Israeli officials walked out during Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s speech at the UN General Assembly last week, but that was planned well in advance and would’ve happened no matter what he said. When watching the first day of addresses, the one that really angered Israeli officials was President Obama’s.
They were all set for Iranian calls for diplomacy, and had ready-made speeches accusing that of being an Iranian trick, but they assumed President Obama’s address would more closely parrot their own position, threatening Iran and issuing new rounds of harsh demands.
According to reports from those familiar with the situation, Israel anticipated that President Obama would demand Iran abandon its program in its entirety, and were shocked when he suggested Iran could keep a civilian program if they satisfied the US of its civilian nature.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the US the following week centered on lobbying the US to shift its position back to where it was, and while they got a pro-forma threat to attack Iran out of the president earlier this week, they’re increasingly skeptical that the US is serious about eschewing diplomacy in favor of hostility, and looking for new partners to start a war.
Looking for a new partner. Saudi / gulf states partners with Israel to strike at Iran? We can sit this one out, and let the Russians play e equalizer.? Play the game by selling arms and information to the higher bidder?
I do not agree with Obama policies, but whatever makes the Israeli government pissed I agree with. But no worries, they will kiss and make up later on some other issues.
This Zionist hysteria will increase to deafening levels as long as Obombah keeps dragging his feet on carrying out their marching orders on Damascus & Iran. The "israeli" war-criminal, NethanYahoo has a valid point after all: All this is indeed a threatening development for their little bloody colonial endeavour. Any prospect of peace and certainly with Iran will inevitably render "israel" more of an isolated world pariah and subsequently turn it into a democratic state, for all it´s citizens regardless race,religion and ethnicity. Expect further kicking and screaming, and false flag attacks in the region ahead. "israel" is a stillborn, stone-dead patient but very messy to keep on constant US life support, pull the plug now for the good of the world and themselves.
A key to their actions is their estimate of whether the US would be pulled into a war with Iran to support Israel if Israel just attacked on its own.
Apparently, they have doubts.
This leaves them two options:
1) incite Iran to do something provocative, such as by the assassination in Iran of a general they did a few days ago; or
2) sign on others the US feels it must support, such as Saudi Arabia or other Gulf Arabs, not because they would help an attack, but because they would force the US to help an attack after it gets started.
Obama is no Bush he will not be conned into another Iraq war. Israelis are just pi**ed off that without a Lewinsky or Jeff Gannon honeypot, AIPAC and Bibi have squat leverage on this POTUS.
You probably have too much faith in Obomba. Without the outcry of the American people and John Kerry's "blunder," the US would be at war with Syria right now.
The Us is not at war with Syria because Putin said enough is enough and sent the guided missile cruiser Moskva with a potent battle group to the Eastern Mediterranean. No cruise missile would get past them. You are dreaming if you think peace came out of a blunder.
Only the threat of reciprocal force brought the United States to the bargaining table and gave Obama a good argument to justify himself to Israel. I can imagine him saying to Netanyahu:"well I cant go to war with Russia to take out Syria for you."
Which brings me to this private visit. I can also imagine Netanyahu telling our president to stop any diplomatic move with Iran and he will deliver congressional votes to him through AIPAC at this critical fiscal juncture!
I always felt that Monika worked for the Mossad.
I don't believe for a moment that Obama says or does anything that isn't scripted or coached and isn't the product of government-paid public relations firm.
If Obama seems overtly reluctant to go to war, I suspect one (or both) of two things:
1) There is a conflict on Mount Olympus to which we mere mortals aren't privy.
2) The loyalty and obedience of the plebeian is at risk. The massively-criminal bank bailouts, the recent revelations about the NSA, and the overwhelmingly unpopular and so-far averted stampede to war with Syria have all worn thin the veneer of democracy. The plutocracy beneath risks being exposed.

Did Obama lied to Netanyahu? after all Obama knows that Netanyahu is a notorious liar and maybe was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Bibi spoke to an almost empty UN Assembly.
The Zionists' isolation (death in politics) grows apace.
Good! No need for the walkout so rudely trumpeted by israel against any iranian leader. Why is israel allowed so much dangerous interference?
Mr. Potato Head. Greedy little tyrant.
Israel' delegation walked out on Iran's speach, the general assembly never showed up for Israel's.
