Obama Rejects Netanyahu's Call for Iran to Recognize Israel - Breitbart

On Monday, President Barack Obama casually rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call to force Iran to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as part of any agreement on the country's nuclear program.

In a different time, and with a different president, this demand would have been a foregone conclusion. Israel is (I hate to say it, but "was" may be a better word until 2016), facing a serious threat if Iran obtains nuclear weapons. At the very least, forcing Iran to recognize Israel would be an effective way to begin to determine how honest they are when they say that they want nuclear technology for supposedly peaceful purposes. Obama is weak, and naive at best and dangerously evil at worst. This is proof.

Netanyahu: If Iran nuclear deal is good, why hide it from Israel? | The Times of Israel

No responsible PM could refuse invitation to speak to Congress on issue that threatens israel's survival, he tells visiting US Jewish leaders

So to recap: the Speaker of the House of the United States issues an invitation to the PM of, arguably, our closest ally to speak before the Congress. Keep in mind, this is something that has happened many times before, including with Netanyahu and there has been no controversy. Then the Obama administration manufactured (as the New York Times later admitted) a story about Netanyahu not informing the WH before he accepted the invitation (in fact, Bibi accepted the invitation only after he knew that Obama was aware of it). The Obama administration then also issued a statement saying that the POTUS would not meet with Netanyahu because of a supposed policy of not meeting with heads of state immediately before an election. Then, that turned out to be false as well. But even after ALL of that, the White House may be keeping Israel in the dark about the Iranian negotiations because it is concerned that Netanyahu is playing politics with the issue??? Whether you want to call it hubris, chutzpah or arrogance, the entire thing us mind numbingly aggravating and the stakes are so high that nobody, NOBODY, should be playing politics with this.
