President Barack Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes in 2014 if they were sent to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, according to reports attributed to a Kuwaiti newspaper.

According to the website Israel National News, the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an cites Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.

Al-Jarida reports that the alleged threat from the White House forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the planned attack.

An Israeli minister on good relations with the Obama administration reportedly tipped Secretary of State John Kerry to the plan and that Obama vowed to shoot down the planes when they crossed over U.S.-controlled airspace in Iraq.

Al-Jarida quoted "well-placed" sources saying that Netanyahu, Minister of Defense Moshe Ya'alon and then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman made the plans for airstrikes after consulting top commanders.

In addition to the attacks, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to try to thwart any nuclear deal between the United States and Iran over fears that a nuclear Iran is a threat to Israel's existence, the newspaper said.

Israeli pilots reportedly trained for weeks on the mission and even were able to fly into Iranian airspace without being detected by radar.

Israel's fears of nuclear attack are not new. In 2007, an Israeli airstrike took out a suspected nuclear site in Syria. A 1981 airstrike took out a

If true, I’ve gone from embarrassed to ashamed.

If true, I'll personally fly to Iran and destroy their nuclear program with my super strength.

This report did not originate with News Max. The Drudge articl says that John Kerry was tipped off to the Israeli plans by a U.S. friendly Israeli minister, a spy in other words.

just for la augh, here’s a defense of the kenyan. what if he felt he was making progress with negotiations and didnt want them derailed by an israeli attack. he could easily have been bluffing when he told israel to back off.

It’s something he’d probably like to do, but he knows that would be the end of his presidency. Consider the source.

“If he is not the Antichrist, he’s the closest thing on Earth.”

He’s a fore-runner for sure. He is ANTI-CHRIST, but not the guy folks are looking for.

Interestingly.....this guy seems to fit the mold very very well according to Daniel’s Prophecy.

He hails from the Thrace Region in Turkey, but is Greek (which raises all kinds of red flags for prophecy buffs).

The Democrats are going all out to prevent Netanyahu from speaking here. Why? Politics? Nope. What do they care if the leader of Israel gives a speech?
Obama cried when Eric Holder left. Why? He didn’t cry when anyone else left. It’s because Holder was Obama’s shield.
The end game is coming into play. The Democrats have played a masterful defense, but the game is coming to an end.
It isn’t politics. It isn’t political blackmail.
It’s criminal.

Ah, so you weren’t critizing News Max, but the original source. Well, other papers have picked up the story me, as well. So, now even if this is a Dan Rather type of relativity, the administration will be put into the spot of proving a negative. While it might not make much of a difference in the U.S., it will in Israel.

In other words, I don’t really care if the story is true.

Why would it end his presidency? The Senate Democrats wouldn't vote for removal, even if he killed their families. He is their Liberal Messiah and they worship Him.

Obama has brought this curse on America. If he is not the Antichrist, he’s the closest thing on Earth.


I don’t know about all that be he is on the wrong side of Israel. That is not a good place to be.

Even a dunce like Obama isn’t going to authorize our jets shooting down Israeli aircraft.
