For years, American presidents have refused to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Even though Jerusalem is, in fact, the seat of government for the Jewish State, successive administrations have pandered to Israel's enemies, who hope to return the city to Arab and Muslim control.
Now, President Obama has chosen as the next director of the CIA a man whose sympathies for this ambition are so great that he actually prefers to call Jerusalem by the name used by those who reject its historic and present Jewishness. John Brennan calls it "al Quds."
Denying reality is never a sound basis for security policy. Even worse, Team Obama is inflaming the belief that America no longer stands with Israel, thus inviting a war that will be devastating for our ally,00 and potentially for us.
