Israel our Friend not Being Treated so Friendly

Tomorrow in the Wall Street Journal will be a one page add by Noble Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel to express his feelings of Obama recently telling Israel not to build housing in Jerusalem. Advisers are warning the Obama White House that the U.S. is not responding to the growing problem in Iran. And that Iran could reach nuclear capability and no one will stop it.
President Obama has stated that they could reach this point and nukes would remain without nothing being done. Israel and other countries around Iran are concerned as Iran would become a serious problem for all nations in that region.
Politics become strange bedfellows as 80 members of the Senate led by Jesse Jackson and house leader Mike Pense's 366 members voted for Obama to join allies for sanctions against Iran. Another vote from the house 412 votes and unanimous vote of Senate to cut off refined petroleum exports also ignored by the White House. Not to mention the two day nuclear summit did not even mention Iran.
How long will this continue? As we can clearly see Obama is trying to appease the Palestinians. A tactic which has never worked. As he tries to make them happy he is making Israel more and more angry and they should be as these missiles will be aimed at Israels back door. Not to mention a military build up at their northern border by Syria. Things are heating up and it looks like Obama isn't even paying attention.
This looks like it could become a pretty serious situation as Israel says the nukes will not remain in Iran. Does the President think someone else is going to come along and relieve this situation or does he realize he is in the middle of a pretty serious situation. Or will Israel take care of it themselves and go after the nukes? Where we are headed is not clear but I hope Obama wakes up soon and smells the roses. Marna
