Report: Obama Threatened to Shoot Down IAF Iran Strike

by Mark Langfan

The Bethlehem-based news agency Ma’an has cited a Kuwaiti newspaper report Saturday, that US President Barack Obama thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

Following Obama’s threat, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was reportedly forced to abort the planned Iran attack.

According to Al-Jarida, the Netanyahu government took the decision to strike Iran some time in 2014 soon after Israel had discovered the United States and Iran had been involved in secret talks over Iran’s nuclear program and were about to sign an agreement in that regard behind Israel’s back.

The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.

Obama was going to shoot down military jets belonging to the only stable country in the entire Middle East, those of Israel — a nation that has been a friend of the United States for many years.

Why?

Is it just me, or does this not border on insane?  Why would Mr Obama stop the Israelis from defending themselves as Iran does its level best to develop nuclear programs — not for “study” or for “power,” but solely for conversion to offensive weapons?

Once developed, how long would it take for Iran to somehow “allow” one or several of those nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of ISIS or the Muslim Brotherhood or al Qaeda or Hamas or Hezbollah — either by “mistake” or purposely?

Please allow me to ask one simple question that I have yet to see the so-called Mainstream Media ask, a question no one seems willing pose:

With all the oil under its feet, why does Iran seem hell-bent upon developing nuclear power?  Iran doesn’t physically need nuclear power or its programs.  It could create tens or even hundreds of oil-fired energy production facilities around its nation, so that it could have guaranteed electric power damned near in perpetuity.

Yet, Iran cries that it must have nuclear programs in order to provide for its people.  I call bullshit on that.

It’s an excuse, and a poor one at that.  Read on:

According to the report, “Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army’s chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran’s nuclear program. In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel’s security.”

Check, please, the physical proximity between Iran and Israel:

Israel & IranThe distance between the two nations is roughly 1,100 miles, with only Iraq and Jordan in between.

Iran Missile ArsenalIsrael is easily within striking distance of missiles currently possessed by Iran.  Imagine arming them with nuclear warheads.

Clearly, Obama was raised by Communists and Muslims.  Read this if you doubt me.  There isn’t a Jew anywhere is Obama’s past; instead, his formative years were filled with Muslims in Indonesia and Communists.

The only Caucasoids he admired were Saul Alinsky (oddly enough, quantified as a “community organizer” by Wikipedia and the sole Jew that Obama admired), Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.

Relations between Israel and Barack Hussein Obama have always been rocky.  I believe this is because Mr Obama sympathizes with Muslims and disdains Jews.  This is in consideration of his upbringing and his education, amongst other things.

On Tuesday, Benjamin Netanyahu will speak before the US Congress, having been invited by John Boehner.  The Spite House is doing everything possible to scandalize and minimize this speech.

I wonder: is it because Mr Netanyahu intends to reveal and lend credence to Obama’s plan to down Israel’s aircraft?  Will Netanyahu accuse the Spite House of disallowing Israel to defend herself?

Ultimately, just what is the purpose behind Barack Hussein Obama choosing Iran over Israel in the Middle East?

And why?

Bibi stands in Israel: Netanyahu, allies narrowly cling to victory in Israeli election

Posted on by

Hillary Clinton And Benjamin Netanyahu Meet In WashingtonFrom FoxNews.com:

JERUSALEM –  In a stunning setback, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hard-line bloc fared worse than expected in a parliamentary election Tuesday, exit polls showed, possibly forcing the incumbent Israeli leader to invite surprisingly strong moderate rivals into his government and soften his line toward the Palestinians.

Netanyahu has won praise at home for drawing the world’s attention to Iran’s suspect nuclear program and for keeping the economy on solid ground at a time of global turmoil.

But internationally, he has repeatedly clashed with allies over his handling of the peace process. Peace talks with the Palestinians have remained stalled throughout his term, in large part because of his continued construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Netanyahu himself has only grudgingly voiced conditional support for a Palestinian state, and his own party is now dominated by hard-liners who oppose even this. A likely coalition partner, Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home Party, which won 12 seats, has called for annexing large parts of the West Bank, the core of any future Palestinian state.

Major press agencies are making this seem as though it is a defeat.  It is not.  It is a win for Bibi Netanyahu.  He still stands.  And he stands — apparently — for a reason according to Israeli voters.

One thing few realize about the background of Benjamin Netanyahu: his brother was the only Israeli killed during Operation Entebbe on July 4th of 1976 — Lt Col Yonatan Netanyahu.

War in the Gaza Strip?

Posted on by

First, rocket fire issued from the Gaza Strip at the hands of Hamas operatives into Israel, for days.

Then more than 50 Israeli air strikes were launched into Gaza, one of which killed Hamas leader Ahmed al-Jabari (his vehicle below) on Wednesday.

Egypt proceeded to back Hamas — no shock.

A Hamas rocket then killed three Israelis on Thursday, north of the Gaza Strip itself.

From the WashingtonPost.com:

Israeli officials ordered all residents living within 25 miles of the Gaza Strip to stay indoors, in shelters or in safe rooms. Israel also dropped leaflets overnight into Gaza warning residents to “stay away from Hamas and other terror organizations, operatives and facilities that pose a risk to their safety.”

If drawn out, the Israeli campaign could paralyze the crowded Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, trigger barrages of retaliatory attacks from the organization and its regional allies, and upend already cool relations between Israel and Egypt.

Is this the match flare that lights the true candle?

UPDATE: MISSILES IN TEL AVIV

From Bloomberg.com:

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak signaled that Israel is ready to escalate its military operations against Gaza after at least one long-range missile was fired at Tel Aviv by Palestinian militants.

The missile attack and the volume of fire in general toward Israel “is an escalation and there will be a price to pay,” Barak said on Channel 2 television yesterday. It was the first such attack on Israel’s commercial hub since Iraqi missiles in 1991 during the Gulf War.
