The person who tells a friend what they like to hear! Or an honest world leader who gives an advice to the same friend about what is best for them in the long run? Certainly the later, because true friends tell their friends the facts even if those friends wouldn’t like it. When Presidents Obama emphasizes below facts, then he certainly has the best interest of Israel in mind…And that is a durable and comprehensive peace for Israel and its neighbors after 60 years of conflict, as well as economic prosperity and happiness for the region as a whole. Those who tell Israelis what some conservative Israelis like to hear are not true friends of Israel, just old fashioned politicians trying to please those people. , Those types of statements would harm the cause of peace and prosperity in the Middle East for the long run. When the US President makes a statement, then the rest of the US administration should follow his lead and DO NOT make contradictory foreign policy statements. Those types of statements send contradictory signals to present as well as potential friends and allies…
Fact 1: Any type of new settlement activity would very much harm the cause for peace and prosperity for the Israelis as well as in the Middle East as a whole.
Fact 2: Attacking Iran would very much create an unprecedented turmoil in the region and will delay indefinitely a comprehensive and durable peace in that part of the world. Henceforth such actions would be very much against the strategic interests of US and Israel…And those who say otherwise do NOT have the best strategic interests of these two countries in mind.
