The US State Department said Monday in a press conference that it disagrees with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's assertion during his UN speech on Monday that "ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree."
"Obviously, we’ve designated both as terrorist organizations, but ISIL poses a different threat to Western interests and to the United States," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "And that’s just a fact."
Later on in the speech, Netanyahu said that Iran is still a great threat to Israel's existence. He also warned that Iran is not actually willing to give up nuclear weapons but rather just wants to get rid of the sanctions against them.
In response, Psaki said that the US would like Iran to reintegrate into the international community by showing that their nuclear program is peaceful.
"I can assure anyone that an agreement reached would not be based on a charm offensive or how that impacts us, but on the facts and the details," she said. "And we’re not going to agree to a comprehensive agreement that doesn’t meet our standards and meet our threshold."
She brought up other issues, such as Iran's poor human rights record and terror funding as other factors straining the US relationship with Iran.
When asked at the press conference if she was worried about Iran wanting to use militant Shia Islam to "take over the world," Psaki said she was more concerned with getting Iran to agree to curb its nuclear activities in exchange for an easing of economic sanctions.
"I can assure you...that obviously we’re focused on the here and now, and our effort is focused on these negotiations and the upcoming deadline in November."

Hang in there Netanyahu, you are right
Dam ! The science is in ,.. and I missed it !!
Since it is a fact , it is above refutation !
How about you are just too freaking stupid to understand a geneology tree
and realize that it is all ISLAM ? World Caliphate
..or are the words too large for you to understand ?
Get a real job , other than sucking the Government teat!
The Hussein regime disagrees.
islam and peaceful should never be used in the same sentence. That's the same as saying satan is peaceful.
Furthermore, ISIS, Hamas and CAIR in the US are branches of the same poison. Each branch knows its own current bounds by its location and circumstance, but share the same murderous Koran and ultimate goals. Transplant US CAIR where Hamas is, and it would do what Hamas is doing; transplant US CAIR into Iraq/Syris, and likewise.
The U.S. doesn’t The Obama administration does, two separate things.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yawns are no surprise. The administration is on top of ISIS, anything anyone outside the inner circle says is unworthy of attention.
He is 100% dead on and Psaki is another idiot without a brain. She could not pour urine out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the bottom.
The State Department may disagree, but we must look at how often they have been wrong in the last six years. And are wrong once again. Netanyahu’s speech was about the best speech I have ever heard from the UN podium. I hope everybody gets an opportunity to read that speech, it is a keeper.
Dear Friends, if what we’re hearing is true in Bahgdad, then the next 72 hrs might see everything coming down everywhere with our people running for their lives.
Leaving aside for the moment the questions of on which facts such an agreement would be based, and no, Jen, you can't!
As much as she may mouth what she considers assuring words to anyone, only LowInfo voters, Leftist Totalitarians, Democrats and Muslims will find assurance therein, all the less since she would be the one bringing the message.
With her credibility in such tatters, the country would be better served by seeing that she's replaced without further ado.

Our Government no longer has the support of it’s citizens. We just can’t do anything about it and isn’t that a shame.
He’s about to grant amnesty to millions, the citizens don’t want it. He’s just going to cram it down our throats, we can’t do anything about it.
