Obama Admin to IDF Generals: Stop Being So Concerned About Israel’s Security
free beacon ^ | 12/26/13 | Staff

The Obama administration is pressuring Israeli generals to stop publicly voicing their concerns about the administration’s security proposals in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and instead endorse the administration’s plans, according to Israeli media reports.

The administration is seeking a complete or partial IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, where the border between Israel and Jordan lies at the eastern edge of Judea and Samaria, also called the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority has long sought control of the valley. However, Israel and Jordan are opposed to an IDF withdrawal, which they fear would enable the transit of terrorists and arms through Jordan into the West Bank.

After a prominent retired Israeli general spoke out against IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, Israeli media reported that the Obama administration’s head envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Martin Indyk, convened a meeting of Israeli security officials. He pressured them to drop their objections to the plan and make media appearances in support of it to help sell a skeptical Israeli public on the benefits of a reduction in security.

The Israeli generals’ top priority (or any priority)is not about giving foreign policy wins for Barry and his minions, or advancing Barry’s agenda in the ME.

It’s time for Israel to tell the Obama administration
to piss off.

Yes, and it would be nice if they bought a full page ad in the New York Times to do it.

Obunga’s admonition in the title seems as though he caught himself in mid-sentence and clammed up. It seems to me that his complete thought, had he clearly spoken his mind, would have been, “Stop being so concerned about Israel’s securiy; you can plainly see that I never have given a %&#$ about U.S. security, and I’ll soon be declared PRESIDENT IN PERPETUITY!
