American Officials Deny Obama Admin is 'Punishing' Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 16/2/15 | Elad Benari

Senior officials in both the State Department and White House denied on Sunday evening reports in the Israeli media that the Obama administration is “punishing” Israel for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress and has stopped sharing information with Israel about the nuclear talks with Iran.

The report on Channel 2 News stated that Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman, who is in charge of the nuclear talks with Iran, has announced that she is no longer briefing Israel about the talks, because the Israeli government is using the information in a manipulative and political way.

Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, has also announced that she is cutting off contact with her Israeli counterpart, Yossi Cohen, because Israel has turned an international security issue to a political one, and is using it to influence internal U.S. politics, reported Channel 2.

Senior Obama administration officials denied the reports as false and told the Washington Free Beacon that conversations with Israel are ongoing.

“Conversations continue with Israel on the Iran nuclear negotiations,” a senior State Department official who asked not to be named told the website.

Translation of non-denial: Nope. Not punishing Israel. We always keep stuff from them anyway, and what we do tell them is usually a lie. We do have conversations with them, though.

Our President and his administration are actively transforming policies to favor a one state Palestinian entity. They are doing so incrementally as the can change American public opinion. As such, they are using Netanyahu as the GW Bush of the Middle East.

I don’t think John Q Public gives a damn whether Bibi is making a speech in front of Congress, but didn’t make a phone call to the WH beforehand. If this is what they’re doing to stir up public opinion, it’s pathetic.

"Obama is not doing it on purpose. He is just utterly incompetent."

How comforting.

It would be fitting justice if the USA-Israel-Iran triangle erupted in the administration’s collective faces. It just may...the world watches.

Bibi is just slapping the messiah around a little. Nothing serious but just screwing with obama’s head

This administration had been working against Israel since the beginning of OBAMA’S imaculation. Unfortunately, the rest of the democratic party is doing the same thing. They truly believe that the destruction of Israel would lead to WORLD PEACE. This puts the USA against the GOD of Israel. That is not a good place to be.

We can not deny it anymore. Obama is a jihadist.

Not only in the way he endangers Israel, which is big enough by itself, but in the case of releasing terrorists from Gitmo. He was orchestrating the Arab Spring and has allowed Isis it’s slaughter resulting in a Christian genocide. He and covers for jihadists who slaughter Americans as if they are his best friends; his heroes. He’s encouraging Turkey towards extremism.

We are set up for a future of sorrow and pain.
