barack Obama's disdain for America's allies. And each layer is more disturbing than the last.

Earlier today, President Obama said that Iran has a right to pursue nuclear technologies.

In May, Secretary of Defense Gates stated that a "military strike wouldn't halt Iran's nuclear program", apparently giving the all-clear to the fanatical Mullahs, with their twin desires of martyrdom and acquisition of nuclear weapons (not necessarily in that order).

And now, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has levied new demands on Israel and its tiny sliver of land, which is roughly the size of New Jersey.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has issued an unprecedented statement clarifying President Barack Obama’s demands for Israel to stop expanding Jewish communities in areas it acquired following the 1967 Six-Day War, including Jerusalem...

One of the Jerusalem neighborhoods resettled by Jews after the 1967 war is the Old City of Jerusalem, which hosts the Temple Mount, the holiest place in the world to the Jewish people.

Ms. Clinton’s press spokesman was asked if President Obama’s demand to halt expansion of “West Bank Jewish communities” included a demand to stop expansion of Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem.

The answer was affirmative. The U.S. State Department demands that Israel limit Jewish growth in these areas of Jerusalem, “whose status remains to be determined” in negotiations.

Israeli Government Press Director Daniel Seamen reacted to this Obama administration statement by saying: “I have to admire the residents of Iroquois territory for assuming that they have a right to determine where Jews should live in Jerusalem.”

Aside from the snippy comeback, one thing is clear.

Obama is more of a friend to Iran than to Israel or the United Kingdom. This wasn't unexpected, of course, for a man who frequented a church friendly to Hamas and home to coterie of anti-Semites.

It's gotten so bad for the Left that useful idiot Alan Dershowitz, who endorsed Obama, now calls him "dangerous for Israel."

Gee, what gave it away?
