Well, the entire Arab world, for one. I don't think Israel will do much of anything rash without the full knowledge that America will be there for them with weapons and parts, not to mention Naval ships. I have been wanting America to stop supporting Israel for many years now. You would be surprised at how many billions of taxpayer dollars goes to Israel, I once read that it amounts to $25,000 each, per man, woman, and child there. Let them stand alone. Here are the real terrorists, they are called Mossad.

If Israel want to go rogue... let them go rogue! If they don't want to tow the line, let them be all alone in the world. Very alone!

This is, to me anyway, good news! This demonstrates that PERHAPS the US government is finally waking up and reassessing its relationship with the terrorist state of Israel. A rapidly increasing majority of Americans do NOT favor our current political ties with Israel and would prefer to a much more muted relationship - especially financially. Personally, I would like to see Israel completely isolated, sactioned and penalized until they start to demonstrate that they can operate as a respectable nation-state and play nice with their neighbors and their own indigenous arab population.

Let's look at it this way. There are a lot of people who simply don't like this administration anymore. I never was a supporter from the start. Perhaps this isn't so much about American-Israeli political relationships but more about the fact that the Israelis really don't like the people in the White House right now, the Cabinet members and head honchos all.
Notice how relations between the US and Israel got rocky only after this administration took power. This means that if another different party with a different Presidential nominee takes power in 2012, it means more than likely that US-Israeli relations will go back to smoother times like the Bush years. Which it seems more than likely that we will get a different President in 2012.

Just another mainstream media trick...

I see clearly, that now its needed to show to western public (or even to dumbest politicians), that US is suddenly separating it self from Israeli politics (Iran attacks) in the last steps to planned all out wars in ME - why?

That we will thought that USA is then (after first strikes) just defending itself from coming retaliations by Iran, after Israeli bombardments - That we think - US has been after peace and after diplomatic solution, but now its forced to fight.

I see also how this helps also in Israeli campaign to show to its own citizens, that they are now left alone to act against threats.

Same time that Biden is there to confirm 100% partnership with Israel... And next day their relations are in deep crisis. Yeah right!

Soon its everywhere - How USA is shown as the good guy, and Israel is the bad guy... But that doesnt change the status of marriage, and the common will - Attack to Iran. Too obvious game for me.

It's an elaborate Zionist plot to confuse Ahmadinejad. Make the US-Israel relationship seem shaky to prevent Americans being targeted when Israel prematurely attacks Iran. Too late for that, the US is already an accomplice.

So in essence we are looking at a "plausible denialbility" ploy... I never thought of it like that... Very interesting... Pretend to pull out in order to get back in later... Makes sense.

Don't agree with that way of doing things but makes sense...

I feel that the spate of verbal assaults that is going on between Israel and USA is a set up because of the following reasons:

1. If Obama was so upset with the historic snub delivered by the Israelis to Biden on the day of his visit, he could have addressed the issue by giving the Israelis his piece of mind behind closed doors. Instead, the MSM started reporting about how Hillary Clinton scolded Bibi on phone for around 45 minutes. It looks like the leaked details of the diplomatic outburst was meant to convince the audience that a real and an unprecedented fight is going on between Obama and Bibi.

2. By showing his displeasure towards Israel's actions, Obama is trying to distance himself and his administration from the actions (current and future) of the Israeli government. Until now, the rest of the world believed that Israeli and American actions (military or diplomatic) are always coordinated. But thanks to the latest diplomatic fallout (which looks to escalate further), Obama could distance himself from any actions (at least in the crucial initial stages) taken by Israel in future(example: Israel launches a "limited" conflict against Hezbollah that expands to Syria and Iran).

3. The point that I feel is quite strange is the apparent silence in the MSM regarding Iran's nuclear program. A few weeks back, Bibi and his government regularly and explicitly mentioned the need for urgent and crippling sanctions against Iran. But suddenly, there seems to be no progress (token or otherwise)on the diplomatic front against Iran.

4. I feel that the current clashes in West Bank has the potential to escalate into a limited conflict between Hamas and IDF. It remains to be seen as to whether the IDF would then move northwards to engage the Hezbollah as well.

It’s just more of the political divide and conquer pony show meant to distract us domestically with the nonsensical superficial issues while the economy continues to worsen and unemployment continues to rise and Congress stands poised to push through Health Care and Cap and Trade.

Israel has long provided the U.S. with its best pretexts for preemptive wars of aggression for oil in the Middle East.

The Powers that Be learned pretty quickly that nothing can drive up the price of oil faster and make more profits for them than saber rattling over Israel.

It’s why a day hardly goes by where Israel doesn’t look to get itself in the International Press with some half baked assertion or threat.

Behind the scenes the relationship is rock solid and likely never been better. When it comes to distracting everyone from Iran to the U.S. from more important concerns it’s all just staged theatre to that end and benefit, never believe the governments or the presses involved, they all lie.

The US has no business supporting ANY of the countries in the mid-east. If they wish to war with each and cause tons of bloodshed daily, then the world will be better off when not a single one of the barbarians are left to further their twisted schemes.

The US needs to withdraw their association and support with Israel and work on problems that CAN be solved such as the current economic situation in the US and getting folks back to work before there is a major crisis on our own land.

The fairy tale alignment of God and Israel is a bunch of garbage. For the sake of mankind, the belief in this garbage needs to end. For those that still buy into this fairy tale, you are just a full grown kid who still believes in Santa Claus. Except your beliefs cause HARMFUL VIOLENT behavior that is unacceptable in the pursuit of real peace and harmony among the inhabitants of the planet.

Ties between Israel and the USA are currently stressed and it is this political friction that threatens Israel and others. The USA under Obama could betray Israel if and when they attack Iran and such a betrayal could undermine the whole Israeli State and the Middle East.

Obama has no credibility and cannot be trusted. This tells me that Israel should be careful not to fall for Obama's diversions and deceptions because it could lead to Israel being annihilated off the face of the Earth.

Time will tell, but Israel should consider themselves on their own and in such a volatile world, whatever Israel does should be done with the possibility that the USA will not be there when Israel needs the USA and that Obama will continue to undermine Israel to the world and it is this Obama effort that needs to be seen as the threat that it is.

Israel should not allow itself to be the sacrificial offering that Obama offers up to his Luciferian Dark Lord and secret masters.

Thanks for the posting.

America are fools. They are stupid fools for giving Israel unrestrained access to such terrible weapons.

If Israel think they have some form of domination over the world, or that the world owes them something then they are wrong.

The fools in charge of America should tell the Zionists to back down, calm down and chill out.

Otherwise America will find themselves losing allies on all sides of the coin.

Foolish people.
