Frustration As Netanyahu Pleads With Obama Over Iran by peteregwu(m): 5:16pm On Sep 30, 2013
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu was set to meet with US
President Barack Obama on Monday
in what many Israelis saw as the
“moment of truth” in the ongoing Iran
nuclear saga.
The Obama Administration, like much
of the West, has been largely taken in
by new Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani’s recent charm offensive, and
that has Israel worried.
While US officials have struck
cautious tone, US Secretary of State
John Kerry didn’t succeed in hiding
his excitement over the prospect of a
“quick deal” to resolve the nuclear
crisis.
“If it is a peaceful program, and we
can all see that - the whole world
sees that - the relationship with Iran
can change dramatically for the better
and it can change fast,” Kerry said in
an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes”
on Sunday.
Kerry was previously excited over the
prospect of a “quick deal” leading to
the need of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. His approach to that issue
has, after six months, yielded no
positive results.
What has Israel concerned is Iran’s
ability to fool the West into believing
its nuclear program is peaceful. Or,
rather, that the West has so little
stomach for a fight that it wants to
believe Iran’s nuclear program is
peaceful, even if it isn’t so. As
Netanyahu has been pointing out,
that is precisely how North Korea
managed to defy all international
sanctions and threats and test its
nuclear weapon.
Many Israelis feel Netanyahu is
wasting his time sucking up to
Obama and trying to convince him of
a threat that Washington has proved
it either can’t or won’t deal with.
According to Likud MK Moshe Feiglin,
Israel itself should be providing a
viable threat of military force should
Iran fail to back down. That
Netanyahu is not taking this path “is
more grave than the collapse of the
preconception that led to the Yom
Kippur War. The idea of turning this
problem into an international problem
contradicts the entire Zionist
concept,” Feiglin told Israel’s nana10
News.
Nor is Israel the only one worried by
the situation.
While Arab leaders have kept tight-
lipped in recent weeks, Arab media
has been abuzz regarding the
possibility of US-Iranian
rapprochement
, which many Arab news outlets
labeled as “worrying” and a cause for
“panic.”

But the Americans have said several times that they have permanent interest and no permanent friends. That is why i laugh at Nigerian Christian who are always pro- Americans especially when they bombard or plan to bombard any Muslim countries. They fail to understand that America's greatest friend is Saudi Arabia( a Muslim country). I don't know when Mugabe becomes a Muslim( America is fighting him because of their selfish economic interest). North Korea too and So many countries that go against their economic dominance are far an anemy to them than the Muslim world.
