Israeli Paper Details Alleged Tense Confrontation Between Netanyahu and U.S. Ambassador Over Obama’s Iran Policy: ‘Lightning and Sparks Flew’

Two new signs point to the deepening rift between the Obama administration and the Israeli government over how to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons efforts: a reported confrontation between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the U.S. ambassador to Israel and a statement by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey that he doesn’t want to be “complicit” in an Israeli strike on Iran.
The Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot headlined its Friday paper “The Confrontation” with a photo of Netanyahu on one side and President Obama alongside U.S. ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, on the other. Veteran diplomatic correspondent Shimon Schiffer reports that during a private meeting last week, Netanyahu very undiplomatically attacked Obama and his advisers over what he views as their ineffective Iran policy. The incident took place when Republican congressman and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers visited Netanyahu’s office for an Iran briefing, accompanied by the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Schiffer reports (translated via hard copy by TheBlaze in Israel):
Netanyahu, according to a source who participated in the meeting, was particularly surly and stressed. At the start of the meeting, he opened with a sharp attack on the Obama administration which according to him has not done enough on the Iranian issue. “Instead of effectively pressuring Iran, Obama and his people are pressuring us not to attack the nuclear facilities,” he said, and then moved on to a harsh criticism of the administration’s pronouncements indicating there is still room for diplomacy. “The time has run out,” he said resolutely.
At one point, an anomalous thing occurred in the office, which is very unacceptable in diplomatic code. Ambassador Shapiro who was appointed by President Obama and for years was among his closest advisers decided he’d had enough. Enough is enough. He spoke and answered Netanyahu politely but in a manner that left no room for doubt.
The ambassador in fact accused Netanyahu of distorting Obama’s position. He quoted the president, who promised he would not allow a nuclear Iran and said that all options – including a military strike – are on the table […]
Diplomatic sources who were privy to the incident say that “lightning and sparks flew” in the room, and that the exchange of words became more harsh.
The U.S. embassy wouldn’t comment to the Yediot correspondent, and TheBlaze has not independently confirmed the story’s accuracy.
Meanwhile, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey voiced his strongest opposition to date to any unilateral Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear plants. He told reporters in London: “I don’t want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it.” The Guardian reports:
Distancing himself from any Israeli plan to bomb Iran, Dempsey said such an attack would “clearly delay but probably not destroy Iran’s nuclear programme”.
He added: “I don’t want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it.”
Dempsey said he did not know Iran’s nuclear intentions, as intelligence did not reveal intentions. What was clear, he said, was that the “international coalition” applying pressure on Iran “could be undone if [Iran] was attacked prematurely”. Sanctions against Iran were having an effect, and they should be given a reasonable opportunity to succeed.
For now it appears Iran’s nuclear march proceeds unabated by sanctions and diplomacy, as reflected in the most recent International Atomic Energy Agency report. According to the IAEA’s latest quarterly report, Iran has more than doubled the number of centrifuges it has in its underground Fordo bunker, vastly increasing its uranium enrichment capacity.

Warfare is not confined to armies openly marching. So much of warfare is done thru surrogates, secret services, economic espionage, economic warfare, cyber warfare., & diplomatic offenses.
To wit Iran is heavily invested in Syria. If Syria falls than the Iranian surrogate Hezbollah will be seriously curtailed in its’ power or cease to exist. Hezbollah has attacked the U.S. because it want to do so & Iran told them to attack us.
Iran has layed the ground work in Paraguay & Venezuela to attack the U.S. & U.S. interests in South America to include killing American citizens. If you are an American citizen visiting Igacu Falls as tourist when the balloon goes up it could be fatal.

A proxy attack even if it fails has many benefits.
- It diverts America’s attention (watch the birdie).
- It drains our resources.
- It weakens America’s resolve.
Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran. The rockets Hezbollah rains on Israel come from Iran. Hezbollah killed or kidnapped every American they could get their hands on in the 1980s. The_Jerk could get a private audience with Nasrallah.

Posted on August 31, 2012 at 5:00pmWhy is Israel confrontational and at odds with Obama over Iran? When was the last time Israel needed US approval to do anything? In times past we have heard the arrogance of Netanyahu and Peres saying they can do whatever they want and US will either just disgruntedly eat it or provide cover. They didn’t need US approval to bomb Lebanon, cast lead, bombing Syria in 02, bombing Iraq in 81, preemptively bombing and invading Egypt in the 70s and assassinating whoever they want. Israel can even get away with attacking American vessels in international waters killing our sailors, planning false flag attacks on the US ala Lavon affair, spying on us ala Jonathan Pollard (who Netanyahu is demanding be released) stealing uranium from us for their nuclear program and even selling our military secrets to China. All Israel has to do is say they are acting in self defense and they can get away with bombing their neighbors preemptively. So if it was self defense to bomb Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egpyt then why isn’t it self defense to preemptively bomb Iran? Why are they so scared? What are they waiting for? Israel should just manhandle Iran like they have manhandled the rest of their neighbors.

