Israeli news outlets reported today [15 Sep 2012] that President Obama rejected an appeal by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to set a specific \u201cred line\u201d to stop any further Iranian uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n
According to reports, in an hour-long conversation on Tuesday, Obama deflected Netanyahu\u2019s proposal to make the size of Iran\u2019s stockpile of close-to-bomb-grade uranium the threshold, the crossing of which would trigger a US military strike on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n
But it seems that, this time at least, President Obama has decided against launching a world war on behalf of the Jewish State and its powerful lobby.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need some ability for the President to have decision-making room,\u201d said an American official. \u201cWe have a red line, which is a nuclear weapon. We\u2019re committed to that red line.\u201d The meaning of this is simple: America just doesn\u2019t buy the Israeli intelligence reports regarding Iranian intentions.<\/p>\n
Israel is not happy. Apparently, the Israelis want to see Iran wiped out – and soon and its officials have already confirmed that such an American guarantee falls far short of the Jewish state\u2019s security needs.<\/p>\n
Ynet reported today that prime minister Netanyahu told reporters this week that \u201cthe Obama administration had no \u2018moral right\u2019 to restrain Israel from taking military action on its own if it refused to put limits on Iran.\u201d Ynet adds that \u201cthe remarks were followed by reports claiming that Obama snubbed Netanyahu’s request to meet during the United Nations General Assembly session in New York this month.\u201d<\/p>\n
So it seems that for now, the Obama administration has come to its senses – it has said NO to Jewish pressure.<\/p>\n
Of course, this decision is far more likely to be political than ethically or morally driven. Amid the presidential election, Obama has been quick to perceive a window of opportunity that may prove to be a game winner. Obama lets the Republican party and their presidential candidate Mitt Romney operate as Netanyahu\u2019s Sabbath Goyim. Obama clears the stage to Romney who foolishly and voluntarily pushes for another Israeli war, he lets Romney be a Zionist mouthpiece, the one who scarifies America and American soldiers for Israel. Consequently, Obama presents himself as a reasonable, sensible and responsible leader\u2013 all in all, a \u2018real American patriot\u2019.<\/p>\n
But, by now, one thing should be clear. Israel, as we now have long known, lacks the military capacity to destroy Iran\u2019s nuclear project and needs America to take care of it. Netanyahu and the Jewish Lobby were convinced they could, ahead of the election, pressure Obama into such a suicidal mission. They were wrong.<\/p>\n
But still, the take-home message is plainly written on the wall: Israel and its lobby are the gravest danger to world peace and they are not going to hold back.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve long known that the arrival of Obama did not bring peace. Like those before him, he has surrounded himself with rabid Zionist warmongers. But we can only hope that the penny has now dropped – even if we also know that the penny isn\u2019t worth all that much anymore.<\/p>\n
