Obama insists Palestinians must have state, rejects Iran deadline Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu emerged from his first meeting with US President Barack Obama Monday confident that Israel has the right to defend itself from the threat of a nuclear Iran. Following four hours of talks with Obama, Netanyahu told Israeli reporters gathered across from the White House that there are no green, red or yellow lights from the US but rather a shared sense that Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapons capacity. Speaking side by side at the Oval Office earlier in the day, Obama stressed the importance the US places on Israeli security and its recognition of how the Jewish state perceives the threat from Teheran, even as he defended his policy of engagement. Obama rejected the notion of "artificial timelines" in negotiations with Iran, which he indicated he expected would begin in earnest after the Iranian election on June 12 and could subsequently expand to include direct...

This makes absolute sense. But of course, we won't have to wait long before some appeaser finds fault with this totally logical approach. If anyone who backs the PA would take a LOGICAL, clear look at Bibi's proposal - they'd see that it also shows these animals for the whining, terrorist antagonizers they are. WAY TO CALL IT, BIBI!! Israel's new PM says he will discuss a Palestinian state only if Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state. Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking to US President Barack Obama's envoy to the Middle East about prospects for peace. Mr Netanyahu, of the right-wing Likud party, has not previously endorsed the creation of a Palestinian state. The envoy, George Mitchell, reiterated US support for a Palestinian state alongside Israel, in talks with the Israeli president and foreign minister. But Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the diplomatic process was at a "dead end" and a new approach was needed. A senior official in Mr Net...

ISRAEL IS NOT ALONE by Saul Singer Israel is not alone. Not because America's top general came to hold our hands, and not because President George Bush is arriving next month. And not because, as Daniel Pipes intriguingly argues, the US intelligence community's delusional reversal actually makes a US military operation against Iran more likely. Israel is not alone because Israel is the most Iranproof country in the world. Taking the most likely rather than the worst-case scenario, a nuclear Iran will actually have a greater negative impact on the lives of Europeans and Americans than on those of Israelis. In the popular subconscious, the Iranian threat, to the extent that it exists, consists of a nuclear missile strike against Israel to carry out Ahmadinejad's genocidal dream of "wiping Israel off the map." However disconcerting this may be on a moral level, in practice this is seen as "Israel's problem." No country, including the US, will preemptive...

LUNATIC RUNNING THE ASYLUM How much more PROOF do we need that this scum is a loon than his performances at Columbia and now his influences prior to Annapolis? How many BRICKS have to hit the radical Left before they realize that we can NOT negotiate with this sort of person? How many more lunatics have to be unleashed on us all before we take a strong stand and wipe them out? Ahmadinejad & Annapolis Amnon Rubinstein President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's declaration regarding a worldwide Muslim referendum on the transfer of Israel to Europe, America or Alaska further serves to underscore the fact that we are dealing with a lunatic - a shrewd one, yes, but a lunatic nevertheless. The problem is this: The world - and especially we Jews - have had bad experiences with lunatics who have military power; we have seen their mad visions become reality. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME Iran is a regional superpower and the fear that it will soon arm itself with nuclear weapons is not paranoia. H...
