“The man who was once called “Israel’s lawyer” tells his story from the perspective of Israel and its lobby, and says that Israel started getting the brush from the Obama administration after Tom Donilon stopped serving as national security adviser and Susan Rice took over.”
As in, the Obama administration “brushed it off”?

The obama worshipper neglects to mention obama bombing a hospital in kunduz, interesting, he apologised, no doubt sincerely (not) so I guess its slright then. Maybe good old phil will find a way to pin it on israel as well.

Rafi. Obama did not direct/glorify/gloat over the Kunduz tarrgeting unlike Nitay who has been absolutely wetting his pants in glee over the carnage which he has been inflicting on innocent men women and children in Gaza in the last decade. And no I don`t think that Phil will pin the blame on poor little defenceless victimised misunderstood Israel for this one . He has got what is known to the civilised Western world as “integrity” – something that currently is a rapidly shrinking commodity in your vainglorious little Middle Eastern colony.

Phil reporting on Dennis Ross’s article, “Donilon would have smoothed things over with Israeli PM Netanyahu and assured him that the US would use force against Iran. But Rice and Obama didn’t want to use force.”
Ross actually means this as praise for Donilon, where “use force against” means bomb the Iranian people based on a non-existent nuclear threat, yet another Muslim nation with tens of thousands dead at US hands, and assuring deadly responses from Muslims worldwide. This man actually represented the US in “peace talks” between Palestinians and Israelis. Incredible!

It may come as news to Dennis Ross, but all members of the UN promise “to refrain from force or threat of force”, so when the US tells Iran that ‘all options are the table’ that is a threat of force. And that is a violation of solemn promises made by the US and many other countries.
Dennis Ross is of course intentionally blind to all of this. What would restore his eyesight?
If the US told Israel that “all options are on the table” in dealing with Israel. That definitely would get his attention.
Those who, like Netanyahu or Ross, never tire of proclaiming that “this is Munich”, never think about how much like Munich it must look to the other side. If the Iranians capitulate to US/Israeli military threats, the US/Israel will threaten Iran again.
