Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit Europe before the end of the year in an effort to persuade leaders to step up sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.

Netanyahu told the United Nations last week that Iran will likely have to be stopped by next summer, by when it would have amassed enough 20-percent enriched uranium for a bomb. He has said he does not rule out a military strike.

After unsuccessfully lobbying US President Barack Obama’s administration for support for such a strike—or for an American declaration that Iranian activity beyond a certain “red line” would invite US military intervention—Netanyahu’s plans for a European trip to push for tighter sanctions on Tehran seem to signal a shift in policy. …

Agreed. Both Israel and America are in desperate need of a new REAL AMERICAN president.

Netanyahu’s allies are likely to be India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan.

Israel can trade nuclear technology and high tech systems for political, financial and military support. Each of the above have learned they can’t depend on the United States and they all need something that Israel has.

Thanks Olog-hai. This is one consequence of that Nobel Peace Prize — sanctions good, bombing the nuclear mullahcracy bad.

With America selecting Presidents like Osama Yo Mamma Obama it seems America has stabbed Israel in the back. But we know Obam was just too busy preparing for Letterman to visit with the PM.Then are shooting hoops— and polishing his mystery ring- the evening prayers and the next campaign fundraiser so much to worry about —all of it more pressing than stopping Savages from nuking Israel.

“...the Israelis have literally no friends in the world.”

Israel has one really really BIG friend...in another world.

Nations aren’t people, they have allies, not friends. Friendship is forever, alliance is temporary and only lasts while the relationship is mutually beneficial.

Plus since Europe won the Nobel Peace a prize today, they probably won’t be wanting anything to tarnish that! /sarc

Maybe not! There might still be a few Euroweenies who feel sorry for what they let happen to the Jews in the 30's and 40's.

That’s not the definition of a Euroweenie. By all of those so described, the Philistines are the oppressed good guys and the Israelis are the monsters bent on their destruction.

Call that the setup for the bigger fall, if you like. The president has, remember, expressed admiration for the EU’s leadership in the past; therefore that is where he gets a great many of his cues from.

It is truly unfortunate that Israel is surpassing America in its job of leader of the “free industrialized” west AKA western civilization. But somebody has to man up.... and there is nobody better on the planet today than Netanyahu!

To compound issues, its equally unfortunate we have a muslim in chief in our white house. Soon? The white house will be abolished. Look for minarets.
