OF COURSE there should be an embargo. Who publicly believed their “PEACEFUL NUKE POWER” lies before? I’m pretty sure nobo or hillary publicly fell for that.

So now they admit the lie that we all knew was a lie, AND WE HAVE SEEN VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT THAT IN THE MEDIA????

OF COURSE THERE SHOULD BE AN EMBARGO, RIGHT NOW.

The current administration sees Israel as the problem. There will be no significant US action under any Democrat regime.

You missed the last part of the logic... Liberal Jews do not love Israel. They may like it to varying degrees, but they are liberals first.

“Liberal Jews do not love Israel. They may like it to varying degrees, but they are liberals first.”

There’s a biblical parallel - the Babylonian freedom - they were given the right to go back to Israel but only 2% did so - they had businesses, lives in Babylon & were more interested in that than in Israel. The impression I get from the Bible was that it was selfishness on the part of the people who wouldn’t go back & rebuild.

America is better off. Even liberal jews give more than they take from society. But it’s crazy that jews support nobo.

“Liberal Jews do not love Israel.”

My sentiment exactly. A bit politically incorrect to say/type out loud...

All the more reason to say/type it out loud, in my book...

Western diplomats believe that China, along with fellow veto-wielder Russia, would block any Security Council sanctions targeting Iran's energy sector.

There's no way the Obama administration is going to make an end run around China and Russia to keep Israel from being annihilated, and Netanyahu knows it. It's as likely as not that Israel doesn't have enough time to wait for the reins of power to change hands. You're on your own, Israel.

After everything Christians have done to all Jews of varying social/political viewpoints over the centuries, what makes you think this “current version” of Christian should be trusted?

Because I am one... and most of my friends are Christians... and most of America's support for Israel comes from Christians... and MY LORD was a Jew... and my best friend is a Jew... and he is standing beside me now and agrees with what I say... and ISRAEL has had no better friends than those of us that have ALWAYS supported ISRAEL. Can you get your mind around that?

Shocking: Israel looking out for it’s own interests (not to mention the rest of the middle east). Shocking.

Sounds good to me.But Israel should realize that such an act could provoke a serious response.

Born again, evangelical & fundamental Biblical Christians do support Israel, and in fact are the greatest supporters that Israel has in America. There is a staunchly fundamental Christian group in America called Yeddidim (not 100% sure of spelling) of Israel, which stands for Friend of Israel. They raise funds & donation for Jewish settlements and also contributed warm pullover sweaters to Israeli soldiers, men & women, serving on the Syrian & Lebonese borders. We believe that God still has a mission & purpose for the Jewish nation of Israel, that will be fulfilled in future prophetic events.
