Washington, not J'lem, needs to issue clarifications (Op-Ed) BHO leader of CAIR Int?

The United States' recent request for a public clarification from National Security Adviser Uzi Arad following the IDF's killing of three wanted Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades terrorists in Nablus is unusual and raises questions.

Arad's reported need to explain to his US counterparts the defensive nature of the IDF operation several days after the Iranian-backed terror cell's murder of Rabbi Meir Chai, a father of seven, seems exceptional. This IDF operation was no different than hundreds of other actions against Palestinian terror groups that have murdered well over 1,000 Israeli civilians since the Palestinian Authority launched the Aksa war of terror in 2000.

As a rule, the US has not asked Israel for public clarifications on antiterror operations. Clearly, close communications are important. There are multiple security and intelligence channels between Israel and its closest ally that have been and should be used to handle these types of security queries. The Israeli Embassy in Washington, the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, the US consulate in Jerusalem, military attaches and representatives of respective intelligence agencies are appropriate addresses.

Seriously, Israel needs to break off all diplomatic efforts and talks with this lame Administration. Personally, if I was Netanyahu, I would have told this Adminstration to frak off, literally and to do so till the US has elected a real and competent president.

Obviously this clueless Obama/Clinton Dept of State bunch are insensitive as to US-Israeli relations and they are trying the Chicago mob style of intimidation to force Israel to do as it demands..Netanyahu should just send a terse message and say ‘ Request denied ‘..Better yet ‘Screw you ! ‘

That's actually a pretty good idea.

I wonder how long the dinosaur media could spike that story.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

This is another golden opportunity for Israel to give zero the finger.
