DEBKAfile’s Washington sources report that the Obama administration is on the threshold of a major rapprochement with Tehran, a reversal of US policy dramatic enough to block out international sanctions. Iran will be allowed to keep its nuclear program, including military elements and enriched uranium stocks, up to the point of actually assembling a weapon. [..]
The US president is willing to ditch Israel as a friend. This will be brought home to Jerusalem when he makes his big speech on April 7 appealing for a grand US-Muslim global reconciliation. The US president is preparing to tie a Palestinian-Israeli settlement - on Washington’s terms - to such unrelated issues as Afghanistan and Pakistan as the currency for purchasing Muslim and Arab backing for accommodations of these outstanding terrorist fronts.
Scary stuff.
Israel may decide to say “no” to a sovereign Palestine and “no” to giving up the Golan, in which case Obama’s entire Muslim outreach crashes. He will have no choice but to go to the mat with Israel. In fact the more he beats up on Israel, the better his relations with Iran will be. He needs Iran to be a partner, not an enemy. He needs Iran to help in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama will have to convince Saudi Arabia and Egypt that such a rapproachment is good for them, too. That leaves Israel out in the cold.
It would not be the first time that Israel was abandoned by its patron.
During WWI, Britain had need of the Jews and so issued the Balfour Declaration in favour of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The San Remo conference in 1920 awarded Palestine and TransJordan to Israel.

Could you summarize your view of Putin?
Here we go again. Of course Obama will betray Israel.
Bush also betrayed Israel many times with his endless demands to shut up and take it as the Muslims kept attacking Israel.
Of course the Clintons were big time Muslim lovers with their ol bed time pal Yasser Arafat, who spent many a night in the white house as a honored guest.
They too always have been and remain Jew haters.
Russia indeed might be a better friend than America has been.
larry
There is no way that Russia will be Israel’s main ally.
...”I will bless those who bless Israel, and I will curse those who curse Israel”.
It will be “G*d damn America”, but not for the reasons given by Jeremiah Wright. The Lord’s covenants are eternal.
New front for garbage from Debka?
Well, that would be a complete waste of time on my part - in view of your previous post(s) above in this thread.
Mkay.
something like this:
ALL HAIL GREAT PUTIN! HAIL THE HOLY RODINA!
Consider the source.....
Israel sells high tech weapons to Russia and China all of the time. Come to think of it, so do we. Obama will probably sell all sorts of things to them.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Funny thing those elections....
Regular opportunity to ruin your own country!
Sadly, if I were Israeli, I would be starting to think along the same lines.
Russians who are loyal to the Chekist Putin are traitors to their own people, just like the vermin Putin himself and all his apologists.
Not really. Liberal American Jews don't much care about Israel. They have made their choices and they have chosen to assimilate here and enjoy American peace and prosperity.
You may be right. Under the Czars, the Russians were a protector of the Christians in or near Jerusalem.
And the British Empire collapsed almost immediately thereafter.
Shalom.
