Obama warns Israel: Don't attack Iran ... Without telling us first

obamaisrael

President Barack Obama sent a message today via his envoy to Israel: Do not surprise us with an attack against Iran.

From Haaretz:

The message from the American envoy to the prime minister reveals U.S. concern that Israel could lose patience and act against Iran. It is important to the Americans that they not be caught off guard and find themselves facing facts on the ground at the last minute.

Obama did not wait for his White House meeting with Netanyahu, scheduled for next Monday, to deliver his message, but rather sent it ahead of time with his envoy.

It may be assumed that Obama is disturbed by the positions Netanyahu expressed before his election vis-a-vis Tehran - for example, Netanyahu's statement that "If elected I pledge that Iran will not attain nuclear arms, and that includes whatever is necessary for this statement to be carried out." After taking office, on Holocaust Memorial Day Netanyahu said: "We will not allow Holocaust-deniers to carry out another holocaust."

Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak do not oppose American dialogue with Tehran, but they believe it should be conducted within a limited window of time, making it clear to Iran that if it does not stop its nuclear program, severe sanctions will be imposed and other alternatives will be considered.

    Israel should shut it's pie hole, and remember who (the US) allows their existence in the M.E, and who puts that pie in their pie hole!

    Without the US help Israel could not existed.

  3. This is just getting ridiculous, Israel just needs to be put on a short leash or the US should just sever its ties with them.

  5. If the US won't take out the terrorist's thats threaten Isreal then the Isreali's have the right to self defense. It would only take 1 or 2 of them nukes to shut iran up. why dont the isreali's just do what they done to syria. taught em a lesson pretty darn quick. most important thing is to protect the holy land. where Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior walked shouldna never be harmed one bit. isreals gotta do what isreals gotta do, even bam bam recognize that.

    Where is all this "terror" from Iran?
    Have they dropped White Phosphorus on anyone's children lately?
    Are they occupying someone else's home?
    How many world leaders have they assassinated?
    How many UN representatives have they murdered?
    How many innocent lives have they shattered?
    That they are sickened and angered by what happens
    in Palestine should be of no concern.
    That puts them in the majority of world opinion.
    Big deal.
