‘This is the new America. We had better get used to it,’ says TV commentator after president leaves door open to Iran’s sanctions demand, defends Putin’s missile sale
Israeli analysts expressed shock and amazement Friday night at President Barack Obama’s stated openness to Iran’s demand for the immediate lifting of all economic sanctions, and his defense of Russia’s agreement to supply a sophisticated air defense system to Iran.
There was no immediate official Israeli response to the president’s comments, which were made after the start of Shabbat in Israel, when politicians generally do not work.
“Jaws dropped” around the studio, said the Channel 10 News diplomat commentator Ben Caspit, as news broke of Obama’s declared empathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to supply Tehran with the S-300 missile defense system.
“Obama is something else,” Caspit added. “He’s decided to take America out of the wars…”
The station’s news anchor, Alon Ben David, chipped in, “He’s amazed that the Russians honored an agreement with him [for this long]? That’s what is astonishing.”
Responded Caspit, “This is the new America. We had better get used to it.”
Channel 10 also quoted unnamed senior Israeli diplomatic officials saying the prospect of Israel derailing the deal taking shape in US-led talks with Iran on its nuclear program was now zero. “The Iran issue is finished,” the officials were quoted saying.
In Washington earlier on Friday, Obama said he was surprised that Russia’s suspension of missile sales to Iran had “held this long.”
Obama noted that Putin had previously suspended the sale “at our request. I am frankly surprised that it held this long, given that they were not prohibited by sanctions from selling these defensive weapons.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has furiously protested the planned supply of the advanced systems, and phoned Putin this week to try to persuade him to reconsider, but was rebuffed. Israel fears the S-300s would complicate any military intervention as a last resort to thwart Iran’s nuclear drive. It also fears Iran could supply the missile defense systems to Syria or Hezbollah, diluting Israel’s air supremacy over Syria and Lebanon.
Obama on Friday also left open the door to “creative negotiations” in response to Iran’s demand that punishing sanctions be immediately lifted as part of a nuclear deal, even though the US has said the framework agreement reached in Lausanne earlier this month calls for the penalties to be removed over time.
Asked whether he would definitively rule out lifting sanctions at once as part of a final deal aimed at keeping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, Obama said he didn’t want to get ahead of negotiators in how to work through the potential sticking point. He said his main concern is making sure that if Iran violates an agreement, sanctions can quickly be reinstated — the so-called “snap back” provision.
“How sanctions are lessened, how we snap back sanctions if there’s a violation, there are a lot of different mechanisms and ways to do that,” Obama said. He said part of the job for Secretary of State John Kerry and the representatives of five other nations working to reach a final deal with Iran by June 30 “is to sometimes find formulas that get to our main concerns while allowing the other side to make a presentation to their body politic that is more acceptable.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani insisted last week that they would not sign a deal unless all sanctions are lifted right after an agreement is signed. Obama initially portrayed their comments as a reflection of internal political pressure, while pointing out that the framework agreement provides for sanctions to be phased out only once international monitors verify that Tehran is abiding by the limitations.
Where is the Mossad when we need them?
"I Blame Hillary and

Oh, and Death to America!"
Israel’s window of opportunity is closing.
It needs to come to terms with the immediate need for it, and take out Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
What choice does it have?
I don’t see one, other than waiting for Iran to deliver a bomb to Israel and detonate it.
Have they been sleeping the last six years? Sheesh.
To all the U.S. Navy SEALs who haven’t yet been placed aboard helicopters and murdered.. TIME FOR A COUP TO SAVE AMERICA FROM THE PROGRESSIVE-FASCISTS!
Obama badly want Iran to get as many nukes made, mounted and fired off as quickly as possible to eliminated the thrones in his side - Israel, the Vatican, and uppity Wall Streeters in NYC - that why Iran take the hit and he can go golfing ...
Who will nuke Israel first — Iran or Obama?
And is America their next target?
No, this is America for the next 21 months.
After that, you'll have another friend in the White House, unless the GOPe nominates another milquetoast.
..........FACT: Valerie Jarrett, born November 14, 1956, Shiraz, Iran.
This woman knows all of Obama’s Secrets that our Main Stream Media, gutless judges hiding behind standing and cowardly politicians worried about their personal wealth have conspired to hide from us 325,000,000 people, called Americans.
How many relatives back in Iran is this woman trying to protect? How many billions are in a bank for her? Has she advised her pal Obama that “buddy, if you don’t play ball here I will have all your hidden documents (birth cert, fake SS#’s, college records etc etc) delivered to Fox News in 15 minutes! And, THAT’s just a START pal!
This country is in Major EXISTENTIAL jeopardy and our leaders, particularly our military leaders, are too stupid to know or to cowardly to do anything about it.
American citizens are in the same helpless position the people of Egypt were in when Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood took control WITH THE HELP OF HILLARY CLINTON. The difference is, EGYPT DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND JAILED MORSI AND HIS HENCHMEN! Now Al-Sisi is in charge and Egypt is a closer ally to Israel than America is under 0dungo. And SADLY this IS the truth.
Israel, this is not the new America. It is our Marxist Muzzy _Resident.
Don’t blame all of us for the malevolent freak.
How could they be shocked? At every turn, Obama and influential Jews have been weakening Israel repeatedly. Most of my life, I could not understand the problem. I mean, the slaughter of Jews happened in Europe and the ME, not here. I wonder if some people have taken up the popular view that Christianity replaces Israel in God’s eye? There were many anti- Jewish Treatises back in the reformation period.
What on earth could possible separate the root from the branches? Something is there, nonetheless. Something that remains wedged between Christians and Jews. I still don’t get it completely.
Israel needs to act.....now!
Yep...
“Who will nuke Israel first — Iran or Obama?”
Iran with Obama’s treaty/deal; that simultaneously with nukes to the Vatican and an Iranian ICBM to NYC. This should be enough to touch off a worldwide nuclear war, if not Iran will nuke Moscow and Beijing. Anything to bring the little guy out of the Well (in accordance with Iranian Shia 12er beliefs) and so lead the entire human race to Paradise (extinction).
Don't be silly...these uppity Wall Street crooks are his BFF...
There are friends and then there are “friends”. Once they have given all for Obama’s “legacy” and his library, then they are expendable; a point quickly approaching.
