Never has Israel ever faced the kind of threats to its survival as she is today.
On the one hand, Iran is threatening to attack Israel with nuclear weapons and on the other side we have Hamas sitting on Israels border attacking daily with rockets smuggeld in from other countries, including Iran.
Now the Obama administration is threatening the Netanyahu government that unless they are willing to support a two state solution which means having a terror state on its border, Israel will not be able to count on international support, including US support (remember that at the AIPAC conference in 2 weeks) in her possible preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
From Hillary Clinton:
"For Israel to get the kind of strong support it is looking for vis-a-vis Iran, it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts. They go hand in hand," she told the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee

Israel has been warned
As Barack Obama concludes his adulationfest with Europe, he leaves no doubt in anyones mind what his plans are for Israel. By telling our "allies" (who can't stand us) that America, has in the past, been arrogant, dismissive, derisive in our realtionship with the Europeans, he is signalling a new day in US/EUrelations.
The problem is that the main thrust between our strained relations has been our stance on Israel versus the European position. Europe is rife with anti-semitism and pro-Arabism. With the exception of Great Britain, which also harbors antipathy towards Israel, the EU has actively worked against our interests, "remember the war on terror?" And why? Because the EU resents our taking the lead in any anti Arab war unless it includes provisions to address the Palestinian issue. In fact, the EU has consistantly acted against the US in the United nations whenever there were votes to condemn Israel.
By promising to be more respectful of Europe and to enhance our relations with them, Obama has in essence, promised that Israel will no longer be able to count on US support the way it has in the past.
Yes to terrorism and radical Islam, No to Israel, the ONLY democracy in the Middle East.
If Barack Obama can fire the CEO of GM, don't think that he doesn't believe he can force Netanyahu's hand either.
Israel, you have been warned.
