The task of forming an international coalition to thwart Iran’s nuclear program will be made easier if progress is made in peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has said, according to sources in Washington.

Israeli TV stations had reported Monday night that Emanuel had actually linked the two matters, saying that the efforts to stop Iran hinged on peace talks with the Palestinians. The remarks were reportedly made in a closed-door meeting previous day with 300 major AIPAC donors on Sunday.

Last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Israel that it risks losing Arab support for combating threats from Iran if it rejects peace negotiations with the Palestinians.

Clinton said Arab nations had conditioned helping Israel counter Iran on Jerusalem’s commitment to the peace process.

Meanwhile, in an interview with the Jerusalem Post on Sunday, former US House speaker Newt Gingrich blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel and endangering the Jewish state.

He called US President Barack Obama’s program of engagement with Iran a “fantasy,” and his Middle East policies “very dangerous for Israel.” He summed up Obama’s approach as “the clearest adoption of weakness since Jimmy Carter.”

    Israel is like America USED to be. They don’t need an international coalition.

    What a bunch of weak-sauce bullshit. Isreal should tell Hillary to pound sand. If they want to sit their with their thumbs up their asses while Iran gets nukes then so be it. Let the Arabs deal with a nuclear Iran or get caught in the middle of a nuclear war between Iran and Israel.

    Just watch. Iran will get nukes and start threatening the entire region and europe and then our worthless “allies” who now love us will beg for our help. Obama doesn’t have the balls to face down Iran so THEY will be the ones to deal with it.

    The Pals already have a state. It is called Jordan!
    I wonder if any of these idiots ever wonder why there is a place called Judea? Could it be where the Jews came from?
    Nah… that would be to hard for them to understand.

    It’s all code-talk for this agenda: The Arabs, the EU, and the United States want these from Israel.

    1. Jerusalem totally under Arab control.

    2. Israel pulls back to the pre-1967 borders. Some want Israel back to its pre-1948 borders, which in both scenarios leaves Israel indefensible.

    3. “Right of Return” for the Paleosimian savages. Effectively, this is the demographic destruction of Israel.

    Anyway you slice and dice it, we want Israel GONE. Fortunately, Netanyahu will tell Obonga to stick it where the sun don’t shine.

    Israel alone has more balls than we have, even after the Left has ravaged Israel politically. They understand survival.

    Newt is too kind… Barry and Hilda don’t give a fuck about Israel. There’s no money in it.

      Barney is too busy trying to get into obama’s pants. He already has the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae money. But what he really covets is some “face” or “ass” time with obama. Then he can go skipping back to the little boys while obama wipes himself.

  • David

    rahm emanuel is so far up obama’s ass that you can’t see his toes wiggle. Israel is our only hope for a nuke free iran. First it will be Israel, then what is left of europe, then AMERICA, then their arab brothers. I may have the order wrong, but Israel will be first.
