Israel does a lot of business with the EU. The EU can do some significant economic damage to Israel, something that Israel can't afford, especially if Obama starts weighing on on DAMAGING Israel at the same time.

Just think of it this way ... take all the sanctions applied to Iran, and then calculate how well Israel would stand up to all of that!

Good way to view this - transferring the sanctions from enemy to friend, from Iran to Israel.

Sickening the way this is going.

Bunch of cowardly bullies. Why don’t they rule for Putin to get out of Ukraine?

End times, all nations will stand against Israel.

Big deal. If hot air was valuable, the UN would be King Croesus. UN resolutions are not worth the used toilet tissue they’re printed on.

Israel will just move their relationships to the far east. Want to see America and Europe crap its pants, just watch when Israel provides China and India with advanced avionics systems.

Just think of it this way: what if Israel were to apply its own sanctions, and stop its export of water, electricity, medical care and other products and services to neighbors it disapproved of?

Is there any doubt that Obama will be receptive to imposing the same sanctions on Israel as those being lifted from Iran?

They need to be careful. If they upend Oslo, what would Israel’s legal responsibilities be to the Palestinians? Cooperation on tax revenues, water distribution, import/exports/job permits, and scores of other essential services would be put in jeopardy. If they say that cooperation between the two sides will not work now, I am not sure how they think it will work afterwards.