I fail to see your point about America’s aid to Israel. You say America is funding Iran’s enemy, but who decided that Israel was Iran’s enemy? Israel doesn‘t actively call for Iran’s destruction, committed no unprovoked actions, covert or otherwise, against Iran, and doesn‘t have a charter that calls for Iran’s extermination. Both Hamas and Hezbollah not only call for Israel’s destruction, in Hamas’ case the group was founded for the sole purpose of annihilating Israel. It’s in their charter for crying out loud. And both groups have historically and continuously engaged in unprovoked covert actions against Israel as well as actively attacking with rockets and engaging the Israeli military directly.
Iran made Israel its enemy by siding with these monsters. Jordan stands against them and has peace with Israel. Egypt under Mubarak opposed them and they had peace with Israel. Syria actively sponsored these groups and has seen high tensions with Israel, including military strikes. And we all know where Hussein’s Iraq stood and where it got them. Israel doesn’t even bother Pakistan that has nukes.
Iran is Israel’s enemy because that is the decision its leaders have chosen. Had we supported the recent uprising to overthrow the Shahs and a new government was formed that was friendly to Israel no one would stop them from going nuclear if they wanted to.

Posted on August 31, 2012 at 8:54amI’m not really a fan of Netanyahu. I don‘t really care if he’s whining. He‘s too much of paranoid hawk that’s going to get his people killed. I mean, I’m not one to tell them what to do, but I think he’s unwise and not considering how much chaos in the region his warmongering is going to trigger. I hope the Israeli people wake up and remove him from office soon the same as I hope we wake up to our warmongering leaders. I’m still captivated by that IDF chick with the piercing hazel eyes. I want her living in peace and passing the genes to those beautiful eyes down.

Report Post »No one, certainly not Netanyahu, wants to see unnecessary bloodshed. Had he been a true warmonger he would have attacked a long time ago. His delay is specifically to ensure the absolute minimal loss of life occurs. This is a man whose own brother died serving his country in an operation to save the hostages at Entebe in Uganda. As with most Israelis he’s been a soldier himself. He wouldn‘t send soldiers to die in a war he wasn’t willing to fight himself.

As I see it, Mr. Romney will win the hearts and minds of the majority of America. That will not account for the corruption of the bought-out Electorial College. Americans will go up in arms and the only solution will be to find all the dead people, still-borns or any other mass violations of voting on the part of the Chicago Mob-Machine, Union enforcers and people like Soros. That will take a lot of time to make happen. Like trying to find Jimmy Hoffa’s body.

Nothing to see here folks. Never mind the Iranian President and “Supreme Leader” denying the Holocaust, calling Israel a “cancerous tumor”, predicting Israel will be “wiped off the map”, being fervent believers of the return of their beloved 12th Imam during a world war, and burying their “peaceful” nuclear pursuit under mountains.
“Intelligence” apparently has nothing to do with common sense anymore. The Orwellian use of language with this regime and the liberal media has never been so obvious. Common sense says the O-regime are hiding something big underway that they have no intention of stopping.

Like so many, you do not understand the difference between Jewish and Zionist. Israel is a Zionist state. Like the Nazis, it sought, and is seeking, an ethnic state. Nazis wanted Aryans. Zionists want Jews. This is why the Zionists worked with the Nazi, Eichmann. They shared the exact same philosophy.

They really do not believe they are fanatical enough to start that kind of war, and many of them say they are Christian. Well they sure are not reading all the Bible, it’s pretty clear in that great roadmap of the world what is coming. I pray not for awhile, but we are really not in charge of what that great advisary does. If Obama looses (I’ll stay positive-when Obama looses), they may take a step back.

I guess you think the Tea Party is nothing more than a collective tantrum because they don’t want Obama and government bossing them around. You must think Americans have been spoiled by being allowed to freely practice religion, being guaranteed trial by jury, and being granted the right to live their lives as they see fit and that they should just shut up and take their medicine because Obama knows best.
After all, if thought any differently about Americans, you‘d have to be a hypocrite for thinking it’s okay for Americans to stand up for their right to freedom of conscious but that Israel doesn’t have the same right. After all, Israelis didn’t vote for Obama so if he can boss them around he can boss us around.

Baseless propaganda AGAIN? How is Israel belligerent? They have never launched a war of conquest, never tried to overthrow another nation’s government, or invaded a country in order to confiscate its resources.
When has American support been unconditional? Clinton didn’t just give Israel money, he pressured them into signing an accord with a terrorist group leader. Bush didn’t support Israel in everything; he told Israel to show restraint in Lebanon so as not to damage their “democratic” (and entirely powerless) government. President after president have pressured Israel into negotiating with those who refuse to even recognize Israel’s legitimacy and to accept terms that put Israel in a more vulnerable position. Nearly every Democrat and many Republicans have called for a settlement freeze. Even in 1976, where America’s aid is most visible, Israel had to practically beg for help AND indicate that they may be forced to use nukes before America chipped in.
Repeating the same lies over and over again doesn’t make them true Goebbels.

Posted on August 31, 2012 at 8:07amThe key to Israel’s survival this time will be the American election. If Obama loses, then Israel is free to defend itself. While they’ve always been able to hold their own in the past, this time the forces of radical Muslim militants have been amassing on ever border they have and aiming at them from every direction afar. If they start, they will be attacked from all sides, If they don’t start, it will be started for them as soon as the Muslim nut jobs feel they have the advantage.
The deciding factor will be whether or not America is in the fight with them. Put a Republican in the White House, and you’ll see things get quiet alot faster.
