Jerusalem, Israel — February 26, 2015 … When people ask why is Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu coming to Washington to discuss Iranian nuclear weapons, the answer should be - Google Iran.
The first news item to appear is an Iranian military attack on mock US warships.
A fiery attack on mock US warships as Obama and Kerry try to negotiate a nuclear weapons agreement with Iran?
Let’s make this vividly clear, as US Secretary of State Kerry sits in Geneva at peace talks with Iranian leaders, Iran hangs Obama in effigy at a huge Tehran-sponsored rally marking the Islamic Revolution’s 36thanniversary, an event that underscores the absurdity of the ongoing diplomatic effort.
As Obama and Kerry beg for a deal with Iran, Iran displays on their state TV bombing attacks against mock US targets.
And so that there is no misunderstanding, a camera from Iranian state TV panned across a banner which read: “If the Americans are ready to be buried at the bottom of the waters of the Persian Gulf – so be it”, a quote from Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Is Israel going to trust it’s very survival with a US President who begs Iran for any kind of nuclear weapons agreement while being spit on by Iran?
A US President who will not share the details of Iranian nuclear talks with Israel?
A US President who ignores Israel’s leaders and instructs his Vice President and Secretary of State and every democratic member of Congress to ignore Israel’s Prime Minister and Minister of Defense?
But perhaps of even greater concern is Kerry’s recent remarks before Congress.
Kerry testified: “Despite ISIL, despite the visible killings that you see and how horrific they are, we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to Americans and to people in the world than normally; less deaths, less violent deaths today, than through the last century.”
Retired US Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, responded saying that Kerry is “out of touch with reality, he clearly is not listening to the entire U.S. intelligence community.”
The top U.S. intelligence official today gave a drastically different assessment than Secretary of State John Kerry of the terror threat – declaring 2014 the deadliest year for global terrorism ever recorded.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, testifying on Capitol Hill, catalogued the growing terror-fueled violence in stark terms.
“When the final accounting is done, 2014 will have been the most lethal year for global terrorism in the 45 years such data has been compiled,” Clapper told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
And Israel is supposed to “trust” Obama, Kerry and Rice with it’s survival?
Iran is threatening to annihilate Israel.
It is building the nuclear bombs to make that possible. It has lied to the world for more than a decade about its nuclear program.
Iran is an oil superpower and energy exporter that has no need for nuclear energy.
America is about to sign a bad deal with Iran that will leave them something in the range of 5000 spinning centrifuges enriching Uranium.
Israel is not party to the talks. It has been cast in the same position of Czechoslovakia in the Munich agreement of 1938 where Britain and France negotiated away Czech security (and much of the country) without the Czechs even allowed to be present.
And while Israel faces the possibility of genocide, the Obama administration shows gross insensitivity to an Israeli leader for simply speaking out.
Netanyahu does not come to the US to get elected in Israel. The average voter in Israel could care less about seeing Netanyahu meeting with Obama. They only care for maintaining a stable economy, having a pay check to pay for their food and for their national security which needs to defend against Islamic terror and missile attacks.
Israel and the US enjoy the best relations.
This love affair between two, modern democracies is not in any danger.
Their shared values are on the same page, same paragraph, same word.
One would only suspect that Iran and other Islamic nations such as Turkey and Qatar would want to play divide and conquer but there is no need to as long as Barack Obama continues acting hostile to it’s closet, most trusted ally in the Middle East.
With Kerry, at Congress, calling into question Netanyahu’s judgement, using Netanyahu’s support for an Iraqi invasion, something that Kerry voted for and Susan Rice, declaring that Netanyahu was destroying the fabric between the US and Israel, it is not hard to understand why Fox News asked today: “Is President Obama anti-semitic?”
You know, for 35 years these ivory tower intellectuals have been talking about a “grand bargain” with Iran. They always say that the moderates are ready, and if we just try hard they’ll stop hating us.
Maybe after 35 years the realization might be.....maybe they DON’T want to bargain!
So Iran builds a 2/3ds mockup and sink it with a 30lb bomb or something ....
If I didn’t know better, I might conclude that Obama hates Jews and that he hates America. It’s a good thing NYT assures us that there is no reason to question Obama’s patriotism.
Muslims operating in concert.
