Report: US Spied on Israel, Prepared to Destroy Israeli Bombers to Protect Iran
The Jewish Press ^ | October 23rd, 2015 | Lori Lowenthal Marcus

Posted on 10/25/2015 12:21:28 PM PDT by xzins

In an explosive report we learn that ever since 2012, the United States has been spying on Israel in order to prevent the Jewish State from attacking suspected Iranian nuclear sites, according to Friday’s Wall Street Journal.

The White House had sent an additional aircraft carrier to the region after learning that Israeli aircraft had flown into Iranian airspace in what U.S. officials feared was a test run for an attack on Iran’s Fordow plant. The carriers had attack aircraft on board prepared to respond to any Israeli attack on Iran.

If that wasn’t enough to strain the conceit that the U.S. is Israel’s strongest supporter, U.S. officials also revealed to the Journal that Israel was responsible for the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Several U.S. officials also claimed that Israel wanted to strike Iran in 2012, and that the United States pressured Israeli officials into retreating.

The U.S. attempted to keep its nuclear power negotiations with Iran concealed from Israel because of disagreements over the extent to which Iran should be permitted to pursue a nuclear program. Israel took the position that because Iran has an abundance of energy resources, it had no peaceful purposes for its nuclear program.

Ping.

Always suspected, and now overtly stated.

Israel should have attacked Iran during the period between Obama’s election and his inauguration, while Bush was still in office. It is immensely more difficult now.

I hate to ask this question, because I think I already know the answer.

But here goes anyway. Suppose Obama gave the order to attack Israeli forces. Would anyone in the chain of command have the courage to quietly ignore that order, and instead sit down and write a letter of resignation?

Because if a few key folks did that, Obama would be thwarted, at least for that one time. (Yeah, I know I'm dreaming.)

I don’t think the story is true at all. The political reverberations would have been astounding, as well as the strategic loss of Israel as a friend.

And the piper would eventually have to be paid.

Apparently, Obama actually is threatening to intercept any Israeli attack.

Both the Iran Nuke Law and this information about Obama’s intervention on the side of Iran suggest biblical identification of some kind for Obama.

U.S. spies on everyone, even NATO nations (such as Germany). I'd be more surprised if they (the government) weren't spying on Israel.

Israel surely does the same. Just look at Jonathan Pollard, who's supposed to be released this year.

I want to see verification from another source or two before I believe this. Even Opeasor wouldn’t have the audacity to attack Israeli aircraft. I wonder if she is confusing normal carrier group rotation along with some rumors?

Yes, there are those who would refuse. I’m certain. But there are others who would obey.

Other than voting democrat, American Jews won’t do anything to overtly harm Israel, yet neither will they lift a finger to support her.

Genesis 12 New International Version (NIV)
The Call of Abram

1 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

Obama wouldn’t out of the blue issue orders to attack Israel because there’s a good chance they’ll be ignored. However, he could manufacture scenarios where reasonable doubts could lead to an attack. You have to prepare the societal battle space.

I also read somewhere that the U.S. is paying Palestinian families to run in and stab IDF.

“The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

Following Obama’s threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.

According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.”

This will force Israel to use ICBM’s and drones. David vs. Goliath.
