Op-ed:
Israel, Iran, and the Obama factor
By: Diane Sori
Barack
HUSSEIN Obama's photo-op 'it's all about me' trip to Israel was
intended to heal open wounds that he will NEVER admit were of his
doing...of Obama's doing because of his less than outward support for
our most staunch of allies. Vacillating between mediocre support for
the Jewish state and his true support for all things muslim, Obama
told Jewish leaders that he was determined to prevent Iran from
obtaining nuclear weapons, that all options were on the table, but
that there was still time for a diplomatic solution.
NO,
I don't think so...
Not as long as Iran continues to play
games with the gamekeepers, for even in light of a newly discovered
'secret' nuclear site (called Quds meaning Jerusalem), 15 miles from
the Fordow facility (with a capacity of 8,000 centrifuges and with
three operational chambers), Iran still assumes they're calling the
shots. And as of now, you know what, Iran is as they just turned
down the P5+1 (France, Germany, the US, China, Russia and Britain)
proposal to limit their nuclear ambitions by limiting their uranium
enrichment to 20%, and having them shut down their Fordow underground
facility. Claiming the offer has 'no balance' as it demands Iran
give up more than it gets in return for what they called 'a modest
relief' from sanctions that have crippled their economy, Iran just
stalled the game yet again giving them even more time to keep working
on their nukes as NO sanctions currently in place has forced them to change their nuclear ambitions.
And Obama knew about this turn down even
as he was bloviating with his best 'for the camera' smile to Israeli
students in Jerusalem about his so-called 'support' for Israel by
saying that the US would NOT stand in the way if Israel decided to
take unilateral action against Iran. Sure Obama, send Israel in
alone in light of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's threat that if any
military action is taken against Iran they would level both Tel Aviv
and Haifa.
"Every now and then the leaders of
the Zionist regime threaten Iran with a military attack...They should
know that if they commit such a blunder, the Islamic republic will
annihilate Tel Aviv and Haifa"...a NOT so veiled threat by a
supposed holy man...a madman really...and with madmen calling the
shots in Iran anything is NOT only possible but probable.
And what did Barack HUSSEIN Obama say
to this...it's hard to hear through his deafening silence.
And Obama oh so willingly happens to
forget Netanyahu's 'red line' warning from last September's U(seless)
N(ations) speech that if Iran succeeds in the enrichment process they
will reach an 'immunity zone' where it would be too late for military
action to stop them, and that could happen by the middle of this
year.
Obama's 'support' of Israel is photo-op
'empty substance' support and NOTHING more for if he really supported
and stood by Israel against an enemy determined to wipe them off the
map he would get in Iran's face and say to Iran's leaders, 'mess with
Israel...you mess with us.' Sadly, I guarantee you that will NEVER happen.
And then there's his 'hidden in the
words' condemnation of Israel in regards to the Palestinian issue.
"The only way for Israel to endure
and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the
realization of an independent and viable Palestine," Obama said
at the Jerusalem Convention Center. "Peace is necessary, but
peace is also just.”
Tell me how Israel is to make peace
with an enemy who continuously lobs rockets into their cities, the
latest attack happening while Obama was there. Does Obama care...NO
he doesn't as his answer was to ask Israelis to consider the
Palestinians' "right to self-determination and justice" as
they work toward a peaceful solution. Definitely gagging on that
one.
Bottom line...if Barack HUSSEIN Obama
was a true supporter of Israel he would stop giving aid and lip
service to the enemies of Israel. Playing both sides against each
other in what is really already a war is nasty business and dangerous
to Israel, for the time is fast approaching when Israel will be
forced to funnel all its resources into defense while Obama smirks
and gives a wink to his muslim brethren.
Thankfully, Benjamin Netanyahu is a smart man, an ex-soldier strong of
character, a man wise enough NOT to give any serious credence to the
empty words of a community organizer who is play acting the role of a
president (and doing a terrible job of it I might add) for Obama's
sudden about face, pro-Israel bloviations are nothing but reading script
lines for the cameras. Remember, actions speak louder than words...and
actions like arming the Muslim Brotherhood with F-16s and Abrams tanks
says what his true intentions really are.
So did Barack HUSSEIN Obama's trip to
Israel heal old wounds...maybe to him and his smirky smiling persona
for the cameras it did but for true leaders of courage, like Benjamin
Netanyahu, all it did was show that when it comes to all things Obama
his words are as empty as his true support of Israel is.
