Aaron Lerner zit aan de rechterkant van het politieke spectrum in Israel.
Schrijft hij expres "DM [Defense Minister] Obama", of haalt hij Barak en Barack per ongeluk door elkaar?
Op de Westoever zijn niet veel kibboetzen, maar in de jaren '70 werden er enkelen gevestigd in de Jordaanvallei. Ook de linkse Arbeidspartij wilde die toen behouden voor Israel om veiligheidsredenen. Het Allon plan voorzag in teruggave van het Palestijnse kerngebied aan Jordanië, maar de onherbergzame Jordaanvallei en de woestijn van Judea waren vrijwel onbevolkt.

Kibbutzim in Jordan Valley Furious – DM Barak destroys foundations to placate Obama
Dr. Aaron Lerner
Date: 25 April 2010
Maariv correspondent Daliya Mazori reports in today's edition that members of Kibbutz Almog and Beit Ha'arava in the Jordan Valley say that they are abandoning the Labor Party in protest of the demolition on Thursday of foundations for homes for the sons of Kibbutz members at the instruction of Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
The foundations were almost completed prior to the construction freeze and the kibbutzim promised not to continue construction until the freeze ended – and to date honored their word.
DM Obama ordered that the foundations be demolished because they were not completed before the freeze.
"He insisted that they be demolished. We met with Barak several times. I told him, we honor the law and won't play around, but please leave the foundations alone. He stood his ground. The claim we heard from him was that Obama wanted to see that construction is being demolished everywhere it takes place and not just in the settlements." Mordechai Dahman, the head of the Megilot Dead Sea Regional Council said.
