Obama taking 'wrong' path over Israel

IRAN'S top authority said US President Barack Obama was pursuing the same "wrong path" as George W. Bush in supporting Israel and described the Jewish state as a "cancerous tumour". The comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all policy in Iran, are likely to disappoint the new US administration which has been seeking to engage Iran but has called on Tehran to "unclench its fist".

"Even the new president of America, who has come to power with slogans about changing Bush's policies, is defending state terrorism by talking about unconditional commitment to Israel's security," Khamenei told a conference on the Palestinian issue in Tehran.

Khamenei also said Mr Obama was following the same "wrong path" of his predecessor in the White House.

The United States has long called on Iran to end its opposition to peace-making in the Middle East and stop supporting organisations like Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas group that Washington considers terrorist.

Iran hasn’t read the papers lately to see that Hillary and HolyO are planning on giving $900 million of American tax payer dollars to Hamas to help ENSURE the destruction of Israel!! HolyO’s ‘reiteration’ of the previous administration’s committment to Israel’s security is just lip service, nothing more.

If Israel didn’t have the hand of God protecting it, it would be a glass parking lot in the middle of all those peace loving muslim countries surrounding it!!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem—by any means necessary!

Hey Israel, we’ve supported you financially and politically for decades. The bulk of your national defense capabilities and your general standard of living has come from the American taxpayer. It’s time for you to step up with a bold act, on behalf of all of us.
