I guarantee you that Israel and the U.S. are coordinating plays and each knows exactly what the other is supposed to do at any given time. The Brits, French and Germans know what's really going on as well. Or have you forgotten the orchestrated 'arguments' between the U.S. and Israel in the past? Or the feigned indignation by the Reagan administration when Israel bombed the facilities in Iraq? Smoke and mirrors, yod, smoke an mirrors.
The problem is, this is not Reagan's administration, and Obama could care less about Israel. In fact, there is every indication that he and his administration will throw Israel under the bus. What you said was true in the past, but it no longer holds true. America will abandon Israel eventually just as every other country will, and the thought makes me cringe.
We don't know what this administration will do or not do....as evidenced last week. If you think about it, they really can't tell us without telling Iran and the other rogue countries. Everyone assumes that President Obama is against Israel. Why? He has neither said or done anything that proves that to be the case.
Probably because of his tough stand on Israeli settlements. He has made it clear to the Israeli government that he wants all current and future settlements to be frozen, while at the sametime he has given no pre conditions (that I am aware of anyway) to the Palestinian government.
