The American administration is punishing Israel because Israel would not cave into American blackmail and pressure over the "Palestinians." Not a great day for America, this. Disgraceful. Israel is far better off without the United States. At least under the current administration.

of pushing Israel under the bus is carried by both!!

I think you missed it this time. Obama is not punishing Israel for anything: Obama never intended to prevent Iranian nukes and only a fool would think otherwise. Also, you are wrong about Israel not caving in. Since Abbas demanded Israel surrender to his demands and spit in Obama's face by going to the UN, Netanyahu and Livni or searching for a formula where they can crawl back to Abbas without appearing total losers. What do you think Yitzhar was all about?

Obama, Kerry, Biden, set out for their targets with self deception, and blatant lies One day, not too far away, Americans will hold them to account

The obama policy has been from day one, CONTAINMENT. Obama will do nothing to prevent iran from becoming a nuclear power. obama will attack Iran only if iran drops an atomic bomb on New York City. Why else would obama pick a women, Wendy Sherman, to lead the negotiations, when she previously failed in the negotiations with North Korea! Wendy sherman is a social worker by education and training. Wendy is Hilary's C's friend and colleague.

I am rapidly growing tired of the whole handling. Israel set a bad precedent when it started freeing murderers and terrorists in pursuit of a wink and a promise. Abbas wants terrorists out of prison. He knows that Israel is not going to relinquish control of Judea and Samaria. He knows that Israel is most likely going to annex the territories. I'm just wondering how long it will take Netanyahu to realize that Obama is intent on building the new caliphate, and putting a stop to it. Time for Israel to assert itself. Annex Judea and Samaria, and send its Arabs to Jordan. They are, after all, Jordanian citizens. Don't want to go? Tough. What we most definitely should not do is retreat to 1948 borders because the next demand will be for Jaffa, Haifa and Akko. Me? I'd go another step. Arrest Abbas and try him for the murder of eleven Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972. We got all of the henchmen who got their hands dirty. We can go after the mastermind, too. No statute of limitations on murder, and no sovereign immunity for a non-sovereign.

You had to know the 'talks' would never work. They were meant for Israel's surrender to obama and his 'Saudi peace plan' which was a farce from the beginning. ( how any years ago? Even cheese has a pull date .) How treacherous for obama to 'demand that Israel end all settlement activities' while also 'demanding Israel release the convicted pal terrorists' as a 'good will gesture. 'Goodwill towards whom? Such monumental arrogance to make such demands of Israel an independent, allied nation whose had to fight and has won every battle these combined forces of pals/ muslims/arabs have thrown at her? I hope this will motivate Israel towards total Annexation and... Repatriation of ALL pals to Jordan. NEVER STOP BUILDING HOMES FOR JEWS !!!!

Last time I checked Iran was not negotiating with Israel about its legal and open LEU program, nor had Iran ever asked Israel for permission. Therefore whether anything regarding Iran is "acceptable" to Israel, is irrelevant.
