And the whining begins. Barack Obama chose Rahm Emanuel to be his chief of staff in the new administration. I read about him, and to me his life choices sound ultra-biased about Israel (who in his right mind volunteers to serve in the army of a country he never extensively lived in?) to be in the White House at a time where everyone is so fed up with the Israel-Palestinian problems and wants a solution that works well for everybody. I don’t know the man personally of course, so I might be wrong, but I usually can read into people’s faces, and this guy spells trouble to me. I don’t believe him to be a neutral force, and I expect him to lobby hard for Israel. That’s good for Israel actually, but the question really is: who will lobby for Palestine?
