Well, you did a fine job of making an ass of yourself by ASSuming. I've said any number of times in this forum my ME policy would be very simple.

I would tell every country in the region they had two choices:

They could learn to live together

Or they could die together

And if they messed with the US they would be vaporized

And other than for humanitarian reasons I'd cut the $$$ flow to all involved

Egypt met with Iran and others at the Nonaligned Movement summit and royally trolled them by condemning the Syrians. If there are two other countries in the middle east that wouldn't mind to see the Iranians taken down a peg it's Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Egypt Insults Irans Ally - NY Times

Again, agreeing to meet Netanyau at his demand just plays into his efforts to get us to back up his aggressiveness. Not kowtowing after already telling him no forces him to put up or shut up with his terrible plans.

Why should any world leader have guaranteed access to the US president?

I guess you didn't know that the Israelis call themselves occupiers and refer to the West Bank (and formerly to Gaza as well) as "the occupied territories."

That's because now you;re just making it up. Nobody has said they occupied what is actually Israel.

But here's what the Israeli's own Supreme Court has to say about the occupied territories.

Quote:
The Judea and Samaria areas are held by the State of Israel in belligerent occupation. The long arm of the state in the area is the military commander. He is not the sovereign in the territory held in belligerent occupation (see The Beit Sourik Case, at p. 832). His power is granted him by public international law regarding belligerent occupation. The legal meaning of this view is twofold: first, Israeli law does not apply in these areas. They have not been "annexed" to Israel. Second, the legal regime which applies in these areas is determined by public international law regarding belligerent occupation (see HCJ 1661/05 The Gaza Coast Regional Council v. The Knesset et al. (yet unpublished, paragraph 3 of the opinion of the Court; hereinafter – The Gaza Coast Regional Council Case). In the center of this public international law stand the Regulations Concerning the Laws and Customs of War on Land, The Hague, 18 October 1907 (hereinafter – The Hague Regulations). These regulations are a reflection of customary international law. The law of belligerent occupation is also laid out in IV Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War 1949 (hereinafter – the Fourth Geneva Convention)

I can't understand why the Jewish voters in the USA voted for Obama in very larger numbers. It will be interesting to see if Obama wins the Jewish vote again, I think he will, not in the same large numbers, but he will get at least 50 percent of it. If Israel falls the Jewish voters in the USA will have a lot of blood on their hands.

I like and Agree with 99% of your post. But, Israel will never fall, because God made a Covenant with Israel thousands of years ago.

Breaking: Obama Turns Down Meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu


Haaretz reports:
The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month.
An official in Jerusalem said that the prime minister’s office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obama’s schedule does not allow for a meeting.
The White House’s response marks a new low in relations between Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first time Netanyahu will visit the U.S. as prime minister without meeting the president.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak reportedly tried smoothing things over, but Bibi is having none of it.
“The world tells Israel ‘wait, there’s still time’. And I say, ‘Wait for what? Wait until when?’ Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don’t have a moral right to place a red light before Israel,” Netanyahu told reporters on Tuesday.
“Now if Iran knows that there is no red line. If Iran knows that there is no deadline, what will it do? Exactly what it’s doing. It’s continuing, without any interference, towards obtaining nuclear weapons capability and from there, nuclear bombs,” he said.
This is funny. Just why is it most american jews are solid democratic party supporters again?
