The Obama administration will sacrifice Israel and every Jew on the planet to get into the history books for having achieved "peace". Dead people are at peace and that is Obama's goal but it is dead Jews that Obama wants. Remember he bowed low before the King of Saudi Arabia and still keeps his hands open to Iranian dictators turning his back on Iranian freedom fighters offering deals to Ahminidijad rather than take the action that will stop Iran from developing a nuke.

Menachem ,   Israel   (03.09.10)
Israel has NEVER threatened to wipe out anybody and is stretching out a hand for any neighboring country interested in a genuine peace. The anti-semitic Iranian regime on the other hand has on numerous occassions threatend to wipe out Israel from the world map while they support terror against Israel and the rest of the free world. This is the reason why Iran must not and will NEVER be allowed to get nukes.

exactly. the fact that this point has eluded so many people is shocking. people keep on asking "why is there so much hypocrisy" -- but there is none. the world does not care if israel (or india, or even pakistan) have the bomb, because they know israel and india, and even pakistan, will not use the bomb. the world does not know what iran will do. they have publically said that they wish for a day when israel will no longer exist, and they have said that a war in the middle east will result in the end of israel. i don't want to invoke the big bad 'hitler', but it is important to note that hitler also never 'directly' said he was going to put jews in concentration camps. he did say that a war in europe would result in the "annihilation" of the jews in europe. use of the passive voice by these people should be recognized for what it is -- pre-emptive denial.
9. Israel also finds itself more isolated than ever.

With Iranian leaders calling for Israel's annihilation - - nobody seems to care..? Facing Iran: Lessons Learned Since Iraq's 1991 Missile Attack on Israel - by Moshe Arens Some say that while the missiles Israel faces are relatively cheap weapons, we are launching a very expensive missile interceptor against it, which does not seem very wise at first sight. However, the damage that might be caused by the incoming missile may far exceed the cost of the missile interceptor. Israel's missile interceptor system poses a dilemma to anybody who decides to launch missiles against Israel, especially a missile that has a nuclear warhead. The dilemma is that the missile may very well be intercepted and thus expose the launching of a nuclear missile, even if it didn't reach its target, which could bring about the response that could be expected for committing this deed. At the start of the Gulf War, the Americans said they expected that within 48 hours the U.S. Air Force would eliminate the missile launch capability of the Iraqis. If they did not succeed, Israel would be free to take whatever action it considered appropriate. Although there was intensive aerial activity directed at hitting the Scud launchers, not a single Scud launcher was hit or immobilized during the Gulf War. Furthermore, the U.S.-made Patriot missiles in Israel did not succeed in intercepting a single Scud missile. http://www.jcpa.org/JCPA/index.asp The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off their remembrance from the earth. Evil will kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous (Jews, Noachides) shall be accounted guilty. Psalm 34:17,22 *The evil that the wicked man does will kill him (Rashi). Wicked people will be destroyed by the very evil they set in motion (Radak). Behold, the one with whom I am not, shall fear, whoever mobilizes against you shall defect to you. Behold I have created a smith, who blows on a charcoal fire and produces a weapon for his work, and I have created a destroyer to destroy it.* *That is, to say: I am He Who incited the enemy against you; I am He Who has prepared retribution for him. Any weapon whetted against you shall not succeed, and any tongue that contends with you in judgment, you shall condemn; this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their due reward from Me, says the Lord. Isaiah 54:15-17

Irans intent is crystal clear, it is the annihilation of Israel - the lunatic mullahs have said it again and again. The perverted logic of the pro Iran politicians in the West regards these verbal outbursts as unsuspicious and takes them not as serious as they are. Hussein Obama for example still believes, he could seriously engage this scum into some form of political dialogue. The opportunistic cowards of the West are no friends of Israel and when Israel will have to pay the bill for their misjudgement of Iran, they will have no regret.
